Welcome to LSE Careers Service

Changes to the International Graduate Scheme (IGS)  The Home Office have announced the introduction of a new points-based immigration tier system.  The IGS scheme has now been replaced by the post-study work visa, Tier 1 of the points based system, which enables international students graduating with a bachelors or higher degree to apply for a visa to work in the UK for up to 2 years. See Work permits and visa

Different graduate labour markets or, why does everything seem to be about banking?
Ever wondered why you see so many banks on campus in Michaelmas? Want to know the best way to find jobs in your chosen sector? See Different graduate labour markets for a simple overview and tips for success.

Holding an offer? Want to know more?
We can't offer you careers advice until you've enrolled as a student at LSE, but take a look at FAQs for prospective students for common questions.

Want to know about your job prospects?
We can't tell you what job you'll get when you graduate, but the Graduate Destinations website looks at how previous LSE students have progressed and What do LSE graduates do? for lists of typical jobs.
