The aims of the BA (Liberal Arts) degree place an emphasis on
employability: students are provided with opportunities that should
enable them to be ‘well-equipped for a range of employment
opportunities at graduate level’. Units within the degree
programme on Career and Personal Development, and the opportunities
for work-related learning help to meet this aim. Studying for
a BA (Liberal Arts) degree at St Mary’s will assist you
in developing the core skills and employment-related experiences
that are valued by employers, professional organisations and academic
institutions. There are also further opportunities for the development
of entrepreneurship skills.
Liberal Arts graduates have entered a wide range of employment
situations. Our graduates have found careers in Accountancy, Banking,
Business & Commerce, Charitable Organisations, Journalism,
Leisure & Entertainment, Marketing, Fashion, and the Sports
Industry.
Students graduating with a Liberal Arts degree also enter a range
of post-graduate courses such as post-graduate diplomas, Masters,
Conversion Masters and PGCE courses. The range of post-graduate
courses followed by our graduates includes Masters degrees in
Business Administration, Criminology, English Literary Studies,
European Union Politics, Film and Media Studies and Public Health.
The study of an academic subject and research training within
the BA (Liberal Arts) facilitate such choices.
A small number of students have gone abroad to follow post-graduate
courses (e.g. an MA in Holocaust and Genocide Studies in Holland;
an MA in European Literature in Slovakia) or to take up careers
in international trade and development. |
