NOTES
The Destination of Leavers from Higher Education (DLHE) survey was introduced by the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) for qualifiers from the 2002/03 academic year onwards. The survey replaces the former First Destination Supplement with coverage increased to include part-time students and more detailed questions on the destinations of leavers.The survey only provides a snapshot at about six months after graduation and does not reflect long term outcomes of HE qualifiers. HESA are currently planning a longitudinal survey of graduates.
Further information on the destinations of qualifiers from across the UK is available in the HESA publication Destination of Leavers from Higher Education.
Coverage
The HESA Destinations of Leavers from Higher Education target population for 2006/07 contains all United Kingdom (UK) and European Union (EU) domiciled students reported to HESA for the reporting period 1 August 2006 to 31 July 2007 as obtaining relevant qualifications and whose study was full-time or part-time (including sandwich students for full time and those writing-up theses for part time).
Relevant qualifications for inclusion in the DLHE return are postgraduate degrees, postgraduate diplomas and certificates, Postgraduate Certificates in Education (PGCE), first degrees (excludes intercalated degrees), Diplomas of Higher Education (DipHE), Certificates of Higher Education (CertHE), foundation degrees, Higher National Diplomas (HND) or Higher National Certificates (HNC). The population for the DLHE return does not necessarily represent the full cohort graduating during the reporting period; examples of those excluded are professional qualifications (e.g. associate membership or membership of a body such as the Institute of Bankers) and undergraduate diplomas and certificates (other than foundation degrees, HND, DipHE, HNC and CertHE).
The reference dates for this DLHE return were 16 April 2007 (if the leaver obtained the qualification between 1 August 20046and 31 December 2006) and 14 January 2008 (if the leaver obtained the qualification between 1 January 2007 and 31 July 2007).
Rounding
The presentation of figures in this table follow the principles of the current HESA rounding strategy. The strategy is intended to prevent the disclosure of personal information about any individual. A summary of the strategy is as follows:
1. Numbers 0, 1, 2 are rounded to 0 and are represented as '*'.
2. All other numbers are rounded to the nearest 5.
So for example 3 is represented as 5, 22 is represented as 20, 3286 is represented as 3285 while 20, 55, 3510 remain unchanged.
Total figures are also subject to this rounding methodology; the consequence of which is that the sum of numbers in each row or column may not match the total shown precisely.
Percentage less than 0.5 per cent are represented by '-'.
Response rates
Responses have been obtained from 15,965 Welsh qualifiers (including explicit refusals) out of a possible 20,475 a response rate of 78 per cent. 18,035 qualifiers from Welsh HEIs responded (including explicit refusals) out of a possible 23,320; a response rate of 77 per cent. Excluding explicit refusals, known destinations were obtained for 76 per cent of Welsh qualifiers and 77 per cent of qualifiers from Welsh HEIs.
