Why choose Bath
There is a strong demand for Bath graduates from employers, including multinationals and prestigious organisations of all sizes.
The vocational bias of many of the courses, the industrial links, the integrated periods of industrial training and the calibre of the students all contribute towards this.
What Bath graduates do
Each year we survey our graduates to find out what they do in their first year after leaving the University. You can see this information online for first degree graduates.
