| Employment Prospects for Graduates | The British economy is comparatively floating at the moment and graduate job prospects are fine. The most recent Association of Graduate Recruiters survey found that the average starting salaries for graduates from UK universities had increased by the highest level.
Development areas where graduates are finding employment in the UK comprise financial services, IT, engineering and construction. On the other hand, employer requirement for qualified graduates in the chemical and pharmaceutical, public sector and law areas is relatively low.
MBA programs are becoming particularly popular in the UK. There are hundreds of MBA courses obtainable, and a lot of universities have straight relations with local business community opening up employment and networking opportunities for graduates. Flexible timetables and distance learning can give students a good opportunity to continue their working while studying for an MBA.
EU students who qualify from UK universities are free to take up work in the UK. Students from non-EU countries may be expected to go back home after graduation, and would have to apply for a work permit if they wish to stay in the UK. The graduate qualification from a UK institution does not give the right a student to a work in this country without permission.
UK graduate qualifications are officially accredited and are usually recognised internationally. The UK higher-level sector has a good reputation so a graduate qualification may be useful when looking for employment.
