Footnotes

1. All populations are rounded to the nearest 5 full-person equivalent (FPE) individuals
2. Employment outcome percentages are rounded to the nearest 0.1%; differences in outcome percentages are calculated using unrounded values.
3. Earnings figures are rounded to the nearest £100; percent changes and differences in earnings are calculated using unrounded values.
4. c = data has been suppressed due to small numbers. z = there is no result (N/A)
5. In the 2021/22 tax year, 1 YAG (one year after graduation) relates to those who graduated in the 2019/20 academic year, 3 YAG to graduates in 2017/18, 5 YAG to graduates in 2015/16 and 10 YAG to graduates in 2010/11.
6. The top 20 countries by graduate population were calculated from the 2021/22 tax year, one year after graduation (2019/20 academic year). These countries were used for subsequent analysis to allow for comparison between the remaining tax and academic years.
7. In contrast to the UK domicile section of this release, which looks at matched graduates only, employment and/or further study outcomes for international graduates are calculated as a percentage of all graduates, excluding only those identified by DWP/HMRC or SLC as permanently living overseas.
