Careers
Nottingham students make use of the well equipped Centre for Career Development
The University of Nottingham has one of the highest records for successful graduate employment in the country, and is held in the highest regard amongst recruiters from numerous top companies.
The University's Careers and Employability Service offers excellent support and guidance and greatly assists our students to make the transition to the next stage of their careers after graduation. In addition to this, members of staff from the School are always on hand to offer advice and assistance with the creation of your CV and the completion of application forms.
Graduates of the School of Cultures, Languages and Area Studies are in high demand from prospective employers, and there is a very diverse range of career opportunities open to you. Over 80% of our students graduate with 2:1 or better and those who enter into full-time employment directly after graduation can expect an average starting salary of £18,571, and many find work abroad.
Rather than directly entering into full or part-time employment, our graduates are increasingly going on to continue with their studies at higher degree level, with around 15% undertaking a research or vocational degree course either at Nottingham or elsewhere.

-
Deloitte et Touche
