NTU’s Class of 2018 well sought after and earn higher salaries

Fresh graduates from the Class of 2018 at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) are well sought after by employers and earn more than their 2017 seniors. 90 per cent of NTU Class of 2018 graduates in the labour force found a job within six months after completing their final examinations, higher than 87 per cent in the previous year. The proportion of graduates in the labour force who obtained full-time permanent employment also increased from 76 per cent in 2017 to 82 per cent in 2018.

Professor Tan Ooi Kiang, NTU’s Associate Provost (Undergraduate Education) said, “This year’s Graduate Employment Survey shows that employers continue to value our graduates who bring highly relevant skills to the global workplace. Our graduates possess real-world experience in and out of the classroom, including international exposure, overseas exchanges and internships that give them the confidence and competence to perform well. This is why our graduates’ employability remains high and their starting salaries have also increased.
