I would tell a story of your past, briefly, but detailed. Then metaphorically relate the story to each segment.

Looking over the coursework for the LSE program you mentioned, in the United States a comparable program would be an MSF - Master of Science in Finance, and I say that because the theory is quite nuanced (as a graduate degree should be) into financial economics and financial markets, with a high degree of technical application. You'll find similar programs in the States at: * University of Illinois - Champaign / Urbana * Washington University in St. Louis * New York University - Stern School of Business * George Washington University * University of California - Berkeley * Claremont McKenna Most advanced programs in Finance, Financial Engineering, Quantitative Finance and Mathematical Finance are doctoral level in part because of the heavy emphasis on research. Master's-level programs in the States tend to be more applied towards business (although these will prepare one for doctoral study). I hold an MA in Economics from the University of Missouri at St. Louis, and took graduate-level classes in finance. I'm supplementing my study with preparation in the CFA program, which is something I'd suggest you consider. You could do worse than to earn your CFA while working through a Master's program - the material in both lend well to each other.
