Need Pros/Cons of LSE Msc Economic History urgently.

Profile:

  • 8.2/10, BSc Economics at a Top Indian College (Currently Final Year) 

  • Financial Risk Management (FRM) P1 Cleared with top quartiles

  • GRE: 168V/162Q

  • Work Experience/Leadership: Business Development/Management Trainee Internship at a large National Eyewear Retailer. (Involved mostly in e-commerce and Product). Starting an equity research internship at an established local finance firm soon. 

  • Head of Finance Club 

Have been offered a place and wondering whether should I attend the programme. 

I really would like to study economic history, but being an international student I'm concerned about the job prospects. I will be taking the CFA examinations in 2022 and searching for more relevant internships. 

How will this degree hold up if I search for jobs in IB/Equity research after graduating?
