Graduate Outcomes in London for 2010-2014 Cohorts

Research commissioned by the Greater London Authority analyzes outcomes for graduates who studied in London or were domiciled there prior to university. The Social Market Foundation used HESA data from four academic cohorts spanning 2010/11 to 2013/14, applying descriptive analysis and logit regression models. This work examines how different characteristics influence graduate outcomes when controlling for other variables.

Use Cases

• Modeling graduate employment or further study outcomes based on student characteristics mentioned in the research.
• Analyzing regional mobility patterns for graduates who studied in London versus those from London who studied elsewhere.
• Investigating equity in higher education outcomes by demographic factors referenced in the descriptive analysis.

Strengths

• Data covers four distinct academic year cohorts from 2010/11 to 2013/14.
• Analysis combines descriptive statistics with regression modeling to control for variables.
• Commissioned by the Greater London Authority, suggesting a policy-oriented scope.

Limitations

• Row count and specific column definitions are unknown, limiting suitability assessment.
• Data is from cohorts ending in 2013/14; outcomes may not reflect current graduate experiences.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
