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.
