A new report has named the top five cities in the UK for graduates to live and work in, and Newcastle has claimed second spot. Researchers looked at the number of jobs, gender pay gap, rental costs, transportation costs, average starting salary, and even the price of a night out for each city before reaching their conclusion.
The city is home to both Newcastle University and Northumbria University. The research was carried out by FDM and it concluded that Liverpool, Newcastle, Birmingham, Manchester, and Glasgow were the best places to work for graduates.
It commented: "As graduates enter the UK's strongest job market in years, this is an exciting time to start your career. With a significant increase in the number of graduate jobs, there is a lot of opportunity across the country to find your perfect position in many UK cities.
