Data Visualisations

Planning Division is responsible for creating and maintaining a variety of data visualisations on Tableau Server to support decision making for senior management, departments and divisions.

The key collections of Tableau dashboards we produce can be found below with descriptions, access restrictions (for sensitive data) and links to the dashboards. Limited data on overall student headcount is made publicly available.

A list of dashboards produced at LSE can be found on the DTS dashboard webpage.

Please note that to access most dashboards you must be provided with a Tableau Server account from DTS. Further information on Tableau access can be found on the DTS Getting Started webpage.
