1. You can get most of the CT exemptions from Act Sc programme at LSE so you are very close to becoming an AIA if you have done a good degree.
2. I think a BS is mmust if you want to succeed in western economies. MS is generally not required and could go seriously wrong if you haven't done it strategically. I think I developed a lot of skills and competencies that I wouldn't have had had I not been to LSE. LSE gives you platform to experience good variety of careers, including financial services, politics, industry etc. If I were to start again, I would still go for LSE. (Note that I took a decision 4 years ago when I had offer from Oxford to go in favour of LSE and since that day I have no regrets).
3. The three year study at LSE would approximately cost about £50,000, which includes tuition, accom. etc.
4. You can work upto 20hrs a week and many students do work parttime to get some cash. All classes for ug studies are in day-time.
5. Salaries depends on industry and profession. In finance, there is a huge range. Starting salaries are low but they can go up rapidly if you are performing well in a profession/firm.
6. For ug there are some scholarhsips available and they are very very competitive.
7. I don't believe in ranking. Thing that counts is if you are studying at LSE or are graduate of LSE, you can explore any thing you desire to explore. You could try management/strategic consulting, investment banking, investment consulting, actuarial, big 4 accountancy, magic circle law firms etc. With a good LSE degree and an interest for further study, you can also get admission in top UK and USA schools.
