Careers in China is a careers programme designed for current students and recent graduates planning to return to China and looking for employment in an international or Chinese company.
Featuring LSE alumni and employer representatives from a range of sectors, our Winter Term Careers in China events give you the opportunity to hear more about different sectors, ask questions, and discover where your career in China could take you. Employers attending the events usually include those offering internships and places on graduate schemes, as well as those hosting recruitment panels and providing sector insights.
In August 2025, we are also hosting three flagship careers fairs in Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong. These events are hosted collaboratively by LSE, Imperial College London and King's College London, and are the perfect place for you to explore different organisations and opportunities in each region.
This year’s Careers in China events will primarily take place during Winter Term, with a series of employer presentations during Autumn Term and three in-country careers fairs in August 2025.

Joining our Careers in China events? Make the most of your time by following the tips below...
- Do your research
Research employers online before events – look at the company’s website and social media to learn about the business, its culture and values, roles available and the recruitment process. Employers will expect you to have done a little research in advance; it will enable you to ask intelligent questions during any event Q&As and help you decide if you want to work for the organisation.
- Know what's on offer
Some employers may be recruiting for full-time graduate positions that start in the autumn, others will be recruiting interns for the summer or might have roles with immediate start dates.
- Ask questions
Asking questions is a good way to get noticed by an employer if you decide to follow-up with them after the event or make an application to the company.
- Take notes
Keep a notepad with you and write down any new information you learn about organisations and sectors; you can use this information to enhance your job applications and interviews. Keep a note of peoples' names for future networking and of application deadlines to ensure you apply on time!
- Update your CV
Your CV will often be your first opportunity to make an impression with an employer and will frequently be used to make a very quick decision about your potential suitability for their organisation and role. Use our information on CVs, cover letters and application forms, CareerSet or book a one-to-one appointment to get your CV ready.
- Follow up after the events
- Connect with employers on LinkedIn and follow them on social media.
- Thank the organisations for their time and re-state your interest.
- Apply! Check the requirements and recruitment cycle - if it's rolling, don't wait for the closing date as the roles may be full by then.
- Check your emails, including your spam folder! You don't want to miss out because of a lost message.
