Destinations of Students Gaining Qualifications from Higher Education Institutions, 2006/07

The bulletin includes data on Welsh domiciled qualifiers and those who studied at Welsh HEIs.  The data included here are taken from the Higher Education Statistics Agency's (HESA) 2006/07 Destinations of Leavers from Higher Education (DLHE) record.

The key points from the latest release are:

• Around three-quarters of both Welsh domiciled qualifiers (78 per cent) and qualifiers from Welsh institutions (77 per cent) entered some sort of work. 5 per cent were assumed to be unemployed, with the majority of the remainder entering study only.
• Qualifiers who studied at Welsh HEIs or had a Welsh domicile background were less likely to remain in Wales for employment when compared to other UK countries but are comparable to English regions.
• The proportions entering each destination activity type have shown only small changes over the period 2002/03 to 2006/07.
