Your future

As a University of Leeds graduate your career prospects are bright. Leeds graduates are found world-wide, and many have made major contributions in their field, including two prime ministers (Mongolia and Namibia).

We will help you to make sure you are not just qualified, but a fully rounded, employable graduate. Support such as Leeds for Life will help you organise and develop skills that are important for your time here and beyond. Whether you choose to stay in the UK or return to your home country, you'll be prepared for the world after graduation and get a boost that graduates from other universities don't get.

Jobs in the UK

As an international student there are an increasing number of opportunities for work experience and training, or even for you to get a great job in the UK after you complete your course. You can find out about staying in the UK to work from the International Student Office

The University careers centre plays a key role in ensuring the continued success of Leeds graduates as they move on to employment or further study.
