Careers
Few other subjects address the very wide breadth of skills and topics covered in an archaeology degree. The academic, laboratory and fieldwork components within the degrees offered by the Institute of Archaeology give graduates a real advantage in developing their careers. At the Institute we aim to give you the best experience throughout your degree, and the best start in your chosen career. Information on the range of careers our recent graduates have gone on to following their degree is available here»
The University of London Careers Service
As a
student of UCL (which is part of the University of London) you are
given support and guidance from your first week as a fresher through to
the day you graduate (and, you can join GradClub on leaving which means
the support continues into your professional life) via the University of London Careers Service.
University College London Careers Service
In adddition, UCL has its own Careers Service which gives up to date information about jobs within UCL / Events and Recruiters and where to find further information on enhancing your skills both within and outside of academia.
Institute of Archaeology Careers Facebook Page
The Institute has created a Facebook page to let students know of Careers events at the University of London and at UCL. Please do feel free to sign up to the group for up-to-date careers information.
UCL and the
University of London have Twitter feeds - which can be viewed
whether or not you are registered on Twitter. The feeds provide current
information on recruitment/careers events and workshops, the majority
of which are free to students.
'Careers In Ruins' Events at the Institute of Archaeology
Each
year the Institute organises a 'Careers in Ruins' event at the
Institute (open to both undergraduate and graduate students) at which
professionals, the majority of whom are Institute alumni, are invited
to talk to the students about how to get a job / further experience
within the Heritage and Archaeology sector as well as exploring work in
different spheres - such as Law, Business, the Civil Service, the Crown
Service. Academic staff are also invited to speak about continuing in
academia with information on masters courses (both at UCL and at other
Universities) and further education as well as becoming a Lecturer in
Archaeology or related subject area. The next 'Careers
In Ruins' event at the Institute of Archaeology will place on 20 March 2013.
Please contact Charlotte Frearson for details of future events.
