10,000 PhDs Project

Employed and Engaged: Career Outcomes of Our PhD Graduates

We are excited to share the results of the 10,000 PhDs Project, which used Internet searches of open-access data sources such as official university and company websites to determine the current and/or first (2016) employment status of the 10,886 PhDs who graduated from U of T between 2000 and 2015 in all disciplines. The study successfully located 88% of PhD graduates.

Find the employment data categorized by the Coalition for Next Generation Life Science taxonomy –  by sector (page 3) and by job type (page 4).
