Careers support

The Classics department pays special attention to your career development.

We work in close contact with you from the moment you arrive as a first year, and after graduation, and in collaboration with Royal Holloway’s dedicated Careers Service.

In order to enhance your employability and career prospects, we offers a variety of co-curricular activities, specially-designed for Classics students, which include seminars and workshops on the preparation of CVs and interview technique, career fairs and recruitment visits by employers and develop internship schemes.

Some of the areas in which the on-site Careers Service can offer support and advice as you progress through your time at Royal Holloway include:

• how to begin
• see a Careers Adviser - get impartial, practical advice
• explore some career ideas
• what jobs would suit you?
• research sectors
• attend careers events
• facing barriers to work?

And if you are thinking about going on to further study, you are not alone - more than 34 per cent of Classical Studies graduates do so.

• masters courses in Classical and Ancient History at Royal Holloway
• other Masters courses at Royal Holloway
• masters courses elsewhere
• thinking about further study?
• find a PhD.
