If you go to any of these Russell Group unis in 2024 then you’re most likely to be unemployed

Hands up if you scroll Indeed more than you do Insta these days. Because, relatable. The job market is majorly hellish right now for grads. But what’s the situation like specifically for grads from your uni?

Well, results from HESA’s graduate outcome survey show just how likely your uni is to get you a job. The Graduate Outcomes survey is the biggest annual social survey in the UK, which aims to create an understanding of the “graduate perspective and what success looks like following your time in higher education”.

870,295 students were surveyed 15 months after graduating uni as to what they’re up to now and basically, whether they have jobs or not.

Overall, 89 per cent of all grads were in some form of work or further study with 61 per cent in full-time employment, six per cent in full-time further study and 5 per cent unemployed overall.

The uni with the lowest amount of unemployed grads 15 months after leaving is, shock, Oxford with only 2.72 per cent unemployed. This is closely followed by Imperial College London with a 3.01 per cent grad unemployment rate. But at the other end is Queen Mary University of London where 7.53 per cent of students found themselves unemployed 15 months after graduating.

So, these are the Russell Group unis where you’re most likely to end up unemployed:

24. University of Oxford – 2.72 per cent unemployed

23. Imperial College London – 3.01 per cent unemployed

22. Queen’s University Belfast – 3.36 per cent unemployed
