Publishing : Opportunities abroad

What are my chances of getting a job overseas?

The publishing industry is a global one and opportunities for graduates exist in many countries outside the UK.

Many of the large publishing houses are owned by multinational companies with head offices outside of the UK. They may also have functions around the globe. Chances are therefore good of getting a job overseas.

Will my qualifications be recognised?

UK qualifications are often recognised globally; therefore a UK degree is usually of value when working abroad. UK work experience is also recognised as useful.

Where are the opportunities?

Although most of the work is coordinated from the UK, graduate roles may include some travel or may be based outside of the UK, in other English-speaking countries.

International students and those with knowledge of relevant languages other than English may have an advantage in applying for jobs outside of the UK.
