Sam Rowlands, Member of the Welsh Parliament for Fflint Wrecsam is delighted with the number of students finding jobs after finishing their degrees at Wrexham University.
Mr Rowlands, Welsh Conservative spokesperson for Education and Families was commenting after it was revealed that 75% of Wrexham University graduates are in skilled employment following their degree.
He said:
I am absolutely delighted to hear that so many students are successfully finding jobs after gaining their degrees at Wrexham University.
We all know from past awards that the university is a popular place for students to study and is highly regarded for its teaching in several subjects.
Congratulations must go to everyone at Wrexham University for all their hard work and for continuing to put the place firmly on the higher education map.
Recent data from the UK Graduate Outcomes Survey, which surveyed the 23/24 cohort of UK graduates, revealed that 75% of Wrexham University graduates are now in high-skilled employment, rising to 80% for postgraduates.
The survey, run by HESA (Higher Education Statistics Agency), gathered results from 353,755 people across the UK 15 months following their graduation.
Results from Wrexham University’s graduates reveal the majority are now in ‘high-skilled’ roles in areas including health care, engineering, policing, the legal sector, education, and civil service.
Deputy Vice-Chancellor of Wrexham University, Paul Davies, said:
We know that finding good quality work in your chosen field can be challenging, which is why employability is firmly embedded throughout the student experience at Wrexham University.
Our courses are designed in partnership with industry and focused on developing the skills, knowledge and practical experience employers are looking for to give students the best possible opportunity to move straight into employment when they graduate.
We're delighted that the latest Graduate Outcomes Survey shows that 75% of our graduates are in high-skilled employment, rising to 80% of postgraduates. These results reflect the hard work of our students, staff and employer partners, and demonstrate the real value of a Wrexham University degree in preparing graduates for successful careers.

Mae Sam Rowlands, AS Fflint Wrecsam, wrth ei fodd gyda'r nifer o fyfyrwyr sy'n dod o hyd i swyddi ar ôl gorffen eu graddau ym Mhrifysgol Wrecsam.
Roedd Mr Rowlands, llefarydd y Ceidwadwyr Cymreig dros Addysg a Theuluoedd, yn gwneud sylwadau ar ôl clywed bod 75% o raddedigion Prifysgol Wrecsam yn cael swyddi crefftus ar ôl graddio.
Meddai:
Rwy'n falch iawn o glywed bod cymaint o fyfyrwyr yn llwyddo i ddod o hyd i swyddi ar ôl graddio o Brifysgol Wrecsam.
Rydyn ni i gyd yn gwybod o wobrau'r gorffennol bod y brifysgol yn lle poblogaidd i fyfyrwyr astudio ac yn uchel ei pharch am ei haddysg mewn sawl pwnc.
Llongyfarchiadau i bawb ym Mhrifysgol Wrecsam am eu holl waith caled ac am barhau i hoelio'r sefydliad ar y map addysg uwch.
Datgelodd data diweddar o Arolwg Canlyniadau Graddedigion y DU, a arolygodd carfan 23/24 o raddedigion y DU, fod 75% o raddedigion Prifysgol Wrecsam bellach mewn swyddi crefftus, gan godi i 80% ar gyfer ôl-raddedigion.
Casglodd yr arolwg, a gynhaliwyd gan HESA (yr Asiantaeth Ystadegau Addysg Uwch), ganlyniadau 353,755 o bobl ledled y DU 15 mis ar ôl iddyn nhw raddio.
Mae canlyniadau graddedigion Prifysgol Wrecsam yn datgelu bod y mwyafrif bellach mewn swyddi 'crefftus' mewn meysydd gan gynnwys gofal iechyd, peirianneg, plismona, y sector cyfreithiol, addysg a'r gwasanaeth sifil.
Dywedodd Dirprwy Is-Ganghellor Prifysgol Wrecsam, Paul Davies:
Rydyn ni’n gwybod bod dod o hyd i swydd o ansawdd da yn eich maes yn gallu bod yn her, a dyna pam mae cyflogadwyedd wedi'i hymwreiddio'n gadarn ym mhrofiad myfyrwyr ym Mhrifysgol Wrecsam.
Mae ein cyrsiau wedi'u llunio mewn partneriaeth â diwydiant ac yn canolbwyntio ar ddatblygu'r sgiliau, yr wybodaeth a'r profiad ymarferol mae cyflogwyr yn chwilio amdanyn nhw i roi'r cyfle gorau posibl i fyfyrwyr symud yn syth i gyflogaeth pan fyddant yn graddio.
Rydyn ni wrth ein bodd bod yr Arolwg Canlyniadau Graddedigion diweddaraf yn dangos bod 75% o'n graddedigion mewn swyddi crefftus, gan godi i 80% ar gyfer ôl-raddedigion. Mae'r canlyniadau hyn yn adlewyrchu gwaith caled ein myfyrwyr, staff a chyflogwyr, ac yn dangos gwir werth gradd Prifysgol Wrecsam wrth baratoi graddedigion ar gyfer gyrfaoedd llwyddiannus.
