UL graduates leading the way in jobs market

Employer demand for graduates from the University of Limerick is still powering ahead of all other third-level colleges, UL president Don Barry said yesterday.

Addressing a conferring ceremony at UL, Prof Barry highlighted the continued demand for UL graduates by employers.

He said: “Traditionally, UL’s graduate employment figures trend well above the national average. Despite the challenging environment, UL’s 70% graduate employment rate for 2013 primary degree-holders is now 18% higher than the HEA’s most recently-available national average figure of 52% for 2012.”
