Information for prospective students
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 do 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 and for PhD graduates, or pick up a leaflet at a University Open Day.
- You might want to view:
- What do graduates do? to get detailed subject breakdowns of the national data on first degree graduates

- You can also see Options with your subject on Prospects.ac.uk, for information on what you can do with a degree in a particular subject.
- Prospective international students may be interested in reading our International Graduate Case Studies, in which international graduates from Bath talk about their careers and their experiences of finding work, as well as reflecting on their study experience at Bath.
