Career Opportunities

Our students develop the skills of critical thinking, close reading and effective communication. These same skills are valued by employers in many other professions too, such as the law, the civil service, industry, and social work. Upon graduating, our students would draw directly on their subject and pursue careers in arts, management, information management, journalism or go into academia. And, unsurprisingly, many graduates would go on to work in the media, theatre and film.
