Using your degree
Use your degree subject to start your career planning. It's a good place to begin, as you are building a range of skills and knowledge throughout your course. Employers will increasingly look for wider life skills, too. We have highlighted some career areas to think about, based on your subject.
These are just starting points for generating ideas and exploring your options, you are not tied to them!
