UCL or LSE ?

[LemonTeaWOLemon]

Hi! I’m new here and this is my first post after lurking for a while and getting some wonderful insights into the postgraduate field. Hoping maybe I can get some thoughts about choosing between LSE and UCL.

 

I have got two offers - MSc Political Economy of Late Development, from LSE, and MSc International Public Policy, from UCL. Personally, I marginally prefer the curriculum of UCL’s program. But the reputation of LSE is just unbeatable and I’m thinking if it may open more doors career-wise, especially if I want to work in IOs (development-centric or policy-centric).

 

Which program may be better in terms of teaching/academic quality and career prospects? Has anyone had experience with the two programs/schools or the IO career?

 

Thanks!!
