Succeed in your career
The best possible start to your chosen career
With so many world-class degrees on offer in the UK, it’s easy to see why we’re the best possible place for you to study. But did you know we’re also the best place to prepare for your chosen career?
That’s because a UK degree gives you more than just an outstanding academic qualification. It can also provide you with valuable work placements, and all as part of your studies.
These placements, internships and volunteering positions are designed for you to build new skills, make new contacts and apply your learning in a real-world, professional environment. And as UK universities have such strong links with every type of industry (from engineering to fashion to science and more) you’re sure to find a placement that’s right for you.
It’s another reason why UK graduates are among the most employable in the entire world, and why they’re earning more and progressing further than their peers educated elsewhere. And it’s why a UK degree can help you to really stand out in an increasingly competitive jobs market.
And don't forget that you can now apply to stay in the UK for two years after your studies finish, through the new Graduate Route . This means you'll be able to take the next step in your career, right here in the UK.
