Are Liberal Arts grads valued by employers?
I’m thinking about studying Liberal Arts, but I’m unsure how employers in the UK really view it after graduation. Did you find it hard to get work, and do you feel the degree is properly valued against more specific degrees? 😊

All graduates have 'higher thinking skills' and its this that employers value, not the actual subject knowledge. If you have a 2i or a First and you have done more at Uni than just study, and especially if you have done any sort of work experience or study abroad, or have an obvious skill like a language, you will be in a good place for graduate jobs, don't worry.
