Explore Careers in... Creative and Culture 

Internships, placements, and graduate jobs in the creative and cultures sector are very popular among Reading students – and for good reason! It’s an interesting and often rewarding area of work and could take you into industries you’d never thought you’d work in. 

Careers and roles in this sector are wide ranging, from freelance opportunities in both FTT (film, television and theatre) and Healthcare, to positions in national museums and production companies large and small, providing the opportunity to use your creative flair, to help and support others, and your ability to influence and communicate effectively across media and broadcasting channels. 

To help you start to explore this varied sector and gain insight into the career paths of both “young” and established professionals, we are excited to welcome you to join us and our guests for the Explore careers in Creative and Culture week.
