Diversity of opportunities

Develop a robust understanding of the publishing industry. Our graduates work in the editing and publishing industry for magazines, book presses and literary journals. You can also work in corporate communications, public relations and advertising.

Many of our students are already writing, editing, publishing and producing work – and have strong industry connections – meaning that classes are vibrant, informed and collegial.

All my tutors have been excellent and they've been incredibly generous in sharing their industry experience. Perhaps the subject that most surprised me was Professional Editing – I hadn't planned on choosing it as an elective, but after hearing feedback about the tutor (Bernadette Foley) and the learning outcomes, I did it and can highly recommend it, whether you're interested in a career in editing or not.
