Graduate Satisfaction with Undergraduate Choices: Data Analysis. September 2016/28
Higher Education Funding Council for England
This issues paper examines the retrospective satisfaction of graduates with their higher education choices, using data from a nationwide survey of former students. This is to identify whether there is variation in the frequency with which graduates from different equality groups say they would be likely to make different choices if they were able to revisit their choice of subject, institution or qualification or to choose to do something completely different. It is found that there is substantial variation in the levels of satisfaction between different ethnic groups with some groups being much more likely to make different choices if they could choose again. Contains the following annexes: (1) Response to Choice Questions by Graduate Characteristic; (2) Regression Results by Question; (3) References; and (4) Abbreviations.
