THE UNITED KINGDOM – LSE, THE LONDON SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS AND POLITICAL SCIENCE School support: The LSE Department of Management supports visiting CEMS students in partnership with the LSE Careers Service. Incoming CEMS students have access to all the services offered by the LSE Careers Service. This includes careers information on the website, the online vacancy board, one-to-one careers advice, CV feedback, careers seminars and practice interviews. You can access these services once you have formally registered at the LSE (usually in early October for Term 1 or Early January for Term 2). Note that there is a limit on how many careers appointments a student can schedule per year (usually four). Students are encouraged to take advantage of the range of events organized by the Careers Service, including career fairs, workshops, company presentations and skills sessions and to apply for internships which are promoted by the School. Internships are posted on our online vacancy board. Please note that non-EEA students who come to the UK on a “Short-term Student” visa will not have permission to work in the UK. The School’s online Career Hub also has a number of events and volunteer opportunities. Many recruiting companies will host case studies, dinners, and presentations for students. Check often and always book in advance. Missing any booked events can result in penalties. Spring Weeks are a popular recruiting method in the UK and can often lead to internship and entry-level job offers. Research what firms may do Spring Week programmes for masters-level students.
