We run a series of competitive, paid<br />

internships for graduates. We have had<br />

internships at Penguin, Myriad Publishing,<br />

Chawton House Library, a research centre<br />

for 18th Century Women’s Writing, and at<br />

the international journal Short Fiction in<br />

Theory and Practice. We also have<br />

opportunities for students to study abroad<br />

through the Erasmus scheme in Europe, or<br />

through our link with Thompson Rivers<br />

University in British Columbia, Canada.<br />

Our students go on to careers in teaching<br />

(after taking a PGCE), publishing, journalism,<br />

arts event management, university<br />

administration, heritage and tourism,<br />

accountancy, working with charities,<br />

consultancy, teaching English as a foreign<br />

language, and graphic design. Many of our<br />

students choose to continue in higher<br />

education, and we offer programmes at MA<br />

level in Creative Writing, and at PhD level in<br />

Critical Studies, and also in Creative Writing.<br />

“I found the English course at Chichester<br />

inspiring and the staff extremely<br />

passionate. I was apprehensive before<br />

starting, that I would struggle<br />

academically, especially as I was the first<br />

in my family to undertake a degree but<br />

the staff were so supportive and this only<br />

helped boost my confidence enabling me<br />

to walk straight into a job after<br />

graduating”.<br />
