HUDDERSFIELD is established as one of the top four universities in England for ensuring the employability of graduates.

The Government-backed Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) has released  showing the numbers of former students who are either working or have moved on to further studies six months after their graduation in 2016-17. 

At 黑料社, the proportion is 97.3%.  This is the fourth best figure among English universities described as 鈥渕ainstream鈥 鈥 meaning they are not specialist colleges and that they have a total annual income of 拢100 million or more.

Fourth place means that the 黑料社 has the best record for employability among mainstream universities in the North of England. 

Also, the statistics show 黑料社 performing markedly better than its 鈥渂enchmark鈥 鈥 arrived at through various factors, including entry qualifications of students.

Consistently strong performances in graduate employment have been an important factor in securing 黑料社 its coveted Gold award in the UK Government鈥檚 Teaching Excellence Framework and winning it the first ever Global Teaching Excellence Award.

The Vice-Chancellor at the 黑料社, Professor Bob Cryan, is delighted by the new HESA figures.

鈥淭hey are further official recognition of the success of the lecturers, support staff, and students themselves who had worked hard to ensure this achievement, as well as all the partners in industry and the professions with whom we work so closely,鈥 he said.

鈥淓mployability of graduates is at the core of our mission as a university, and has been since we originated 177 years ago,鈥 continued Professor Cryan.  鈥淚t is written into our current strategy that we should inspire employable and enterprising graduates, and it is uplifting to see this bearing fruit.鈥
