The bar charts illustrate the four paths, not including full-time employment, taken by UK students who completed their bachelor’s and master’s degrees following graduation in 2008.
Overall, although graduates far outnumbered post-graduates, both groups demonstrated similar tendencies, with continued studies being the preferred option and volunteer work the least favoured one.
Members of the graduate class not pursuing full-time employment numbered roughly 10 times higher than the postgraduates in the same position. Accordingly, postgrads who chose to continue their education totalled just below 10% of those in the graduate group at 2725 and 29,665, respectively.
A similar relative position is evident among those choosing to volunteer and those who could not find a job. Whereas 3500 graduates found volunteer work, only 345 postgrads did the same; likewise, 16,235 graduates and 1625 postgrads could not find work. The most striking difference between these groups is the in-class relationship between part-time workers and those choosing further studies: among the graduates, the latter category almost doubled the former, while among the postgrads this number was almost equal, with 2725 choosing continuing education to 2535 part-timers.
