The figures therefore exclude HE qualifications obtained by students at further education colleges and at other private and independent HE colleges.</li> <li>The 2008/09 Destinations of Leavers from Higher Education (DLHE) data includes all those students whose study was full-time or part-time (see Definition 5) and who obtained relevant qualifications (see Definition 3) reported to HESA for the reporting period 1 August 2008 to 31 July 2009.</li> <li> <p>The HESA DLHE Target Population contains all UK and European Union domiciled HE students for whom destinations data is expected and sought (see Definition 6). The figures presented in this SFR are based on information obtained by institutions and returned to HESA. Where the category 鈥榰nknown' appears, the data relates both to non-respondents and to those leavers who have explicitly refused to answer the survey. Data on the number of unknowns is obtained by cross-checking the actual respondents with the total expected to reply, as returned in the 2008/09 HESA Student Record.</p> <p>In 2008/09, 294,495 full-time qualifiers responded from a target population of 371,285, which amounts to an overall response rate of 79% compared to 77% in 2007/08. 73,715 part-time qualifiers responded from a target population of 99,725, an overall response rate of 74% compared to 70% in 2007/08. These response rates include explicit refusals and are calculated separately from this SFR. They will be presented in a reference volume published by HESA (see Note 4).</p> <p>In this SFR the figures for whom destinations are known exclude explicit refusals, for which no other information is available. It can be seen from Table 1 that the percentage of records returned for full-time HE students is 77% (74% in 2007/08) and from Table 2 for part-time HE students 70% (66% in 2007/08).</p> </li> <li> <p>A reference volume 鈥楧estinations of Leavers from Higher Education 2008/09', setting out more information about the destinations of students qualifying at HEIs in the UK, will be published by HESA in August 2010.</p> <p>The 2007/08 DLHE SFR can be found <a href="/web/20230203161750/https://www.hesa.ac.uk/news/02-07-2009/sfr137-destinations-of-leavers">here</a>.</p> </li> <li> <p>The Joint Academic Coding System (JACS) of subject classification has been used as the basis for HESA data and this SFR. A variant of the SOC2000 was created for the coding of occupational information for use in the DLHE survey; this classification is termed SOC (DLHE).</p> <p>From 2007/08 the aggregations reflect the Standard Industrial Classification economic activity sections as summarised in the UK Standard Industrial Classification of Economic Activities 2007 (SIC 2007). To enable production of comparable time-series the new SIC categories have been grouped to fit with the old categories using <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20230203161750/http://www.statistics.gov.uk/methods_quality/sic/downloads/SIC2007explanatorynotes.pdf" target="_blank">this pdf</a>.</p> </li> <li>52% of UK domiciled leavers who obtained first degree qualifications and entered full-time paid employment in the UK disclosed their salary. HESA therefore advises caution in analysis of leavers by salary.</li> <li>The qualification acronym 鈥楶GCE' has traditionally been understood to stand for 鈥楶ost-Graduate Certificate in Education'. However, the academic level of PGCE courses does vary. In April 2005 the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education issued guidance in relation to the Framework for HE Qualifications, which introduced a distinction between those PGCEs pitched at a level equivalent to the final year of an undergraduate Honours degree and those pitched beyond Honours level. The existing postgraduate level qualification was augmented by a new undergraduate level version, entitled the 鈥楶rofessional Graduate Certificate in Education'. This change was reflected in the HESA Student Record from 2007/08. For purposes of time-series in this SFR, within Tables 1,1a, 2 and 2a where PGCEs are shown separately both postgraduate and undergraduate versions are included. Where the level of study disaggregation does not show PGCEs separately, 鈥楶ostgraduate Certificates in Education' are included in 鈥楶ostgraduate' totals and 鈥楶rofessional Graduate Certificates in Education' are included in 鈥極ther undergraduate' totals.</li> <li>The wording of the further study question within the DLHE questionnaire was altered from 2007/08 to clarify that leavers registered as research students, not those employed as researchers, should respond to this question. The resulting effect of this change can be seen most notably in the fall in proportion of doctorate leavers appearing within the combination of employment and study category from the equivalent figure for 2006/07.</li> </ol> <h2>Definitions</h2> <ol class="ol"> <li>HE students are those students on courses for which the level of instruction is above that of level 3 of the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA) National Qualifications Framework (NQF), e.g. courses at the level of Certificate of HE and above.</li> <li> <p>The survey dates for this DLHE return were 20 April 2009 (if the leaver obtained the qualification between 1 August 2008 and 31 December 2008) and 11 January 2010 (if the leaver obtained the qualification between 1 January 2009 and 31 July 2009).

All other numbers are rounded up or down, to the nearest multiple of 5. This rounding strategy is also applied to totals figures, a consequence of which is that the sum of numbers in each row or column rarely precisely matches the totals shown. Percentages are calculated on the base data and are suppressed if they are calculated on a population which contains 52 or fewer individuals. These cases are represented as '..'.</p> </li> </ol> <p>Press enquiries should be directed to the Press Office at the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA), 95 Promenade, Cheltenham, GL50 1HZ, telephone 01242 211120.
