Description

There are 6 broad questions for the research to cover: 1. What types of jobs do graduates of low-return subjects go into? 2. Beyond the salary they currently earn, or can expect to earn, in their current career what other measures of career success exist for graduates? 3. To what extent does the prospect of having a low salary job 'matter' to graduates of low-return subjects? 4. How did graduates of low-return return subjects make the choice about which subject to study? 5. How satisfied are graduates of low-return subjects with their careers? What are their general levels of wellbeing? 6. What lessons can we draw about the wider value that graduates of low-return subjects bring to the economy and society? Comparisons to be made between graduates from low-return subjects and other subjects, and between graduates and non-graduates employed in low-return subjects industries/roles where possible.

Research activities to include: • Literature review. • Secondary analysis of relevant surveys - Futuretrack, Labour Force Survey, Destination of Leavers of Higher Education (Longitudinal) and others as proposed by contractor. • Qualitative research with graduates from low-return subjects.
