The DLHE survey is conducted 6 months after graduation.
Throughout their degree, students are encouraged and supported to develop a broad range of transferable skills, particularly in relation to verbal and written communication skills. They also develop organisational skills, time management, analysis and interpretation of information, the ability to work independently, think critically and develop opinions, and IT skills. These transferable skills can be used in a range of career areas. Graduates who have gone straight into employment are using such transferable skills in a wide variety of occupations including charity worker, police officer, logistics manager and PR accounts executive. In common with humanities students in general, a significant percentage of students (29% including those combining work and study) have gone onto further study, which is consistent with previous year’s destinations. A high proportion are pursuing vocational courses including teaching, journalism, and law; undertaking vocationally orientated postgraduate courses remains a popular choice for humanities graduates in general.
