If you're coming from a totally non-technical undergrad, there's no way in hell you'll get into APE. Fact. You should try your luck at a more cash cow-type programme. They're more likely to accept a more diverse range of candidates since they want your money.

• Economist 0e09 Here is some advice - go to the website and read the course booklets. There is one for the APE and the PPD. You will find that the APE requires more theory courses (micro, macro and econometrics). Therefore, to get into the APE, you need to have taken economics to at least an intermediate level with decent grades (an A or first class). The APE also has a broader set of electives in the M2, so you will have more options for for specialisation (like micro theory, behavioural, macro/international) during and after the program. The PPD does not have these theory sequences, and the courses are more applied. But if you are interested in development, and you prefer the PPD electives, it might be a better choice. 5 years ago 0 Good 0 No Giod !

• Economist ca04 You absolutely need to look up something else, because PSE/TSE will not admit you with your law undergrad. If you want to transition, look elsewhere. In the UK, a lot of programmes don't necessarily need Econ undergrad, but those are generally lower ranked places (don't even look at LSE/UCL/etc.). Other option you have is Humboldt (Berlin), you have a chance there and the level of their MSc is MILES above most 1yr MSc in UK (in fact you will really struggle to pass if you have zero background in calculus, linear algebra etc.). 2 years ago 0 Good 0 No Giod !

Wtf are you talking about? The LSE 2 year msc will absolutely take anyone that’s taken like, multivariate calc. So will Cambridge provided your GPA is high enough. Warwick had a diploma + msc that’s the same as the LSE 2 year. The Paris School of Economics (PSE; French: École d'économie de Paris) is a French research institute in the field of economics. It offers MPhil, MSc, and PhD level programmes in various fields of theoretical and applied economics, including macroeconomics, econometrics, political economy and international economics. PSE is a brainchild of the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (EHESS, where the students are enrolled primarily), the École Normale Supérieure, the École des Ponts and University of Paris 1 Pantheon-Sorbonne, and it is physically located on the ENS campus of Jourdan in the 14th arrondissement of Paris. It was founded in 2006 as a coalition of universities and grandes écoles to unify high-level research in economics across French academia, and was first presided by economist Thomas Piketty. Since its foundation it has gained a certain amount of academic weight, and according to a ranking released by project RePEc in May 2020, it was ranked as the fifth-best university-level economics department in the world and first in Europe. Paris School of Economics' ranking has consistently risen since it was listed on the rankings on RePEc.

  Status[edit]

  Created in December 2006, the Paris School of Economics has the status of fondation reconnue d’utilité publique (a Public interest foundation). This status allows PSE to draw on both public and private funding. PSE is one of the "Fondation de Coopération Scientifique" (Scientific Research Foundations), a new type of foundation created by the Government to develop centres of excellence in France. Scientific Research Foundations operate according to the same rules as Public interest foundations.

  The Paris School of Economics is administered by a Board of Directors consisting of representatives of the public and private partners, researchers, and outside personalities. The Scientific Council consists of international researchers, external to PSE, of whom at least 50% work abroad. The Scientific Council evaluates the quality of both current and proposed teaching and research programmes. 3 Nobel Prizes laureates are members of the PSE Scientific Council.

  Degree programs[edit]

  The foundation offers teaching through four Master programmes (APE, PPD, EDCBA, and Economics & Psychology) and a PhD Economics programme (within EDE-EPS).

  Master's programs[edit]

  Master APE: Analysis and Policy in Economics Master PPD: Public Policy and Development Master EDCBA: Economic Decision and Cost-Benefit Analysis Master Economics and Psychology
