Career outcomes

Information provided by our Careers and Employability Service. Keith, our Careers Adviser for 3D Design, says:Coatstand entitled 'strange behaviour' by Lorna Wilby "Design graduates can find it takes time to become established. Two factors that are crucial to your success are thoroughly researching your chosen career area, and making contacts through networking. "A report on the long term career paths of art and design graduates indicated that almost a third of the respondents who have graduated from 3D Design courses have done some teaching or lecturing. Also, that Three Dimensional Design graduates are the most likely to have been self employed at some stage since graduating. Whilst a high proportion had been in full time employment at some point, this can be a competitive profession."
