Hi,

I'm French and will graduate in July from the University of Birmingham where I did a Bachelor of Mathematical Economics and Statistics. I want to pursue my studies and I received several offers but I can't make up my mind... Which is why I'm here looking for your help/advice !
I received offers from LSE and UCL in the UK and from PSE (Paris School of Economics) and Polytechnique in France all for a Master of Economics. Both masters in the UK last one year and both masters in France last two years. I don't mind studying two more years so the duration is of no concern.
I would like to work in international institutions such as the OECD or European institutions in development or in the energy sector. I wonder which would be the best option for me ? Studying back in France since I will already have a UK degree ? Going to LSE because of their reputation ?

Thank you for your help !

Congratulations. These are good schools. The LSE is much stronger for the PhD. For teaching, the other schools will be better. The two year programmes will give you better opportunities: summer internships and larger research projects. The PSE programme is especially strong, and more demanding quantitatively, than similar programmes. The University of Paris-Saclay masters looks a bit lighter to me: many classes are taught at the Ecole polytechnique but I guess the students become alumni of Saclay.

Hey,

Thanks for your answer ! Do you think PSE allows to work in fields outside from research ? I would like to work in international institutions but in research though and I'm afraid PSE is too oriented towards this field.

For that try Sciences Po.

Toulouse business school. The Dean is Jean Tirole and he was able to attract many interesting economists from top US Universities which were very hard to attract to France.

École nationale d'administration is also another option.

Oxford and Cambridge also have very good Economics Departments
