Employability Of Durham Students

I personally don't have a job yet, but I still have a year left. I will list some of my friends and their future jobs/current jobs.

Physicist (3 year course, got a 1st) working for HSBC and earning in excess of 40k a year. In his first year.

Physicist (4 year course, on for a good 2:1) summer internship with WatsonWyattWorldwide (consultancy) and subsequent job offer.

Physicist (4 year course, on for a rediculously high 1st) summer internship with Centrica (own British Gas) and subsequent job offer.

Physicist (4 year course, on for an über high 1st) - job offer from acturial firm.

Philosopher had a summer internship with JP Morgan and received a job offer.

And that's just 5 people off the top of my head, I know loads more people with internships and job offers. Hope that answers your question, I can't really be more specific about what each person will be doing as I'm not really into finance and whatnot. :smile:

I reckon Physics has the fewest rahs out of all the departments actually.
But yes, I am obviously a rah. :biggrin:

Ok, Ok, I've remembered some other people I know:

NatSci student (2:1) on Marks and Spencers Graduate Management training scheme.
Maths Student (not sure what grade, probably a hight 2:1/1st) and a Cell Biologist (2:1) on Teach First graduate scheme.

For all the mathmos who don't know what to do apart from Investment Banking/finance - they're desparate for maths teachers, and teach first is a really good scheme.

Their isn't a distinction made on receiving your degree :p:

.

Come to Stockton, the land of milk and honey where we didn't all go to public school! Where we don't all wear shirts/cotton jumpers from Abercrombie & Fitch, and some of us can pull of saying 'geez'! Christ, I even heard they have a working class person in a cage downstairs!

[To any main campus people, only joshing ya! :smile:
