University still scoring high for employability

A UK student survey has seen Sheffield Hallam University maintain its top spot for employability for a second year running, whilst also sealing first place for careers advice from academics, the low cost of its accommodation, international student support and research activity.

Sheffield Hallam came first out of 22 UK Universities in five categories from last Autumn’s Student Barometer Survey, with 93.5 per cent of students satisfied that the learning they undertake at the university will help them get a good job when they graduate.

The University also came first for students’ satisfied with the opportunities to earn money while studying, and third for the availability of financial support.

The Student Barometer survey is administered by the International Graduate Insight Group (i-graduate), and tracks the opinions of students at higher education institutions at 22 of the UK’s universities. Results are from the latest survey which tracked opinions in autumn 2013.
