Bangor University graduates are beating the national trend when it comes to finding work

The results come at a time when national headlines have highlighted the challenges many graduates face in securing work. While graduate outcomes have declined at many universities across the UK, Bangor graduates are bucking the national trend, with more students progressing into employment, further study and high-skilled careers.

The findings reflect Bangor University's focus on equipping students with the knowledge, practical skills and experiences that help them transition successfully into employment or further study.

For prospective students considering their university options, the latest results offer reassurance that a Bangor education provides the knowledge, skills and experiences valued by employers and supports graduates in taking their next steps with confidence.
One graduate who has already benefited is Rhodri Williams, who completed his degree in 2024 and now works as a Cybersecurity Consultant and ISO Standards Consultant at Eryri Consulting Limited.

He said: "My experience at Bangor University was extremely positive. The staff were highly supportive and knowledgeable. I had the opportunity to take part in experiences that would not have been possible beyond the University, including joining unique and engaging student societies. I was treasurer of the Sub Aqua Group for one year and thoroughly enjoyed the experience."

Professor Nichola Callow, Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Education & Student Experience), said: "Choosing a university is one of the biggest decisions an individual can make, so it's encouraging to see these results demonstrate the value of a Bangor education. We want every student to leave with the confidence, skills and experience to achieve their ambitions, whether that's starting a career, continuing their studies or pursuing professional qualifications."
