Destinations of History Department graduates
King's History graduates go under to pursue successful careers in a very wide range of areas. A high proportion of our undergraduates go on to pursue further study, often staying at King’s to acquire a Masters degree, or moving on to other world leading universities. The civil service, law, journalism, film and broadcasting, finance and education are all popular career destinations.
Our location, in the heart of London, sandwiched between the nation’s financial, political and cultural heartlands, is ideal for exploring career opportunities. We make the most of our location by regularly inviting our alumni back to the Department to network with each other, and to share with our current students their insights on developments and career pathways within their own sector.
Calling all King’s History alumni: please stay in touch!
The Department of History works closely with the King’s alumni relations team to maintain close relationships with our alumni. Every year, usually in the late spring, we hold an alumni lecture on the Strand campus, showcasing recent research by members of the Department. The event includes an update on departmental news, and is followed by a reception in the Department, which is an excellent opportunity to mingle with current members of staff, old friends from student days, and other King’s alumni.
Annual Lecture & Alumni Evening
Every year, the Department of History hosts an evening of lectures by current members of academic staff, followed by a drinks and canape reception. All alumni from the History department are invited to this event, which is also well attended by current students and members of staff.
