Graduate Destinations - Destination of Leavers from Higher Education (DLHE) survey

The University is required by the Higher Education Funding Council of England (HEFCE) to return data to the Higher Education Statistical Agency (HESA) on the destination of every student who has achieved a higher education qualification. This is done via a survey called the Destination of Leavers from Higher Education (DLHE) survey. The survey asks details of what the graduate was doing⁄will be doing on a specific day six months after graduation. The statistics are published for all UK Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) (although all personal information is removed and remains confidential) and the figures for employed⁄unemployed are used as a benchmark for the higher education league tables.
