Top Graduate Employers

These tables have been compiled using data taken from the Annual Survey (2010-11) conducted by the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA). This asked all graduates to supply information about their employment status within six months of leaving university. The Complete University Guide tables include only full-time, first-degree leavers who entered full-time, paid graduate-level employment. Graduates in medicine, dentistry and nursing have been excluded. More detailed notes on the methodology of this study can be found here.
