Warwick fails to rank in top 150 of Global University Employability Ranking

We also didn’t make it last year


The University of Warwick has failed to feature in the top 150 of this year’s Global University Employability Ranking, which was released on the 16th of November .

The list rates universities across the world based on employability of graduates, using factors such as academic record, professional experience and degree of subject specialisation.

This failure to makes the link comes as a surprise, as the University has claimed that “among UK universities, Warwick is the second most targeted by graduate employers for graduate recruitment programmes.”

In 2014, Warwick ranked in 112th place, but also failed to feature in last year’s top 150.

In response to the ranking, the University commented: “The ranking is likely to be biased towards commercial employment, and will therefore feature many more science only or technical universities and less broad spectrum universities such as Warwick.

“Warwick has large arts faculties and people who chose not to go into industry but go into highly regarded vocational and public sector roles in medicine, law, teaching, academia, further study or research, social work, the civil service etc.”

Other UK universities did better this year, with Cambridge ranking fourth, Oxford ranking seventh and Imperial College London, Manchester, and LSE all ranking in the top 50.
