Research reveals which graduates are most likely to get a job

Education students are the most likely to find a job when they graduate, according to research from the Higher Education Authority (HEA).

Up to 93% of recent education graduates were employed within nine months of finishing their course.

Research from the HEA found that students who studied topics such as literature and philosophy were the least likely to be employed.

Valarie Harvey from the HEA says those who go on to do further study are the most employable.

Ms Harvey said: "The overwhelming majority of all graduates are working and as you move through the levels of educational attainment higher numbers are in employment.

"So we found that 75% of honours degree, 86% of post-graduate taught and 91% of postgraduate research graduates are in employment."
