We have a high graduate employment rate. In July 2011 The Guardian reported that 100% of the Class of 2010 went on to work or further study (Almost 9% unemployed six months on from graduation). According to The Guardian the latest figures show an improvement on 2010 but indicate that the graduate job market has not yet returned to pre-credit crunch levels so we are doubly proud that in a period of economic recession our students bucked the trend.
Our graduates have gone on to further study at most of the world’s leading universities, including Harvard, London, Oxford and Cambridge and secured jobs in senior positions around the world. Among our alumni we have a graduate who became the head of his country’s civil service and one who became a leading Formula One motor-racing driver. Another secured a position as the Minister of Sabah and one female law graduate became the first British lawyer to become a French Advocate.
Quality teaching
We offer high quality, traditional Oxbridge-style teaching, which leads to our degrees being recognised around the world. The standards of degrees and awards are safeguarded by distinguished external examiners – senior academic staff from other universities in the UK - who approve and moderate assessed work.
High calibre staff
Academic staff teach for three terms out of four, with the remaining term used for research purposes. Because of this, we have no difficulty attracting high calibre, highly respected academics, many of whom have a background in business or industry and can offer networking opportunities for students.
Preparation for work
All our degree courses combine academic challenge with the training that will stand you in good stead for future employment. Many of our more vocationally-focused degrees offer the opportunity of work placements and experience in industry.
