The latest report by High Fliers Research showed that Nottingham came 2nd in a list of universities targeted by the largest number of top employers in 2014-2015.
The report is based on research conducted during December 2014 with the UK's 100 leading graduate employers including BP, EDF Energy, the Civil Service, IBM, Goldman Sachs, PwC, Google and HSBC.
Director of careers and employability at the University, Nalayini Thambar says: "I am delighted that the employability of University of Nottingham graduates is once again recognised by the Times Top 100 graduate recruiters. This reflects the quality of our students and the way in which they make the most of the Nottingham student experience to develop their skills and talents for academic and career success. We look forward to welcoming top graduate recruiters to The University of Nottingham throughout 2015."
Despite more than 140 universities now offering undergraduate degree courses in the UK, giving employers the widest-ever choice of higher education institutions from which to recruit graduates, the research found that for the 2014/15 recruitment period the majority of top employers have targeted between just 10 and 25 universities each.
The University of Nottingham encourages and supports students to ensure they have a full-rounded experience whilst studying, which includes participating in work placements. This includes the Nottingham Advantage Award, which enables students to take extra-curricular modules alongside their academic studies, which build skills and experience in areas such as PR, finance and career planning through activities with the university's careers and employability service, widening participation and the students' union.
