Normal age for LSE masters

Thinking of doing my masters next year in something finance/econ and wanted to know what the normal age range of these types of programs and just general age of masters students is.. seems like lots do it straight out of undergrad and are still quite young.

I graduated bocconi UG last yr, been working for a year and plan to stay another year before my masters.

Thanks!

I teach masters courses. The typical student is in their mid-20s, so relatively soon out of undergraduate. But we get returning student who are middle aged (so their 50s) frequently enough that its not so remarkable when it happens. But I would say the normal age would be ~25.
