Best universities for graduate jobs: Global University Employability Ranking 2017
Going to college or university isn’t just about preparing you for a career, but choosing the right institution and course can certainly impact on your graduate prospects.
A global employability ranking, designed by HR consultancy Emerging and published exclusively by Times Higher Education, reveals which universities the recruiters at top companies think are the best at preparing students for the workplace.
These 150 universities span 33 different countries, from the US to Japan. Employers voted both for institutions in their own country and universities around the world if they recruit internationally.
In some countries, graduate jobs are not easy to come by, but in European countries such as France, Switzerland and Germany, professional experience is built into degree programmes.
France, Germany and Switzerland are among the best represented countries in the employability ranking, along with the United Kingdom and the United States.
Both Germany and Japan have an institution in the top 10, with Chinese and Canadian universities also appearing high in the ranking.
