Careers and graduate opportunities
Fluency in a foreign language and an understanding of foreign cultures is in great demand on the job market. Employers also value the experience, independence and cross-cultural awareness gained during time spent studying abroad, even if you don’t work directly with languages in your job.
As a graduate you’ll have a range of jobs open to you. Potential future career paths for LML graduates could include diplomatic relations, the language or education technology industries, advertising, forensic investigation, speech therapy, data science, teaching, translation, and more.
