Ranked: All 24 Russell Group unis by graduate employment in QS rankings – Queen’s Belfast last

Oxford, Cambridge and the London School of Economics have all achieved a perfect score for graduate employment outcomes in the QS 2027 rankings – while Queen’s University Belfast scored the lowest of any Russell Group university.

Employment Outcomes measures the proportion of graduates in employment within months of leaving university. It’s distinct from Employer Reputation, which tracks which universities employers most value when hiring.

The data is drawn from QS’s own database of graduates, as well institutional and third party survey data where the response rate is over 20 per cent. The former source data measures alumni impact, while the latter goes towards the graduate employment index, defined as the percentage of graduates who go into paid work 15 months after finishing their degree.

The gap between the highest and lowest scoring Russell Group universities is 80 points, highlighting significant variation in how well different institutions prepare students for the job market.
