Hi everyone! I also got an offer for the MPA PEP, and I am still considering whether to accept it or not. I really like the programme and it is definitely something that I want to do, but my main concern is the money. My work experience is very short - only one year gap between BSc and Masters and completely irrelevant to what I really want to do. The problem is that 42,000 is a hell a lot of money for me (and my family) and I am seriously doubting the worthiness, considering the outcomes of friends from LSE and Oxford who start on 25 000 - 28 000 per year. I also have an offer from Erasmus University Rotterdam for MSc Economic Policy which is only 2000 euro... I would be very happy to hear any opinions for this course and mainly do you guys think that this is a good investment, especially if you are not a millionaire, but you really want to pursue a career in economic policy? One more thing, providing that I have done BSc in Economics and I am familiar with the foundations of the modules in year one, do you think that there would be enough time to have a part-time job for 20 hours a week?
