What’s the difference between an MSc and MPhil at Oxford, Cambridge, and LSE?
I’m considering applying to these institutions next year for programs in economic policy. I want my degree to play a part in my life, but I don’t want to continue on to doctoral work in the same field.
Which do you think would be more appropriate?
Thanks!

Actually the MPhils at Oxford and Cambridge are taught degrees. The MPhil degrees tend to be two years long compared to a one year MSc such as Oxford’s MSc in development economics or LSE’s MSc in Local Economic Development. There may be exceptions to this pattern so I suggest you look at the course’s structure and content rather than just it’s degree title.
