Career opportunities
The University of Manchester is the most targeted by the UK’s largest graduate employers (High Fliers, 2023).
Graduates from this course can apply their research and critical thinking skills in a range of fields. Training in ethnography-based studies is increasingly popular among businesses and organisations as a way of finding out how people - from consumers to employees - interact with their everyday worlds.
Past graduates have succeeded in a range of careers in fields such as:
- academia
- the media and cultural industries
- The Civil Service and public sector
- the business and charity sector
- international humanitarian institutions like the UN
As a 'conversion' course aimed at those who completed their undergraduate studies in another field, this course is ideal if you’re seeking a new career direction.
The University also has its own dedicated Careers Service that you would have full access to as a student and for two years after you graduate.
At Manchester you will have access to a number of opportunities to help boost your employability.
