Around 53% of graduates were working in the private sector, 20% in the public sector and 6% at non-government organisations.
The careers service at the university’s Centre for Higher Education and Development said the results of its survey were supported by the Quacquarelli Symonds graduate employability rankings, which put UCT top in Africa and 18th in the world.
Almost 4,800 students took part in the UCT survey during the June 2018 to April 2019 graduation season. Just over 23% of students were earning between R20,000 and R30,000, 16.14% between R15,001 and R20,000, and 5.21% between R5,001 and R7 000.
