The Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) has today published data on what graduates of 2021 were doing 15 months after graduating.
This group graduated during the Covid-19 pandemic, with the data showing what they were doing after lockdown restrictions were lifted.
Despite these graduates facing significant challenges, today’s data shows higher education continues to provide good outcomes, and graduates view their outcomes positively.
This comes at a time when there is much interest in the benefits and outcomes of degrees.
In England, the Office for Students (OfS) has recently started regulating the quality of higher education, largely informed by measures of completion, continuation and progression to high-skilled employment.
