The charts below show what UK graduate and postgraduate students who did not go into full-time work did after leaving college in 2008. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The two bar charts compare and contrast the data on what kind of work both UK graduate and postgraduate

students

choose to do after leaving the university, excluding full-time jobs in 2008. The majority of UK graduates choose to continue studying

instead

of working.

Similarly

, the same happens in the path of the UK postgraduates as well. Meanwhile, voluntary work is the least favourite among both groups of

students

. In 2008, both graduate and postgraduate

students

were going for

further

study, accounting for 29,665 and 2,725

students

respectively.

However

, there is a big difference between

further

study and voluntary work as the number of

students

who chose

this

path was considerably low, with 3,500 graduates and 345 postgraduate

students

.

On the other hand

, the number of graduate

students

who worked part-time and were unemployed in 2008 showed a slight difference between the numbers which accounted for 17,735

part-time and 16,235 in unemployment.

Also

, the number of graduates who were unemployed was almost ten times greater than postgraduate

students

in 2008.
