Eligibility for LSE Master's programs depends on the specific course:

- Work experience: Most programs do not require work experience. For the Master's in Management, having at least three months is preferred but not mandatory. Outstanding candidates without experience are still considered.
- GRE/GMAT: GRE or GMAT scores are generally required if you do not hold a UK undergraduate degree. For some programs (like MSc Econometrics and Mathematical Economics), a strong quantitative GRE score (typically 166+) is expected. If you have a UK degree, GRE/GMAT is often optional but can strengthen your application, especially if your math background is not strong.

Requirements are subject to change. If you need help with your application or have questions about your profile, please contact your LeapScholar counsellor.
