Career opportunities

Employability is central to everything we do. Our History and English Literature students can take a second-year work experience module, either ‘Making Histories’ or ‘Literature at Work’, which is centred on a six-week work placement. The module looks at the graduate and transferable skills you acquire through studying English, the possibilities of teaching, and encourages students to take up work placements as teaching assistants in schools.

The ‘Making Histories’ module offers you the possibility of a voluntary placement in a local museum, archives or history societies, enabling you to gain valuable transferable skills and produce a portfolio of public history material. Our students have also taken up placements in heritage museums such as the Charles Dickens Museum and the Samuel Johnson House.

As well as working in the huge heritage industry, past students have gone on to careers in teaching, publishing and media, journalism and marketing. For those interested in teaching, all Humanities graduates are guaranteed an interview with our School of Education.
