Alumni and Careers

Our graduates have gone into journalism, broadcasting and media, publishing, writing and teaching, as well as areas such as banking, project management and marketing.

• 'Reaching Out: Engaging communities in Literature and Creative Writing' module allows students to design and manage an outreach project related to their interests in literature and writing
• 'Employability Office Hours' run by academic staff for students
• Trips to arts and literature organisations such as The British Library, to meet alumni and learn about careers in these sectors.
