Course summary

What this course is about

UCAS code: L140

Here's what London School of Economics says about its Econometrics & Mathematical Economics course.

Econometrics uses statistical and mathematical methods and theoretical models to help us understand real-world economic issues and predict future trends. In industry and government, there is a real need for graduates who understand econometrics. So, this BSc Econometrics and Mathematical Economics equips you with in-demand skills.

The programme provides a solid grounding in micro and macro economics and econometrics. You’ll learn how empirical methods are used to test economic theories and gain hands-on experience in statistical programming.

Throughout your studies, you’ll be taught by academics who are advising government, business and the finance sector on policy. So, your learning will be informed by real-world thinking and applications. Our department is regularly ranked number one outside the US for published research in economics and econometrics.

Please note: students are rarely admitted to the programme in the first year, as this is too early to commit to a research career in economics. A limited number of students transfer to this programme from other LSE programmes in the third year to complete the dissertation in quantitative economics.

Night life surprisingly active; you just have to make sure to make friends in halls / course / sports. Sports particularly socially active.

It's quite good if you get stuck in, I would say that if you don't really put yourself out there then you could feel very lonely very fast.
