Graduate outcomes

EngineeringUK’s research report – Graduate Outcomes – uses the latest data from HESA to explore engineering and technology graduates’ activity 15 months on from graduation.

Top five findings

1. Engineering and technology graduates are more likely to be in work than graduates in other subjects.

2. More than two-thirds of engineering and technology graduates went on to work in engineering and technology jobs, but this is higher for men than women.

3. Graduates working in engineering and technology roles are earning more than graduates in other jobs.

4. Engineering and technology graduates are more likely to think their degree was relevant to their job and feel ‘on track’ with plans for the future.

5. Women, those from a lower socioeconomic background and Black/Black British (Caribbean) young people continue to be underrepresented in engineering and technology degrees.
