Of course, doctoral study is not the only option available to you. You will graduate with a range of key skills that will stand you in strong stead in a competitive and changing job market. Our MA degree will equip you with skills many employers value: independence of thought; an attention to detail and the capacity to critically analyse evidence; clear communication; the ability to develop an original, rigorous, and persuasive argument.
The heritage and education sectors are two regular employers of our graduates, but there are many more besides. Our recent graduates have gone on to work in a variety of fields, such as:
- Museums, Heritage, and Archives
