Estimate for this university

All law master’s

All master’s, every subject (£44,900 at 5 years)

Estimate: the law master’s figure, adjusted by how LSE’s law master’s graduates were paid compared with all universities (HESA survey of 2011/12 to 2016/17 leavers, 44 graduates, each salary brought up to date with its industry’s pay growth). Because that data is older, it counts for 40%; the other 60% comes from today’s undergraduate pay at LSE.

Range of pay

£27,800 to £55,700 after 1 year

£38,600 to £88,200 after 5 years

In work or study

88.6% after 5 years, all universities

95% in graduate jobs or study after 15 months, LSE

Full-time taught master’s graduates of this university in law in professional or managerial work or further study, about 15 months on, 2020 to 2023 (Office for Students).
