Job prospects

Ninety-five percent of graduates are in employment or further study within six months of leaving university (Graduate Outcomes 2018/19, published in 2021).

UoS offers year in employment placements across many subject areas which gives students the chance to work in an organisation of their choice following their second year of study. Students can also work abroad depending on where the placement is based.

For short-term work experience opportunities, UoS internships are paid, university-approved roles with local and national SME’s, large corporations and public and third sector organisations. These include Rolls-Royce, the NHS, Goldman Sachs, British Airways and so on.

Lasting between two and 12 weeks, each opportunity is carefully selected by the Careers, Employability and Student Enterprise Team to give students the most exciting and valuable experience.

The university also runs a 12-month personalised development programme of intensive career support for first-generation students. Plus, an on-campus start-up accelerator, Future Worlds, and an online Career Hub which enables students and graduates access to online careers tools and 24-hour support from any location around the world.

Students can also benefit from careers fairs and employer-led workshops, for opportunities to network with top employers. There are also alumni career panel events, which give current students advice from those who have already been through the same path.
