Known for its history of steel manufacturing, Sheffield's regeneration has brought graduate job opportunities in areas such as construction, finance, IT and distribution.

Career city: Sheffield | Postgraduate study | Local graduate employers | Moving to Sheffield

Redevelopment of the city centre has boosted Sheffield’s already rich cultural heritage, making the service and tourism industry an increasingly popular graduate destination.

While major companies such as Barclays and PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) recruit on an ongoing basis, graduate job-hunters are just as likely to be employed in small to medium sized Sheffield businesses, such as Tech Dept. and Swann Morton.
