Career opportunities

Studying philosophy teaches you to ask penetrating questions and identify flawed arguments – skills integral to many professions, such as law and journalism. You’ll develop many other transferable skills sought by employers, such as creative and critical thinking, problem solving, and the ability to communicate ideas in a structured, productive way.

Employers really value second languages, and students who study languages are better positioned to operate in our increasingly multilingual and multicultural world. As endorsed by the Confederation of British Industry:

“And British business are well aware of the advantages of employees being able to communicate with at least basic proficiency in the language of clients, customers and suppliers.” (CBI 2017)
