A fascinating insight into how a humanities degree not only benefits career prospects but paves the way for life-long learning, was delivered to students by Steve Tibble as part of National Careers Week 2023. Dr Tibble, who specialises in medieval history, now writes books on the crusades and has an honorary role at Royal Holloway University. He explained to students how his academic work had benefited his career in strategy and planning in the corporate and financial communications sectors. Before his presentation, he spent time with students, Deputy Head (Academic) Andrew Reeve and Head of History Chris Coles and signed copies of two of his books for the History Department.
