Guest123123 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 In your view, how does LSE's comparative government program compare to similar programs in the United States, especially in terms of placement outcomes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victorydance Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I am confused at what you are asking. Are you talking about the MSc Comparative Politics program? What exactly do you mean by placement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest123123 Posted March 27, 2014 Author Share Posted March 27, 2014 I mean the PhD in government. Sorry. As for placement, I meant jobs afterwards.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victorydance Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Not good. http://www.lse.ac.uk/government/degreeProgrammes/programmes/phd/About-the-programme/Destinations/PhD-Destinations-1992-2009.aspx http://www.lse.ac.uk/government/degreeProgrammes/programmes/phd/About-the-programme/Destinations/phd-destinations.aspx I believe that in the last 20+ years they have not placed someone in a major research university in the USA (best placement in the US was at Northern Illinois). Does seem fairly marketable in Europe/Canada/Asia though. As a general rule, in order to break into the US market, you need a Ph.D. from a US school (obviously there are exceptions however, but they are rare). Of course, the US isn't the end all be all of the market, but it does cut you market virtually in half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
