Female graduates who pursue entrepreneurship rather than a job after graduating will have more options, according to graduate and undergraduate advice service, Flying Start.
Women graduates are becoming much more aware of the possibilities of becoming company directors of their own firms and Flying Start anticipates the numbers to grow.
As a result of this expansion of females into entrepreneurship, more help and support will inevitably "become more readily available", the firm said.
Female graduates make up the highest percentage of graduates in a variety of degree areas, including art and design and music arts and there have not always been enough jobs available to accommodate all of the graduates within these various disciplines.
In 2005, there were only about 6000 graduate level jobs for art and design graduates in the UK and yet there were 56,000 plus art and design graduates.
This heavy competition within the traditional labour market encourages women to think about establishing their own business start-ups.
Dr Lorna Collins, director of Flying Start, said: "As more students are exposed to entrepreneurship as part of their degree courses and as part of the curriculum, entrepreneurship will be demystified, become more commonplace and help and focused support specifically for women will become more available."
