Hear from alumni who have chosen to pursue graduate study programmes and learn more about what options are available to you at LSE.

The session will be split into two parts. In the first part of the session you'll have the chance to meet General Course alumni who are currently pursuing or have recently completed graduate study programmes. You can ask the alumni about the differences between undergraduate and postgraduate studies, how their further education has influenced their career plans and what advice they’d give to anyone considering following a similar path.

The second part of the session will be hosted by Graduate Admissions, and you'll get the chance to learn more about graduate study at LSE. In addition to providing an overview of graduate study opportunities and the application procedure, we will also be sharing insider tips on how you can make a strong application. You'll hear about the most common things that former General Course students get right - and wrong! - when making an application for graduate study at LSE.

The panel discussion will run from 15:30 - 17:00
