The charts below show what UK graduate and postgraduate students who did not go into full-time work did after leaving college in 2008.
The bar charts give information on what UK graduates and postgraduates did after college in 2008, excluding those who went into full-time
work
.
Overall
, for all four types, the amount of graduate students is approximately ten times that of postgraduate students. It can be inferred from both charts that most chose to participate in
further
study,
while
voluntary
work
is the least popular choice. For both graduates and postgraduates, the number of unemployed people is about half the number of people who went into
further
study.
However
,
while
the amount of graduates who chose part-time
work
is only a bit higher than the unemployed, the amount of postgraduates doing part-time
work
is actually almost equal to those enrolled in
further
study.
