Half of UK graduates are prepared to move aboard in order to access better career development opportunities, a new report has claimed.
The Trendence Graduate Barometer UK, which surveyed 15,000 UK students, found that some of the best talent in Britain will leave for career development opportunities abroad.
Almost a third of students in the "high potential" category, those in the top 20 per cent of outstanding academic achievement, surveyed by the organisation said they would leave the UK to find positions abroad.
Trendence UK account director Kathryn Callow said: "We're at high risk of losing some of our most talented and hard working students to other countries."
She added that many of the students surveyed are willing to work more than 55 hours per week and want to perform to a high standard in their jobs, but are forced elsewhere in order to access career development opportunities.
The US topped the favoured destinations of graduates, followed by Australia and Canada.
