Former students from the faculty regularly feature in news articles and many have contributed to the success of the school by going on to perform outstandingly well in industry, academia and the public sector.
There is also a high proportion who have revisited the school to advise on course and module development and to offer support with mentoring current students and work placements.
Each year the university carries out a destination survey which investigates and analyses the numbers of the university’s graduates entering employment or further study, six months after completing their course. Last year 90 per cent of graduates from the University of Brighton had entered employment or further study.
A second destination survey is done after three-and-a-half years and the last survey carried out in 2010 showed that 96 per cent of the university’s graduates were employed or undertaking further study, with over 75 per cent working at ‘graduate level’ i.e. undertaking work requiring degree-level skills and understanding.
A recent analysis found that the vast majority of the school's alumni are now employed in senior positions in industry and academia. In fact, our alumni are employed in a wide range of positions with organisations based in over 100 countries worldwide.
