You will be challenged and encouraged to become a skilled oral and written communicator, confident in presenting work on your own and as a member of a group.

You will also develop a range of transferable skills including the ability to

• Identify, synthesise, analyse and present information from a wide range of sources
• Critically examine arguments and develop original responses
• Listen, present and debate effectively

Graduate destinations
