London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) Rankings 2026

• Almost everyone in the batch secured a full-time role within 6 months of graduating; very few didn't take jobs and were by choice as far as I know. The average salary range for 0 to 2 years of experience is GPB 30,000 to GBP 60,000.
• The process for finding jobs is mostly on the student. You have to make the effort to network, rigorously apply on online job portals, track when applications open for a particular company, and maybe have a reference ready beforehand.
• Batchmates were placed mostly in boutique or mid-sized investment banking and consulting firms. A few landed jobs in bulge brackets or MNCs but mostly in their home countries.
• No major company has a particular tie-up, but almost all companies look favorably upon hiring an LSE graduate with a good CV and impressive interviews (relevant experience helps).

• LSE has licensed vendors for accommodations for Masters students. You can take those or try renting/leasing flats. Once you get admission, you get access to the internal portal to book the affiliated accommodations. Didn't really have to try external methods but can join Facebook groups (made for the incoming LSE batch for the degree) to find people to share rooms with if looking for that.
• Monthly rent was around GBP800. This included Wi-Fi, water, electricity, a kitchen (without utensils) and paid laundry services, as well as a computer room. Additional perks include a rec room with TT and multiple events on Halloween, Christmas, and Diwali.
• Recommendations: It will become a budgetary thing because London is expensive and how comfortable you are with sharing; almost all LSE accommodations were really good (they're all mostly going to be tiny).
• Accommodations for Masters are not close and are in a 6-7km radius (get an Oyster card for buses or the tube).

LSE, due to their reputation, gets top-notch companies on campus from the Big fours to investment banking firms. Many students look for roles in consulting and banking. The jobs are more on the higher paying side. There are career events on campus during the beginning of the year and specific ones for your industries of choice. There is a very helpful team of career advisors available throughout the year via appointment basis and they share multiple resources as well.

LSE is renowned worldwide for their academic standards, nobel prize winning professors and holistic student life in one of the most hustling cities in the world. i also choose this course because it gave me the opportunity to choose from 300 different courses and meet people from around the globe. It was a program that I could do simultaneously as part of my undergrad so the timing was perfect too.

There are wonderful research opportunities and fellowships available. There is a Careers department that organised plenty of workshops and seminars.

Because of its ranking and reputation. More importantly the course is unique and something I was very interested in

Its all one can ask for with the best alumni networks and highest post study placement in UK.

LSE is world's no 1 University and it very difficult to get a place there. Its faculty is too good and the only reason I applied in first place
