Course summary

This two-year programme gives you the chance to earn two degrees and study at two globally renowned institutions: LSE and Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA). In the first year at LSE, you’ll develop your understanding of political science, economics and quantitative analysis and the principles underlying good public policy. The second year at SIPA builds on this methodological training. You’ll choose one policy concentration and complete an industry project with an external client, applying your learnings to a real-world policy challenge. Throughout your studies, you’ll have access to the combined resources, opportunities and networks of both prestigious institutions and deepen your understanding of policy challenges in contrasting cultural environments. You’ll learn with peers from a wide range of nationalities and fields – enriching your learning further. Your double degree credentials and international insights will give you an added edge over other graduates. You’ll gain the skills and expertise to address complex policy issues and pursue a high-level career in government, international organisations, the private sector or NGOs.
