About What do graduates do? 2002

Source of data

Each year, careers advisers at every university and college in the UK contact graduates and diplomates six months after course completion to find out what they are doing. The results of this 'First Destination Survey' are published by the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA). What Do Graduates Do? is based on HESA's results. It is published by The Higher Education Careers Services Unit (CSU) in association with The Association of Graduate Careers Advisory Services (AGCAS) and The Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS).
