Developing an understanding of projected rates of progression from entry to professional employment

This research report outlines a new measure reporting projected rates of students progressing from entry to first degree programmes through to professional employment or further study (previously referred to as ‘start to success’). It brings together projected data on the number of full-time first-degree students who complete their studies (completion rates) with data about the progression of recent graduates to employment, further study or other activities (graduate outcomes). It also describes some of the known limitations of this method.
