Business School
Although a degree in business may seem to have obvious connections when considering your career options, the fact that you have such a range of opportunity may make it difficult to know where to start. The information on these pages aims to provide a starting point with links to more in depth information on what do with your degree. After doing some research; if you are still unsure about what you want to do next then have a look at our 6 Step Careers Guide or come to see a careers advisor.
What Skills Have I Gained
In order to present yourself in the best possible way, it is important to understand the skills you have develop alongside your theoretical knowledge. See the information about skills development and transferable skills in the Applying for a Job section
To help you consider these skills, the Higher Education Academy has provided a guide to each subject, outlining the skills used during your degree. Look for the 'skills' sections - they will help you focus on the skills (rather than knowledge) gained from your degree: QAA business degrees skill benchmarks
