Creative Careers

Our website is full of all sorts of useful information and advice, including photographs of this year's award winning CVs, and our ever increasing vacancy bulletin Creative Opportunities which now averages 200 jobs and internships, exclusive to this website, each week.

If your students are concerned about the effects of the recession on their prospects, make sure that they don't bury their heads in the sand. Recent research (PDF 76.3Kb) conducted by this department suggests that there are likely to be more internships for fresh graduates than ever. But they will need a good CV, strong networking skills and a creative approach.

Do please contact us if you would like a member of our team to come and tell your students about our services, or you wish to obtain graduate destinations data for your individual courses.
