REVEALED | Which degrees do employers want grads to have?

New research from money.co.uk has revealed the degrees which are the most sought-after by employers in the UK – with engineering (76,838 job adverts) and business (36,906 job adverts) topping the list.

The data set – which analysed more than one million job adverts between 2019 and 2020 – found that design, marketing and computer science degrees also ranked highly on the list.

Engineering ranked top as the most in-demand degree in the UK. Last year alone, 76,838 job adverts listed an ‘engineering degree’ in the job specification.

Danny Aldridge, Co-Founder of recruitment website Check-a-Salary, said that the increase for IT and maths-related degrees illustrates the importance of the sector to the UK jobs market.
