A searchable PDF showing 636 unique employer and job title combinations from six years of LSHTM Graduate Outcomes Survey data, organised by programme. Use Ctrl+F (Windows) or Cmd+F (Mac) to jump to your programme and see the real organisations and roles that LSHTM graduates have gone on to work in — across the UK and internationally. Employer names are as reported by graduates so the same organisation may occasionally appear under slightly different names.

This tool helps you map your LSHTM training, background, and interests to specific job titles, roles, and organisations in public and global health. Rather than giving you a generic list of career options, it works through a short conversation with you — asking about your programme, your background, what kind of work energises you, and where you want to work — then gives you a personalised shortlist of roles that fit your profile, a curated list of target organisations grouped by sector, and one honest observation about your career thinking that you might not have considered. It is designed for students at any stage — whether you are just starting to think about careers, mid-career and looking to pivot, or already senior and seeking to specialise.
