King's amongst most targeted universities by employers in 2025 study
The UK’s largest employers rank King's highly in their graduate recruitment plans a new report has found.
King's continues to hold its position in a new report, published by High Fliers, showcasing the top universities targeted by some of the UK's largest recruiters of graduates, placing 16th nationally and 3rd in London.
The Graduate Market in 2025 study uses data from The Times Top 100 Graduate Employers, which include Accenture, Amazon, Civil Service, Dyson, Goldman Sachs, Microsoft, Morgan Stanley and PwC to determine which campuses are regularly visited by employers.
Whilst King's has never been outside the top 20, its current positioning after a challenging few years for the graduate labour market recognises that employers continue to value the educational and extra-curricular offer at King's and the support provided by King's Careers & Employability, faculties and other departments to enhance student success for our graduates.
Earlier this year, King's Careers & Employability convened nearly 90 employers for an event in Bush House to enable reflection and discussion on key trends across the graduate labour market and early careers talent.
Inviting representatives of the varied employers who have engaged with the University through recruitment, educational or opportunity development initiatives in recent months the event also welcomed academic leadership from across King's faculties and leads across Students & Education, Research Talent, Global Brand & Marketing and Alumni Relations.
Discussing skills, technology advances and the future of work, the Brunch was opened by Vice-Chancellor and President, Professor Shitij Kapur, and enbled guests to engage with senior leadership across the University and hear updates on King’s research, partnerships and strategic initiatives to support careers and employability.
A further Employer Summit is scheduled for May 2026, when we look forward to inviting many more employer and industry partners to explore King's new Strategy 2030, which launches this autumn.
King's graduates are distinguished not just by their knowledge but by their wisdom, character, service ethic and global mindset.
