Dundee University tops graduate jobs rankings in Scotland
More than 6 in 10 students are working in a professional occupation within 15 months
Students leaving Dundee University are more likely to get a graduate job than anywhere else in Scotland.
The Graduate Outcomes survey, published by the Higher Education Statistics Authority (HESA), shows that 64.5% of Dundee graduates were working in professional occupations within 15 months of graduating.
Professor Blair Grubb, Vice-Principal (Education) at the University, said, “We are delighted by this result, which shows that Dundee is one of the top universities in the UK for students looking to work in professional and highly skilled roles after graduation.
“It is our responsibility to our students to ensure that our graduates are as ready for the labour market as possible, both in terms of the qualifications they hold and the way we have helped shape them as confident, free-thinking individuals during their time at Dundee.
“Employability is embedded into everything we do, with academia-industry connections continually being cultivated and strengthened.
"In addition, our sector-leading work in widening access means we are having a transformative impact on the lives of students from the most deprived areas of the country.”
