Options after your course
One useful starting point for career planning is to look at some of the options that are open to graduates from your discipline. The options with your subject section of the Prospects website outlines how you can use your degree.
However, you may want to explore job roles or sectors that are not linked to your degree and that’s fine as many employers are interested in graduates from any discipline. Employers are interested in the skills and understanding that you have developed during your studies, they value what you have gained and the potential that you offer, and will support you in gaining specific knowledge on the job.
To gather some ideas about the wide-range of career areas previous students from your degree course have gone into visit What do graduates do? This gives the national picture but if you want to look at the career destinations of University of Portsmouth students visit the What do Portsmouth graduates do? (You need to be logged on to the University of Portsmouth Network to access this information).
