These 11 UK universities produce the most employable graduates - Debut Despite what people think, students dont go to university just to party. Going to university is seen by young people as a prerequisite to employment. This perception is of course, not entirely true. Industrial placements and apprenticeships are highly, highly useful as well. However, we cant deny it: we go to university because getting that coveted 2:1 degree makes us more employable. But which universities produce the  most employable graduates?  Times Higher Educations just released their annual Global Employability Index, which used two panels of participants from twenty countries. The participants had at least 10 years work experience, and have worked/is currently working at a firm with more than 500 employees. Interestingly, only two UK universities cracked the top 10 global employable universities. They are the University of Cambridge in 4th place, and the University of Oxford in 7th. The dominating country is the United States, with an impressive 37 universities in the ranking. But the United Kingdom boasts 11 universities in the list, which is pretty impressive especially considering the proportional differences in geography. Also interesting is the concentration of London universities on the list. 4 universities out of the 11 are based in the capital city. Surprising or not, this only seems to affirms London as the business hub of the United Kingdom. Without further ado, here are the UK universities which ranked the highest in the Global Employability Index: 11.  University of Nottingham A photo posted by University of Nottingham (@uniofnottingham) on Nov 25, 2016 at 5:47am PST Came in 93rd in the global ranking. 10 University of Birmingham A photo posted by University of Birmingham (@unibirmingham) on Nov 14, 2016 at 4:46am PST Came in 90th in the global ranking. 9.
