What do Graduates do?

Destination of Leavers of Higher Education Survey 

Every year the Careers & Employment Service conduct a survey on behalf of HESA to find out what it's graduates are doing six months after they have graduated.  Not all leavers are surveyed as HESA prescribes a set of rules which institutions must follow.  However the survey is extensive with most of the information coming from the leavers themselves and it is therefore a reliable picture of what they are doing at that point in time.  The target response rate for full-time UK leavers is 80% and the University of Northumbria has consistently met this target.  It is from the full-time UK leavers that the data below is taken.

The returned data is published by HESA for individual institutions and these figures can be found on the Unistats website.

See online for how the data collected is used or visit the HESA website for details of the data protection notice and the HESA statistics.
