In brief

Law graduates formed the fourth largest cohort of graduates last year, behind business studies, IT and art and design, according to the latest What Do Graduates Do? 2007 report.

High graduating numbers have not dampened the students’ employment prospects, however, as law graduates enjoy the third lowest unemployment rates among recent graduates, at 4%. Just over a third of law graduates, 34.1%, are undertaking further study or training, while 21.9% are looking to establish a foothold on the career ladder through relevant clerical and secretarial jobs eg at law firms or magistrates’ courts.
