Career opportunities

A good literature degree opens many doors.

The number of careers that lead from courses in literature is almost as large as the number of graduates, but two particular areas in which our graduates have had recent success are publishing and the theatre. One of our former students is now in charge of editorial at a large publishing house, and another has just taken over running one of the country’s major theatres.

Our recent graduates have gone on to work in a wide range of desirable roles, including:

- The Civil Service
- Journalism and Broadcasting
- Marketing
- Museum and library work
- Commerce and finance
- Teaching
