Employment Opportunities
Over the past few decades, graduates of the course have embarked on a wide variety of successful careers. Some have joined the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, or international scientific or welfare agencies. Others have entered large business concerns based in the City or in East Asia. Others have become journalists, widely read for their reports on current events in the People's Republic of China. Others have become teachers in Britain, North America, Hong Kong, Japan and Europe. Still others have joined the staffs of major museums and libraries. One even runs a successful travel agency that specialises in China tours. Very few graduates have set aside Chinese to take up work unrelated to China; they have preferred instead to employ the skills learned in the Cambridge course for distinctive and highly rewarding careers.
