Trinity Laban Employability Stronger Than Ever, Say Latest Government Statistics

15 July 2011

A focus on intensive training, a constantly evolving curriculum and strong professional development support for students during and after their degrees has led to an almost perfect employability rating of 98 percent for Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance in South East London.

The Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) today released the results of the Destination of Leavers in Higher Education survey, showing the proportion of UK undergraduate students who were in employment or further study six months after graduation for 2009-10.

Trinity Laban has been told that 97.6% of its first degree leavers were in employment or study six months after graduation, which is significantly higher than the benchmark of 89.2% set by HESA.

Principal, Professor Anthony Bowne, welcomed the results: "For years, Trinity Laban has consistently scored at the very top for its excellence in getting graduate students into employment or further study, and is one of just a handful of UK higher education institutions to do so.

"This is testament to the fact that our experimental and collaborative approach, with the many performance and networking opportunities offered, as well as the unrivalled professional training, gives Trinity Laban graduates the best possible start to fulfilling and exciting musical and dance careers."
