    Hi Natasha, it's a rolling admission process, but they will stop accepting new applications when the program is full. Happened quite early with my program. It was probably one of the first to close down. I think around February. You'll have plenty of time to apply for financial aid with LSE when you apply by mid-november.

    1. No, it is not! 2. You are not deciding between studying at a good university or becoming a diving instructor in the caribbean instead. You are choosing between LSE/PSIA and Cambridge. What is there to lose? Cambridge is unarguably one of the best universities in the world!

    Wow! Congrats Oxbridge is a big brand in the USA, however a dual degree at Science Po AND LSE funded by Fulbright...I would go with that. The name "Fulbright" alone will already boost your resume like crazy. It is a very powerful network (and they give you money, too!). I experienced it first hand when I was in the US (top 10 School) (A friend of mine was in the programme). Combined with a dual degree from two of the most prestigious universities in the world in the field of IR/Politics. Sounds like a good deal to me. And it even comes with the option to live in Paris and London :). But that is just my opinion. Hope I could help you at least a little bit

    You automatically applied for Scholarships at LSE with your application to the GSS. So even though they didn't offer you any funding (its the same for me btw) doesn't mean that you'll not get a scholarship. However: Decisions concerning the scholarships will not be out until July.

    Yes

    true! Sorry to hear about the funding. At least it is not that expensive to live in Berlin compared to other european and even german cities :). Did you try the german academic exchange service? They offer a variety of scholarships.

    My thoughts exactly! I don't think that you necessarily have to attend a US School for a career in the US. However, I think it is a good idea to use the academic exchange or dual degree options to spent some time at a US School or a European Institution that is more well known if you want to work in the US.

    This is a tough one. Personally I would choose LSE over Science Po, but I got to admit that Im a little biased since I accepted an offer from LSE and do not speak french ;). SAIS is a school with an incredible reputation especially in the US. In Europe its a little different (from my subjective point of view, Im German). However, the general public will probably not be familiar with the school, but your future employees should. For me, personally, I would probably choose LSE out of financial reasons. Paying "more" in the US will not necessarily get you "more" (in terms of employability). Good luck with your choice

    Well, about the "completion": Iam working on that I will hopefully be able to hand in my thesis until the programme starts. (8months to go). My topic is the reform of the audit market in the european union. There are certain regulatory measures that I try to evaluate in a legal context. To be able to do that, I have to consult quite a bit of economic research on the subject of audit regulation. Its really fascinating

    Hey, thank you! Yes, the PPA was and is my first choice. I also applied for the MSc Public Management and Governance. About the concentration: Im not sure yet, but I think Ill stick with the public management track, because i want to take one or two courses in "regulation" (my PhD Thesis is a regulatory topic and I have a law background).

    Received an offer for the MSc Public Policy and Administration from LSE today!

    Hey RunnerGrad, i just came across your post. Maybe I'll can help you a little since I am German and a PhD Student in Germany (but I currently live in the US). Im not sure how helpful i can be since Im a PhD Student in Law and "our" system is a little special. Normally you do not formally apply for a doctoral programme like you would for a Master. All you need is a doctoral supervisor who is willing to accept you as a PhD-Candidate. In addition, each University has a catalogue of requirements that you have to meet (e.g. a Masters degree). You apply for the doctoral programme like you would apply for a job. Maybe there are alternatives in natural sciences like PhD-Programmes in a more anglo-saxon kind of way. Do you already have a preference? If so: Send me the link and I'll check it out for you.

    Program: MSc Public Policy / MSc Public Management School Applying to: London School of Economics Undergraduate / Graduate Institution: German Public University (nobody cares about the University, since its a state examination) Undergraduate / Graduate Major: Law Undergrad GPA: Its impossible to translate the grade into the GPA System; Ranking: Best 4,4 % of the year Current Occupation: – PhD Student (Law: Regulation, Corporate, EU Law) – Visiting Scholar (Top 10 US Law School) Years of Work Experience: "2 years" Work Experience: I am a tutor and research assistant at the University. I don't think that counts as "real" work experience Age: 28 Published Work: One Journal Concerns: Work Experience Its not unusual to do both a PhD and another postgraduate degree after finishing law school in Germany. We do love titles
