Seeking employment after graduation
Stay on after graduating and you’ll be joining a huge, vibrant
population of ex-students. It’s a community that’s strong-minded
and highly skilled – a higher proportion of graduates live here
than anywhere else in Scotland. This will continue to attract
inward investment into the spheres in which Edinburgh’s residents
live, work and play.

key sectors such as financial services,
