- 9. Real Prospects, 2011 ‘‘We found that graduates who believed their participation in HE had contributed to their personal & professional development demonstrated an awareness of the broader purposes of HE while graduates who perceived their higher education to be of little of no value were more likely to view university as a means to an end.’’ (Source: Higgins, in Graduate Market Trends, Spring 2012)

Further study? • GRADUATES WERE MORE LIKELY TO ENGAGE IN FURTHER STUDY IF… • They had completed a three-year course • They were male • Both parents held degrees • They had attended a highest or high tariff institution • They had studied biology, veterinary science, physical sciences, linguistics, classics, languages, or historical or philosophical studies for their first degree • They held a first-class • GRADUATES WERE LESS LIKELY TO ENGAGE IN FURTHER STUDY IF… • They had completed a five-year course • They were female • Neither parent held a degree • They had attended a middle or low tariff institution • They had studied medicine or subjects allied to medicine, education, dentistry or creative art and design for their first degree • They held a lower second-class degree
- 16. Some issues and questions…
- 17. • Is it reasonable to expect HE to deliver a satisfying, well paid job? • The labour market is dynamic; but self- confidence and the ability to learn are the basis of career adaptability (employability). • Do applicants even think about what HE can deliver? (more easily noted in the absence). • Stakeholders’ views on what HE should deliver differ.

Notes de l'éditeur
- Also concern about debt.
- In the mid 90s only 30% of students had paid work – they were attractive to employers and often found vacation and seasonal work – many of us did! Introduction of new financial arrangements appears to have triggered changes in the level of students working whilst studying – estimates now put it at around half (or up to 58%). Participation in paid work is not uniform: Futuretrack respondents report that : At stage 1 more expected to do paid work in holiday time than term time Around 30% expected not to work at all thus 70% did expect to take paid work Over 40% of FT thought they would work both in term time and holiday times.
