The charts show what UK graduates and postgraduates did after leaving college in 2008, not including full-time work.
Overall, it is clear that further study was the most popular choice for both groups, while voluntary work was the least popular. Also, graduates numbers are much higher than postgraduates.
Looking at graduates, about 29,665 students went to further study, which is the highest number. Around 17,735 did part-time work. Unemployment was also high, with 16,235 people. However, only 3,500 graduates did voluntary work, so it is the lowest.
For postgraduates, the trend is similar but numbers are smaller. Around 2,725 students continued further study. About 2,535 worked part-time. Unemployment was 1,625, which is less than graduates. Voluntary work was again the lowest, with only 345 people.
In conclusion, both graduates and postgraduates show similar patterns, but graduates have more people in all categories.
