For your future
Everyone who comes to Oxford has the chance to build an exciting future. Studying at Oxford is just the beginning of a lifetime of opportunity, both personal and professional, and you will have a choice of interesting careers or further study options when you finish.
Even while studying, you will have lots of opportunities to build your skills, get work experience or develop entrepreneurial ideas. Students here can gain an impressive skill set that is highly sought after by employers from many different areas.
One thing I didn’t expect at Oxford is the amazing Careers Service – I’ve used it several times for help with my CV, applying for internships and other schemes. There are so many internships to apply for – they’re really diverse. The Careers Service is amazing for giving you experiences and chances to develop your skills.

I contacted the Careers Service because I found an internship that I thought looked really interesting. So I scheduled an appointment – I was quite nervous to go to it, but the careers advisor was so nice and helpful, all the feedback on my CV was so constructive. It made me feel a lot more calm and relaxed about the application process.

SUPPORTING YOUR FUTURE CAREER
Around a quarter of Oxford graduates go on to further study after their undergraduate degrees, the rest explore careers from a huge range of different sectors. While studying, you will have the opportunities to explore your future career, as well as the chance to build employability skills.
EXPLORING YOUR OPTIONS
Oxford students have access to hundreds of exclusive internships, including funded summer work placements in the UK and abroad, as well as shorter, week-long internships in the vacation periods. This means you can explore different areas and work for world-leading organisations even before you have finished your degree. You can also develop entrepreneurial ideas, for example, if you want to set up your own social enterprise, then Oxford can help you get started.
ADVICE FOR THE FUTURE
Our Careers Service provides students with tailored support with their career goals, both before and after they have graduated. Oxford graduates form a global community. There are currently over 160 alumni groups who meet across the world. As an Oxford graduate you will become a member of this global network for life.
