Career opportunities:

Ability in languages is highly regarded by employers across all sectors, including industry and business. Employers value the linguistic, interpersonal, intercultural and professional skills of language graduates.

International businesses need employees who not only speak another language but also understand the history, politics and culture of the region. The international outlook and knowledge our students develop alongside advanced language skills will allow you to consider career options in a range of fields.

Graduates find employment in sectors such as business services, marketing, advertising, management, banking and communications.

Some work as researchers, internet consultants, United Nations translators, in local government, with community groups or in refugee support.
