University of Sussex Destination of Leavers From Higher Education 2017

Each year the Careers and Employability Centre surveys recent leavers from the University of Sussex who have completed undergraduate and postgraduate courses. This report covers all postgraduate leavers who completed courses between September 2016 and August 2017 - the class of 2017. This survey includes full time, part time graduates from UK and EU domiciles.

 Further national figures will be added to this guide following their publication by HESA in summer 2018.

About This Report

This report focuses primarily on home and EU postgraduate leavers and shows their main destinations. Also, it highlights key outcomes, including levels of job, employment sectors, earnings and locations of employment.  Where appropriate, data is broken down by academic department. The report illustrates trends using historical data and also provides broader comparison with other higher education institutions and national data. 

To make this report more accessible to users, key facts and figures are described in main body of the report whilst larger datasets are located in the appendices. This allows for the quick understanding of the major challenges and achievements facing postgraduate degree leavers whilst also giving the reader the data to look at in more detail if  they so wish.

Appendix 1 describes how the Careers and Employability Centre collects the data in line with the requirements of the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA).

Data for previous years’ leavers is available on the Careers & Employability Centre website – www.sussex.ac.uk/careers/whatourgraduatesdo


It is worth pointing out that HESA generally round numbers to the nearest multiple of 5.
