Times Top 100 Graduate Employers

The Times Top 100 Graduate Employers is the definitive annual guide to Britain’s most sought-after and prestigious graduate employers.

The new Top 100 employer rankings for 2023-2024 have been compiled from interviews with over 13,000 graduates who left university in 2023, who were asked "Which employer do you think offers the best opportunities for graduates?". But which organisation has been voted Britain's top graduate employer for 2023? Who are this year’s highest-climbers and which of the country’s leading graduate employers are new entries in the latest Top 100?

The digital edition of The Times Top 100 Graduate Employers book is online now and copies of the printed hard-backed book can be purchased for £19.99, exclusively from Waterstones.
