Enhancing your degree

The careers market is more competitive than ever. Having a good degree isn’t always enough to get the graduate job you want, but at the University of Reading we’ll support you and help you develop the skills and abilities you need to stand out from the crowd, whether that’s through a Joint Degree, a placement, time studying abroad or all three!

Careers and Placements

It’s never too early to think about what you want to do when you leave university, and our Careers team are here to help you. We include placement support and training, as well as career and employability learning, in all our undergraduate courses and offer you a wide range of career schemes and programmes to take part in. There's plenty of support on hand to ensure you can have fun and increase your employability at the same time.

Study Abroad or Learn a Language

Boost your future employability whilst having fun and add variety to your degree course and broaden your horizons. Why not take the chance to go places and experience life in another country by studying abroad? Or, learn a new language during your degree time in Reading. As a student at Reading, you’ll have the chance to study one of 10 languages from beginner to advanced level through our Institution-Wide Language Programme.
