Institutes's Reputation Important for IGO Career?


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone. I'm a prospective postgraduate student in Political Science from Asia.

I'm wondering if the reputation of the school where you get a Master from is an important part of being a successful candidate for positions at IGO, or whether the actual focus of the master program matters more.

As it stands now, I have received two offers- one is International Public Policy from UCL and the other one is Political Economy of Late Development at LSE. While I personally prefer the curriculum of the former a bit more, I have concerns as to whether the world-beating global reputation of LSE will be more of an asset in competing for positions or internship at IGO or global business corporations. on the other hand, I have a (unsubstantiated) gut feeling that the MSc at LSE has a more specialised or narrow focus while that of UCL covers a broader dimension of international politics/policies.

I'm torn about the situation as I want to make a decision that will make the most out of the not exactly inexpensive in terms of getting me closer to my aspired career paths.

Has anyone had experience with the programs or ideas about how much the fame of the institute should figure in the career equation, especially in terms of one about international organisations or businesses?
