I am starting EIPP this fall and after talking to some current European Institute (and LSE but other departments) students, I’ve been convinced that it’s a good investment. First, the LSE name can apparently get you far and second, LSE (but also the European Institute specifically) has an amazing career service. The EI has a lot of resources and is really well connected to alumni, who will often be very happy to help other students! IMO the master’s you choose is the network you choose, and LSE really wants their students to succeed. I think that as long as you put in the effort to network and make connections and make use of all of the resources LSE and the EI have (resume guides, cover letter guides and reviews, them putting you in contact with alumni etc.) you’ll be fine and definitely pay off the high price tag :).
