This is list of top 12 courses in the UK that can land you a job quickly after graduation as compiled by the Telegraph,UK
.
12. Business & administrative studies
Turns out you don't need need to win The Apprentice to forge a career in the
City - for 85 per cent of graduates, a business degree did just as well (or
better, in the case of some of Lord Sugar's winners).
11. Architecture, building and planning
"The skies of London are busy with cranes that froze or disappeared in 2008," according
to Mayor of London and Telegraph columnist Boris Johnson. And here's
more good news for architecture students - 85.2 per cent had found
jobs or further study within six months of graduation
10. Historical & philosophical studies
A perhaps surprising inclusion in the top 10 is historical and philosophical studies graduates, 85.4 per cent of
whom had landed jobs or further studies within six months of
finishing their degrees. However, that's down from 90 per cent the
previous year - a golden era for historians, seemingly.
They still beat students of subjects which failed to make the list including physics and computer science.
9. Engineering
Experts everywhere have been making robust predictions for the growth of "Stem" jobs (science,
technology, engineering and maths) - and so far they don't seem to be
wrong. Engineering graduates performed well in the job market last
year, with 85.4 per cent landing either a job or further education
within six months.
8. Languages
Much as we Brits hate to admit it, the
ability to speak another language is a highly sought-after skill in
the job market these days – and 86 per cent of 2011/12 language graduates have the jobs to prove it.
7. Mathematical sciences
Mathematicians are
clearly in demand – 86.5 per cent had landed jobs or further education
positions within 6 months of 2011/12 graduation. Let's just hope
their skills are being employed to better effect than tweaking Libor
rates or inventing impossibly complex financial derivatives.
6. Biological sciences
Studying biological sciences
isn't all about field trips chasing elephants around the savannahs.
Some 87.1 per cent of recent graduates have walked into jobs or more
studies, with biotech and other related industries currently booming.
5. Law
If there's one degree choice which has
always been seen as a near-guarantee of well-paid employment it has to
be law. That appears as true today as ever, with 88.6 per cent of
2011/12's law graduates finding themselves work or study - although
it is worth noting that around half of these went into some form of
further study.
4. Subjects allied to medicine
This broad category
encompasses degrees such as biomedical science and neurology. Across
the spectrum an impressive 91.8 per cent of students were able to quickly find work.
3. Veterinary science
Treated as a separate subject
from medicine and dentistry by the bods at HESA this year, veterinary
science still holds its own in the employment stakes, with 91.9 per
cent in either work or study six months after graduation.
In
fact, purely in terms of employment it ranks second, with 85 per cent of
grads finding work immediately in the UK, and another 3 per cent
finding employment overseas.
2. Education
Whatever you think of Michael Gove's
reforms, this statistic seems to show how much we still need teachers
– 92.6 per cent of all those leaving university with degrees relating
to education picked up work or further study right away.
Some 15 per cent were in either part- or full-time study, and just one per cent were working overseas.
1. Medicine & dentistry
A predictable number one, but the margin is still remarkable. A massive 99.4 per cent of
all students graduating in medicine or dentistry landed themselves
jobs or further study within six months of graduating. 92 per cent
went straight into work in the UK.
Surprisingly, relatively few
of these new doctors found their jobs in Australia: just 15 of the
7,095 graduates who replied to the survey were working abroad -
exactly the same number as were unemployed.
