Career Prospects

LSE consistently ranks amongst the top UK universities for employability in the Sunday Times University Guide.

However, a law degree from LSE opens up many doors beyond a career in the legal profession. LSE law students are constantly encouraged to consider law in its social and economic context. This broader perspective on law and its role in society, as well as the innovative array of subjects offered, enables our graduates to enter into challenging careers in the civil service and policy-making, non-governmental organisations, think tanks, and journalism.

Skills acquired during an LSE LLB, such as the ability to communicate clearly and coherently, as well as a capacity for independent, analytical thinking, are highly sought after in the competitive job market.
