27 Aug 2026 · Answered by Sai Sunayan Reddy P · 1 min read
Most UK universities require an IELTS score of 6.0 - 6.5 for undergraduate programs and 6.5 - 7.0 for postgraduate courses. Top universities may ask for 7.0 or higher, sometimes with minimum section scores.
For employment, 87% of graduates (2023/24) were in work or further study after graduation:
- 57% in full-time employment
- 25% in other employment
- 5% in further study
These figures include both domestic and international students, and actual outcomes can vary by field and job market conditions.
Low percentage, study gap or no work experience?
