You may recall completing a questionnaire as part of the Higher Education Statistics Agency's (HESA) Destinations of Leavers from Higher Education survey six months after you finished your studies in 2004/05. You may have seen information from the survey in the media – for example, as part of the University League Tables. The information you provided will also have been used within the institution and by government.
There is now another opportunity for some of you to let us know what you have been doing since you gained your qualification. IFF Research, on behalf of HESA, is conducting a survey (the ‘DLHE Longitudinal Survey’) and they may send you a questionnaire. The questionnaire will ask you to detail your activities since you graduated in 2004/05. Any information you provide will help in reviewing and promoting courses and giving current students an insight into early career progression, as well as providing input to government policy development and review.
If you are contacted by IFF Research (by email, post or phone), please take time to complete the survey and return it - your participation is valuable.
You will be able to see the results of this survey on the web next summer. The results of the survey of 2002/03 graduates have already been published and can be seen at Destinations of Leavers from Higher Education Longitudinal Survey - Key Findings Report Published 2007
