International careers

LSE Careers is once again collaborating with Imperial, Oxford and Cambridge to bring you the China Careers Fairs in Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong. Last year’s China fairs proved very successful with several LSE attendees obtaining placements and job offers as a result of attending the events.

If you are looking for a job or an internship in a Western multinational or a Chinese company you might be interested in attending our China fairs held in Beijing (Monday 3 September 2012), Shanghai (Wednesday 5 September 2012) and Hong Kong (Monday 10 September 2012).

For further information and to apply please visit the LSE China Careers Fairs website.
