The Careers & Alumni Programme

LSA continues to invest in and support its students beyond graduation through a comprehensive Alumni Programme.

Our Careers & Alumni team help students to transition from LSA into their chosen next step while remaining an important part of the wider LSA community.

All graduates are invited to join our Alumni Programme, which includes:

  • a twice-weekly opportunities newsletter

  • 1:1 job application and CV support

  • access to ring-fenced industry jobs

  • invites to events and exclusive screenings

  • a bursary programme

  • further training opportunities.

Alongside our industry partners, LSA has created the ‘LSA Traineeships’. These are entry-level positions open exclusively to graduates of LSA in organisations such as A24, NBCUniversal, Sony and Neverland.

These paid entry-level jobs require no previous experience to apply for, are an amazing way to build skills and understanding of how the industry works and are an excellent first step to starting a career.

Our alumni play a key part in educating current students on the realities of working in the creative industries, providing advice and guidance on how to succeed. Alumni from our network have delivered masterclasses, worked as mentors and offered guidance as part of our careers programme.
