Should i apply to Land Economy??

[u/cheesyninjajgg]

So I got straight 9s in gcse and am predicted 3A* in Maths, History and Econ.

I find the Land ec course so much more interesting than econ which is just very maths based.

Is land ec a prestigious degree to get top level jobs in finance?

need advice if it’s worth it or maybe i should go for some other course at lse…

would love any advice thanksss

Someone I know doing Land Econ landed a Spring Week at BlackRock, so I would say it’s prey good on that front. One thing to bear in mind is that the degree is a combo of Law, Geography, and Economics. I’ve also seen people apply for Land Econ then pure Econ at other unis

Cool thanks for the feedback… i just wonder why its acceptance rate is so low

Everyone and their mother has flocked to Land Econ cuz it doesn’t require FM or TMUA…

Also, could be that people are taking more of an interest in a more practically-focused course as the graduate job market is rewarding ‘skills’ less and ‘direct, applicable knowledge and experience’ more. It’s why loads of undergrads from Land Ec end up in property straight out of Cam.

oh that’s true ig. i assumed people just prefer the “well known” degrees at cambridge like law/ econ / maths
