More University of Hull students in graduate level jobs

The latest Student Outcomes report shows Hull outperforming 75 per cent of English universities for students moving into graduate level jobs or further study on completing their degrees.

Following a 6.7 percentage point increase in full-time, first-degree home students taking up graduate level opportunities, Hull is now placed 22nd out of 93 mainstream, non-specialist, universities.

76 per cent of Hull graduates take up degree level roles or else move into post graduate education. The figures also show the University of Hull outperforming the sector average across England for students continuing their courses through to completion.

Welcoming the OfS report, Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Education) Professor John Craig said:

“The University of Hull is committed to delivering excellent educational opportunities, providing the knowledge and skills to transform the lives of individuals and communities across our region and more widely.

“These strong figures show an extremely positive performance with more of our students continuing their courses through to graduation and moving into graduate level jobs or continuing their studies.

“From designing and delivering programmes that meet the needs of students and employers, supporting students from enrolment through to graduation with outstanding teaching and facilities, and engaging with our alumni around the world, these results reflect the hard work, dedication and commitment of our entire community.

“We will continue to work to ensure that excellent outcomes are consistently experienced by all our students, and that our graduates are equipped with the creativity and adaptability to thrive and lead in a rapidly changing world.

“We’re incredibly proud of all our students and staff and we very much welcome these exceptional results.”
