Choose a career : find out about occupations

We hold a full range of occupational information so that you can research your potential career in detail - head for the blue files in the Information Room. The information in these files will tell you what graduate opportunities exist in a certain field of work, how to get in, typical salaries, and further sources of information and advice.
You can view our catalogue of resources for occupational research and working & studying overseas.
Occupational Profiles are core reading. You can read or print copies of the profiles in the Information Room or view them in the Explore types of jobs section of Prospects.ac.uk. They include links to professional bodies' sites, which are an excellent source of information about your potential career.
Sector Briefings give you an overview of roles within a sector. View them in the Explore job sectors section of Prospects.ac.uk.
