Graduates from the Department are well prepared for careers in both the private and public sectors and also for professional training in areas such as law, accountancy and management.  Careers our graduates have chosen have included the Civil Service, accountancy, management, journalism, broadcasting, computing, teaching, and politics and diplomacy themselves. 

A substantial number of our graduates go on to further their study, entering postgraduate programmes, both at Royal Holloway itself or in other prestigious higher education institutions at home and abroad. 

The Department offers Masters degrees in a wide range of areas.  Following Master's study, the option is then open to proceed to a research degree.
