The Faculty's graduating students of summer 2010 have a higher percentage in employment or further study than
the University average (93% > 87%), and an even smaller figure in unemployment. National data from the Higher

of employment across all subject areas, exceeded only by medical disciplines and law.
The University's Careers Service has expertise in advising modern linguists in their graduate prospects, including a
large range of international opportunities.
