Each year the university carries out a 'first destination' survey with investigates and analyses the employment rate of the university's graduates. The School of the Environment is very well represented in these surveys and the results show that our graduates have a consistently higher rate of employment than the national average.
94% of our graduates are not seeking employment of further training within 6 months of graduation, in comparison to figures from the Higher Education Funding Council of England (HEFCE), which show that on average 72% of all UK university graduates are in employment within 6 months of graduation.
