What jobs can you do with a Politics and Business degree

Many. Big 4 for example do not care so long as you meet their 2.1 and A-leve/GCSE requirements.

OP I'm a little confused by your thread, but in answer to your question most of the top grad employers don't require a specific degree, and business tends to be well received.

For what it's worth my own history ticks multiple boxes on your list and I'm a business grad.

You're claiming there aren't many jobs available to business graduates? On what basis.

Anecdotal evidence.

If you believe everything you read on the internet and newspapers, you'll never get anywhere in life. Getting a job is about more than your degree, degree is just step 1.

Nothing wrong with Politics and Business. In case you weren't aware, politics is a big part of how an economy operates.

Yeah and incAse you weren't aware politics has ****ed this country up too. No offence but there's plenty of people doing arts/humanities degree so nothing to
Stand them apart from other grads. The end result
Is heaps of rejections and then people post on this forum asking why thy can't find a job - simple answer is poor degree for a start.

You appear to have a chip on your shoulder regarding your opinions on politics, don't tar all students with the same brush. Studying an arts/humanities degree does not equate to the sole reason an individual is unemployable. It may be a contributing factor, but it is not the death sentence you see to think it is.

Heaps of rejections is to be expected, finding a job is an uphill struggle, only a lucky few get an offer within the first 5-10 applications, or did an internship and received an offer at the end.

Degree is only one part of your CV, what else has an individual got to offer? So assume HR sits there with two CVs from the same uni, both have similar A-levels/GCSEs, one studied maths got a first but has virtually nothing else on their CV, and the other did Business Management got a 2.1, worked part-time, joined a uni society and has decent experience. Do you really think they would reject the other guy just because he did business management?

Politics and business from a russel group isn't a weak degree. Anyway, people blame their degree when they can't find a job, but more often than not it's not the title on their piece of paper thats the problem.

Out of interest, what degrees would you recommend? Do you have a degree?

Sorry to bump a old thread

Im in the same position but I tempted to change to Business&Maths because Business&Politics doesnt look like it has great employability

If you wanted to apply for any business/finance analyst job/internships would you have any chance of getting accepted, if most people applying for the same job have economics or any other stronger degrees.
