It enjoys a strong academic reputation internationally, particularly in the fields of Architecture, Business, Sport Science, Engineering and Psychology/Sociology, and employment rates for graduates are higher than average — a result of the work placements offered with every degree course and its emphasis on practical, ‘real life’ skills that employers value.
