Listing of professions/ educational programmes in demand

[Sher]

Does anyone know of any study/ranking that lists professions/ educational programmes currently in demand in UK

Thx.

Dont know of any such study for both proffesions or educational programmes currently in demand in the UK.

One idea would be to look at proffesions classified as Tier 1 in Work permits. Tier 1 proffesions are also known as "shortage proffessions" which also amounts to in demand proffesions.

You can refer the above for skill shortage list.

Look at the doctors section of the shortage list. It looks like they have mentioned all the specialisation fields there.

No wonder HSMP applications are processed on a priority for doctors.

Here's a list of the Home Office approved shortages. There are 3 sections, healthcare, engineering and other, this is healthcare but the links to the others are on the page

But u need to pay here

For those who are already in UK, this info might be available in The Times Good University Guide 2005 at a local public library.
BTW, is there a great public library culture in UK like the USA ?

Dont know about the library culture in the USA. In London, there are quite a few public libraries in each area and you can get a membership after showing proof of address.
