What can I do with my degree?

A degree from the University of Leeds opens many doors – regardless of what course you studied, you’ll be employable and you’ll have gained more skills than you even realise!

You don’t necessarily have to follow a career path that is related to your degree.

Many people end up working jobs they’d consider ‘unrelated’ to their degree title, but they’re utilising the skills and interests they developed at university. 

Things like research skills, critical thinking, writing, logic – you’ve learnt so much more than just the topic of your course.

However, a first step for many considering career options is to consider jobs that complement their course or utilise specific skills you will have learnt during your degree.
