Options for CAS students
Graduates leave with a variety of transferable skills, including Spanish, and have enjoyed success in a wide range of fields, including marketing, business, politics, recruitment, the media and public service. The year abroad encourages you to think more broadly about careers, employers welcome the student’s experience of a year in the Americas and the maturity of the graduates and the destinations statistics support this.
The numbers of graduates working or studying after graduation has doubled in the past year, the positive outcome now 95%. Graduates quickly establish themselves in employment or further study.
