Graduate Destinations
Each year, universities collect information from graduates and
other leavers from Higher Education about what their employment
status is six months after leaving. This is known as the
'Destinations of Leavers from Higher Education' or DLHE Survey.
For those graduating or completing their course in the
summer, the census or survey date is in early to mid January of the
following year.
The information collected is sent to the Higher Education
Statistical Agency (HESA) in an encoded form and is used,
amongst other things, to inform government policy on the
future of Higher Education.
The information provides a snapshot of what leavers were doing 6
months or so beyond graduation, and it should be noted that there
are a range of factors which influence the data, such as the
economy and job availability.
