LSE after Brexit ?
In your opinion do you think LSE would still be one of the best, if not the best university for economics in Europe after the UK leaves the EU ? I read that more than 70% of the students there are international students, so wouldn't that be a big problem after the UK leaves ? I wanted to apply to LSE, but then I thought about the possible consequences of Brexit. Now, I am not sure whether or not the Bocconi University would be a better choice because that in my opinion is the best university in Europe for economics (excluding the UK).
Same thoughts, a nightmare man
Unfortunately I don't think anyone will be able to answer that question conclusively. I've been struggling with this myself in choosing my Master's. What I can tell you though is that tuition costs will most likely rise as you'd no longer be paying the current EU-student rate.
Bump
LSE, Oxbridge, LBS should all be fine but the lower ranked English Unis (and there are so many) are likely to be in for a decline in applications. Continental Europe offers comparable Unis to the 2nd or 3rd tier English ones that can rival for London placement (if that's the goal) or to stay in the EU.
In my opinion, most universities that have good placements out of their Master’s programmes will be fine but those that primarily place well out of their undergrad (UG) will suffer.
Reason being that now EU students will have to pay c£20k per year (this is just tuition fees; maintenance/living exp, go on top of these) for 3 years to attend most decent universities in the UK.
Compared to this, UG at their local university may make sense. Which means that universities are likely to see kids do UG in local countries and then come over for postgraduate/master’s. Hence, they are only likely to target universities with good PG placement.
Which unis have good graduate level placement, but not good undergrad placement?
Brexit will undoubtedly hurt LSE for the reason you pointed out. However, I think in terms of status, quality of education, and connections, those things will take quite some time to fade if ever.
