The skills you gain through studying English are marketable in most career areas. As English is a non-vocational course, the skills developed outside your study are also vital in developing a well-rounded CV. While at College many English students write for student newspapers and magazines, get involved with student radio or film societies, or volunteer in the community or local schools. Evidence of any skills gained from work experience and extracurricular activities, as well as through study, can help boost your job prospects. Language skills are in demand and can be used in almost any career. Some Modern Language graduates work on a self-employed basis as interpreters or translators. However, many others choose careers not directly related to their subject but where there is the opportunity to use their language skills, for example working for companies who trade or offer services internationally or to non-English speaking customers and suppliers. This means that language graduates work for a huge variety of employers and sectors.
