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 two bar graphs illustrate that UK graduate and postgraduate learners who did not go to full-time employment did so after graduating from college in 2008. The first graph displays what British students did after finishing school, excluding full-time jobs in 2008. At nearly 30,000, graduates who continued on to
further
studies greatly outnumbered their counterparts who ended up in other situations.
In contrast
, only 3.500 graduates did voluntary
work
, making it the least common fresh graduate destination. Those who worked part-time and those who were unemployed were very similar in number, at 17,735 and 16,235 respectively. The second bar chart depicts those who continued their study, at 2,725, and who did voluntary
work
, at 345, were
also
the biggest and smallest groups respectively for postgraduates.
However
, the postgraduate did part-time
work
, at 2,535,
then
went into unemployment, at 1,625. In conclusion, the most common destination for both graduate and postgraduate was higher study education and the least common was voluntary
work
.
