This Statistical First Release (SFR) has been produced by the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA), in collaboration with statisticians from the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS), the Welsh Government (WG), the Scottish Government (SG) and the Department for the Economy Northern Ireland (DfE(NI)). It has been released according to the arrangements approved by the UK Statistics Authority. From 2012/13, HESA has collected data on all UK publicly funded higher education institutions (HEIs) and a number of alternative providers (APs), collectively referred to as higher education providers (HEPs). This SFR, as in previous years, contains information regarding only HEIs and the University of Buckingham and therefore uses the term 'higher education providers (HEPs)'. Data for APs is not reported on here as AP Destinations of Leavers data is currently collected for the purposes of UNISTATS. This SFR provides details of the destinations of UK and other European Union domiciled leavers from higher education (HE) who obtained qualifications in HEPs in the UK, during the academic year 2014/15. The data presented draws on the 2014/15 Destinations of Leavers from Higher Education (DLHE) survey and presents time series analysis relating back to 2011/12 when the revised DLHE survey was introduced.
