Destinations Data

Why data is collected

The University of Sheffield Careers Service collects data on the destinations of UK and EU-domiciled graduates approximately six months after graduation in accordance with guidelines set by the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA). This data forms part of the national Destinations of Leavers from Higher Education (DLHE) survey that is conducted at all UK universities. Information about how the DLHE information is collected at this University can be viewed on the download `How destination data is collected´.

Accessing destinations data for the University of Sheffield

In line with the requirements of the Data Protection Act this data must not be made available to anyone other than members of University staff having a legitimate interest in it.

For 2008/9 and 2009/10

The Careers Service has purchased a system which allows for the interactive interrogation of 2008/9 and 2009/10 destinations data for first and higher degree graduates. GEMS (Graduate Employment Market Statistics) enables staff to create a range of reports using DLHE survey data at course, department, faculty and institutional levels.

For 2007/8 and 2006/7 graduates

Static reports recording outcomes for first and higher degree graduates are available in the form of departmental reports.

For Non – EU international graduates 2005/06 and 2006/07

These students are not included in the DLHE survey but are followed up by the Careers Service one year after graduation.

Key analyses of the most recent survey are available as downloads from this screen including a table showing the performance of departments in the subject league tables published by the Independent, Times and Guardian.
