Cardiff graduates among the UK’s most employable

Graduates from Cardiff University are among the most employable in the UK, according to the 2019/20 Graduate Outcomes survey. Published by the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA), the survey shows that 84 percent of Cardiff graduates that were working in the UK were in highly skilled employment - ranking first in Wales for this measure and 18th (out of 130) in the sector. 96 percent of Cardiff's graduates were in employment and/or further study, due to start a new job or course, or doing other activities such as travelling. Cardiff graduates also have the lowest rate of unemployment for any Welsh University. Claire Morgan, Pro Vice-Chancellor, Education and Student Experience said: "We pride ourselves on preparing our students for the world of work. "Through our curriculum design and delivery, placements, excellent links with employers and enterprise and entrepreneurship support, we work hard to give our students the skills they need for whatever path they choose once they graduate." The Graduate Outcomes survey is the biggest annual social survey in the UK. More than 750,000 graduates are invited to take part each year.
