I am now working in environmental sustainability – having an understanding of the historic landscape, as well as people’s relationships with their environments, has been incredibly helpful.

What you'll take away from Manchester

What you could do after graduation

Since graduation, I have been working in the development sector in Turkey and Bangladesh as an English teacher for Syrian and Rohingya refugees… from academic tutors who helped you beyond their job roles to fellow students who encouraged each other to work hard and do well, I and many alumni will always remember the Archaeology department at Manchester as being the place where our differences were celebrated and in which we felt truly welcomed.
