Graduate Outcomes success for Warwick Economics students

Our most recent Graduate Outcomes Survey results demonstrate strongly that our graduates continue to do well after graduation. The Times & Sunday Times' Good University Guide 2025, placed the Department of Economics in the top position overall for Economics in the UK, and with the Graduate Prospects score of 93.3% securing our spot in the top 10 for the subject of economics in the UK for graduate employability.

Conducted annually and based on the responses of graduates 15 months after their graduation, Graduate Outcomes collects information related to graduate destinations, including further study and employment.

"It's very pleasing to see that so many of our students are successful in securing graduate level jobs or graduate level study. We will continue to support our students through a range of career enhancing opportunities organised collaboratively between the Department and the central Careers Team, including advice on career choices, meeting employers at career fairs, giving practical sessions on how to improve job applications and networking with our Warwick Economics alumni."
