UCL retains place in global top 20 for job outcomes

UCL has once again been ranked among the top 20 universities in the world for the employability of its graduates in the latest QS global rankings of 660 institutions. The university is ranked 18th in the world, placing it in the top 4% of institutions worldwide. Just two other UK universities (Oxford and Cambridge) have made it into the global top 20 alongside UCL. The 2019 QS Employability Rankings, published today, compare globally the employability outcomes of higher education institutions. The findings assess university success in four areas: how reputed they are among employers; whether institutions nurture high-achievers; how connected they are to companies; and how attractive a university's recent graduates are to employers. The QS Employability Rankings are produced in partnership with the Institute of Student Recruiters. They also reveal the latest insight into the most prominent skills gaps worldwide, as well as how different recruitment priorities affect employer satisfaction, examining the role universities play in preparing graduates for the labour market.
