Careers
Graduates from our degree programmes go on to pursue a wide variety of careers, but a high proportion of them decide to work in an arts-related field. The visual arts play an increasingly important role in our national economy, and Kent graduates can be found in prominent positions across the art world.

In recent years graduates have found jobs with large art businesses like Christie’s and Sotheby’s, in smaller commercial galleries, in museum education departments, with the British Council, or working for magazines. Every year several graduates go on to further postgraduate study. As a department we remain committed to our students beyond graduation and do all that we can to help them in pursuing their ambitions.
