In 2015/16, 94% of the School’s graduates who were available for work reported they were in employment and/or further study within six months of graduation. Many graduates enjoy their year overseas so much that they take time out for more travel, or go abroad on graduation in search of employment. Of those who choose to remain in the UK, many pursue postgraduate studies such as one of the School’s MA Translation degrees or a PGCE. Others start work immediately following their studies, and our graduates go on to secure excellent careers in international diplomacy, the Civil Service, teaching, business and journalism. Other employment options include roles as translators, language assistants, export assistants and proof-readers.
