Is LSE undergrad good for an international student?

I know LSE is a target but what about international students in there? I have heard that jobs in UK are very difficult to obtain for foreigners and I don't want be unemployed (nobody does). Also how are international students who graduate from LSE with a Bachelor of Finance viewed in US and Canada? Thanks for helping :)

 

recruitment at both the undergraduate level and graduate level at LSE is mostly dominated by Chinese and Indians. a solid number of them land excellent spots each year.

you need to remember though that if you don't have citizenship or residency clearance of some sort, you need to get into a company that is willing to sponsor you

.
 

LSE is a top target school for UK - arguably the best one if you are aiming for Investment Banking. Loads of international students (Non-EU) place very well each year.

The course you study is not that important really, but Econ > Acc&fIN. Much more important is that you stay in the game as soon as you start by joining the right societies, going for spring weeks in first year and summer internships in penultimate year.
