Graduate Destinations

Each year, every university in the UK contacts all UK and EU graduates to find out what they are doing on a specific date, approximately six months after graduation. This is the Destination of Leavers from Higher Education (DLHE) survey.

The following analysis is based on the data supplied by 11 Electrical and Electronic Engineering BEng Honours graduates from Newcastle University who responded to our survey.

2011 Newcastle University Electrical and Electronic Engineering BEng Honours Graduates

91% went into work, study or a combination of both.

The 9% assumed to be unemployed includes those with jobs arranged to start after the date of this survey.

Of those in employment, 100% were in graduate-level jobs.

£24,833 was the average salary of all of the graduates who supplied us with salary details.

Career Choices

Due to the specialised technical expertise gained at Newcastle University, most Electrical and Electronic Engineering BEng Honours graduates go on to begin careers as engineers. The variety within their roles is considerable: from working in national defence, to renewable energy or for world-renowned automotive companies. As a postgraduate qualification is required for chartered engineer (CEng) status, at BEng level, some choose to undertake specialist postgraduate courses, or secure PhDs in their area of interest.

Below are examples of our 2009-2011 graduates' employment and further study destinations.
