Health Warnings / How to Understand the List

The list has been compiled using information on graduate outcomes from the University of Huddersfield and universities across the UK, as well as the graduate career resources detailed below.

It shows jobs that people with this degree (or a closely related subject) have obtained, many within 6-15 months after graduation. It is intended to give a realistic sense of what jobs someone might consider.

It is not a list of all the jobs that the degree is relevant to. There are more possibilities out there, so don’t limit your thinking to these. Use the list as starting point for your thinking.

It is not a guarantee that if you have this degree you will get a certain type of job, as each employer will make their own decisions depending upon the individual applicant.

Some of the jobs listed may require further study, training, skills and / or experience in addition to the degree, so we strongly advise you to research requirements further.
