Using your degree
Use your degree subject to start your career planning. We have highlighted some career areas to think about, based on your subject.
Find us on Canvas
Our Canvas site contains lots of advice on career planning, as well as finding experience and making applications! Look out for Q&A discussion sessions on Zoom throughout the year, too.
Using your degree is 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. These are just starting points for generating ideas and exploring your options, you are not tied to them!
