What do LSE graduates do?


You might be considering LSE as a prospective student, be part-way through your degree here, or perhaps you've already graduated.

Whatever stage you're at, LSE Careers has a wealth of information available to inspire, inform and help you to make those all-important decisions and choices about your next steps.

LSE Careers has information about what jobs LSE graduates go into approximately 15 months after they graduate, which can be a useful starting point when thinking about your own career journey.

Collected as part of the Graduate Outcomes exercise, data is collated at the five-year aggregate level and currently includes data from respondents in cohorts that graduated between 2017/18 and 2021/22.

For most views you can search this data by level of study, student department, and programme name to find out what previous students went on to do after they graduated.

About this data: The data on this page has been collected by the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) and supplied to LSE as part of the 2017/18, 2018/19, 2019/20, 2020/21, and 2021/22 Graduate Outcomes exercises. In these exercises, graduates from universities in the UK higher education sector are asked about their activities and circumstances approximately 15 months after graduating.
