Publishing : Opportunities abroad

What are my chances of getting a job overseas?

The publishing industry is global 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, so chances of getting a job overseas are good.

Will my qualifications be recognised?

UK qualifications are often recognised globally and a UK degree is usually valuable 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, opportunities may exist in other English-speaking countries in particular.

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

Many UK-based jobs in publishing may require a great deal of national and international travel including attending trade fairs and conferences.
