LSE Msc Economics for Canadian University Student

[hbear]

Hello grad cafe.

I am an economics student at McGill University in Canada.

I have decided to attend LSE for my graduate studies and I have not much

knowledge about how British graduate system works. It seems the graduate degree

education duration is only for a year which is a bit peculiar to me.

I was wondering,

1. If LSE accepts many applicants for Msc Economics program from overseas (given equal credentials)

2. If LSE would be difficult for a graduate of Canadian university and an Asian student to get adjust to. (culturally, academically and socially)

3. If LSE really is a good school as many people in NA seem to think so. (I have tried to do my research on this; however, most information in NA seem to suggest that LSE is a very very top notch school in league with Oxbridge, whereas my friends in England seem to disagree with such a claim).

Thank you, and I wish you all luck in your academic endeavors
