THE best Scottish city for graduates has been named in a major survey.
Dundee was ranked the fourth-best city in the UK for graduates in the nationwide survey, conducted by price comparison website comparethemarket.com.
The poll weighed up nine different criteria considered by graduates when determining where to move after university, including the price of rent, job opportunities, and the cost of transportation and socialising.
Richard Pool, employer engagement manager at the university’s Careers Service, said: “Dundee is synonymous with providing an exceptional student experience, but surveys like this prove that there is little reason for students to move elsewhere after graduation.
“Dundee is incredibly vibrant and diverse, enjoying all of the advantages of big city life in a more affordable and compact environment.
“It is exciting to think that the education our students receive, and the support we at the careers service provide, is ultimately contributing to the city’s future workforce.”
Earlier this year, a survey conducted by international education provider Oxford Royale, found that Dundee was also the least expensive city for students to live and study in based on living costs.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
