Graduate Destinations
Post-1992s Beat Older Rivals
Some post-1992 universities have outperformed older institutions in the latest set of statistics on graduate destinations. Data released on 5 July by the Higher Education Statistics Agency indicate that in 2011-12, 90.3 per cent of graduates of full-time first degree study were in employment or further study six months after leaving university, down from the pre-recession level of 93.8 per cent in 2006-07. Among the highest-performing institutions was the Arts University College at Bournemouth, with almost 98 per cent of graduates in work or further study, according to Hesa data. Other modern universities performing well included Robert Gordon University (97.1 per cent) and the universities of Northampton (96.6 per cent) and Huddersfield (93.5 per cent).
