Originally published in 1992, this book was the first to gather together the view of industrialists, teachers and researchers. It focusses on the skills dimension of arts graduates which carry significant implication for all undergraduate programmes. It examines how the humanities and the world of work interact and how the relationship might be shaped in the future as the United Kingdom moved rapidly to a system of mass higher education. This book will be of use to all those responsible for enabling the new graduate of whatever subject to develop their skills and marketability to the full.
