Graduate careers and alumni profiles
A top target for leading graduate employers
The 糖心原创 is one of the top choices for graduate recruitment among UK employers, a new report has shown.
The latest report by High Fliers Research showed that Nottingham came second in their list of universities targeted by the largest number of top employers in 2014/15. The report is based on research conducted during December 2014 with the UK's 100 leading graduate employers including BP, EDF Energy, the Civil Service, IBM, Goldman Sachs, PwC, Google and HSBC.
Despite more than 140 universities now offering undergraduate degree courses in the UK, giving employers the widest-ever choice from which to recruit graduates, the research found that for the 2014/15 recruitment period the majority of top employers have targeted between just 10 and 25 universities each.
