The figures published here present LSE degree outcomes data for the academic year2 2023-4 and 2024-5. Going forward, we will publish similar datasets annually which will show the progress we are making to widen access and support the success of students from underrepresented groups across the UK.

The new LSE strategy articulates an ambitious programme of work which places equality and diversity at the heart of our campus community. Through our LSE Access and Participation Plan we have committed to increasing the participation and on-course success of students from key groups underrepresented in higher education. The APP sets out our five-year plan to achieve these goals, encompassing the whole student journey, from enrolment to securing graduate employment.
