Discover – What can I do with my degree?

You could begin by researching career areas which are directly related to your degree, such as psychological wellbeing practitioner, counsellor, or education mental health practitioner. There are a large variety of positions in professions related to wellbeing, and new roles are being created regularly in this expanding sector. If you want to move away from this type of work, you could also explore careers that don’t relate so directly to your degree, using the experience and transferrable skills that you have developed. Did you know that over 80% of graduate employers will recruit from any degree subject?
