What our graduates do
In a recent survey of Philosophy graduates two and five years after graduating, all were in employment. Some of our recent graduates work in:
- Journalism
- Marketing
- Teaching
- Law charity and non-governmental organisations (NGOs)
- The civil service.
Others have forged careers in film-making, fundraising, public relations, art and computer science to name just a few destinations.
"I use skills gained from my degree day to day in questioning structures that are already in place to improve them, and in understanding the viewpoints of different people."
