Ashley Stuart Profile

"With an Arts degree you鈥檙e not just learning in a classroom. I鈥檝e had real-life work experience in another country, which has helped to shape the career I want to move into. It amazes me when I hear people say BA students don鈥檛 get jobs! I鈥檓 learning so many transferable skills, going out into the workforce and travelling as part of my degree. I think real-world experience is the best education tool you can get. Employers are looking for so much more than a piece of paper now. They want to hear about what you鈥檝e done. I鈥檝e learned so much by travelling and interning. It鈥檚 made me more open minded and helped me focus on what I鈥檓 truly passionate about."
