Accessing MyCareer
Most of our services require a MyCareer login. Find out how to access MyCareer below:
Access
You will automatically have access to MyCareer after you complete online registration at the start of your degree. It usually takes a maximum of two days after registration until you have access. You will have access as a current student until your degree programme ends. This is usually the end of June for undergraduates and nine month master's students, and the end of September for postgraduates. After this time you will switch to having 'alumni' access.
You are eligible to use MyCareer if you are currently studying a degree programme awarded by LSE. Language Centre and Summer School students are not able to access MyCareer.
