Careers in European Studies

Where could it take you?

As a European Studies (German Pathway) BA graduate, you’ll possess a level of language skills and an understanding of culture that is sufficient for a German-speaking role. In fact, some graduates have completed placements in media companies within Europe.

You’ll also develop analytical and presentational skills that employers value, and can be applied to a number of roles.

Some have worked as far afield as Bosnia and Japan.
