> As a Philosophy graduate, I support government departments in executing post-18 education policies and often liaise with government legal teams too. During my time at York, I started the University's first student-led social mobility society on campus called [The 93% Club York](https://yusu.org/activities/view/93-club).

Caroline, BA Philosophy.

> I learned so much during my time at York, from analysis and structuring arguments to creative problem-solving. I knew being a lawyer would cater to my desire to learn, and would push me to think outside the box. I graduated with my Philosophy degree and went on to complete a Graduate Diploma in Law.

Lucy, BA Philosophy.
