The number of students on this course is so small that statistics are not meaningful. Many students go on to further academic study, while others use the skills they have gained in a wide variety of destinations. The department runs a number of activities in close cooperation with the Careers Service, including an annual careers conference, CV workshops and visits from many employers. The course also has strong engagement with industrial partners.
