English is an adaptable subject, opening a flexible range of career options. English graduates tend to have a broad understanding of the world and possess good written and spoken communication skills. They have also received rigorous training in working independently and thinking critically. These qualities are highly sought after by employers. Indeed, statistics show that students of English are often better at securing 'graduate-level' posts than comparable humanities graduates.
Teaching is a regular occupational choice of our graduates but by no means their only available career path! Many enter general management, consultancy, and the civil service, as well as research, journalism, library and information science, publishing and, increasingly, creative industries, especially the media.
Don't just take our word for it, read our Graduate Profiles to meet some of our former students and find out what they are doing now.
