Making your application
- To apply for any of our Masters programmes, you will need to use the University's online application system.
As part of your application, you have to nominate two referees who can comment on your suitability for the programme. The referees should be people who are able to comment on your academic ability and your professional experience.
Please include with your application an official copy of your degree transcript.
Closing date for applications
As entry to the programme is competitive, we recommend that you apply as early as possible, and certainly before the end of June. If you wish to be considered for a departmental bursary, your form should reach us no later than 30 May.
Selection process
What's it like to study at LUMS?
To get an inside picture, take a look at some of the alumni profiles written by those who have completed Masters programmes within the Department of Economics.
We assess you on the basis of your application form, looking not only at your academic background and other qualifications but also your rationale for doing the programme and how it fits with your career plans. It is therefore important that you think carefully about this section of the application form.
Offers of a place
All applications are acknowledged as quickly as possible. If we offer you a place, please respond to our offer within four weeks of receiving the formal offer letter. If this is not possible, then please tell us.
Finding out more
There is a School-wide Postgraduate Open Day once a year (usually in February), where you can talk to staff about any of the School’s taught Masters programmes.
If you are based outside the UK, you may be able to talk with a member of staff at one of the overseas recruitment fairs we attend.
