University of Surrey graduates recognised as amongst the most employable in the UK
Surrey has an outstanding record for graduate employability.
The Graduate Outcomes 2024 survey, published by the UK’s Higher Education Standards Agency (HESA), found that 95% of Surrey's students find work or go on to further study after graduating (UK domiciled, undergraduate full-time students).
Further analysis shows the proportion of Surrey’s UK-resident, full-time student graduates finding higher-skilled work ranks our graduates 12th in the UK and 2nd in the South East, behind only the University of Oxford.
