Your future - research postgraduates

We have a reputation for producing postgraduates at the forefront of their fields, and a PhD from Leeds can be the way into a career in academia or the business world. 

Where are they now?

We like to keep up-to-date with our research students after they have qualified to find out how they are getting on. 94% of last year's students who gave us feedback were either working or in further education six months after they graduated.

This impressive statistic rises to 100% of students in the faculties of Arts, Business, Environment, ESSL (education, social sciences and law), Maths and Physical Sciences, Medicine and Health and Performance and Visual Arts.

Have a look at our 2010 statistics for an idea of where a research degree could take you.

Supporting your future

We can help you market yourself to employers by showing your skills and personal qualities in their best light. And with a wide range of graduate training and support, you will be one step ahead of the competition.

So it's up to you. A bright future inside or outside academia, or why not both? As a postgraduate at the University of Leeds the choice is yours.
