Supporting you during your LSE studies

LSE Careers aims to provide students identifying as LGBTQ+ with valuable resources, advice, and opportunities to engage with inclusive employers during their time at LSE. In addition to our core offer, this includes bespoke events with both employers and LGBTQ+ alumni, access to a range of up-to-date online resources, careers blogs, and more – all aimed at supporting you to shape your career journey. In short, we aim to help you approach your job search and preparation for graduate recruitment and selection and empower you to feel more confident in bringing your whole self to work.
