Graduate Success
At Newcastle, we consistently have one of the best records for graduate employment in the UK:
-
94.3% of our 2010 UK/EU graduates progressed to employment or further study within six months of graduating - this puts us at fifth place in the UK among our peer group of comparator universities
- more than three quarters (78%) of our graduates who entered employment achieved a graduate level position
This track record places us in the top 15 of the major university league tables for graduate career prospects, including The Times Good University Guide, The Sunday Times University Guide, The Complete University Guide, and The Guardian University Guide.
We are also one of the top 20 ‘most targeted’ universities by the UK’s leading employers.
