The bar chart illustrates the percentage of post-graduation destinations of students majoring in physics and art and design in 2007.
Overall, the percentage of students choosing further study or training, working and studying, and other routes from physics was higher than that in art and design, while for the rest of the destinations, namely employment and unemployment, this was experienced reversely. Notably, becoming an employer was the most common choice for students from both majors.
Looking at the columns about employment and unemployment, the proportion of physics students was lower than the other. In 2007, 41% of physics students chose employment, which was 35% lower than students majoring in art and design. Meanwhile, the percentages of students in both subjects being jobless were 9% in physics and 11% in art and design, respectively.
Concerning the rest of the bar chart, the proportion of physics students outweighed the other. For further study and training, the percentage of this group entering the workforce, accounting for 34%, was five times higher than the figure of the other. Similarly, 11% of physics students choosing to work and study after graduating nearly doubled the share of the other (about 6%). Nevertheless, the percentage of students in two majors choosing other pursuits was quite equal, about 9%.
