Advice from past GDE students on progress to MSc programmes at other UK universities

The following links provide information from students who went on to successfully complete Master's programmes at LSE, UCL and Cambridge,  having first completed the GDE.

Please note: the students providing this information all satisfied offers conditional upon a Distinction, and were thus amongst the strongest students in their year. If you are considering applying to one of these universities you should only do so if you expect to achieve a similar standard. The programme director is always happy to provide reference letters.

We would welcome comments from past students who proceeded either to our own MScs, or to less selective Master's programmes.
