Written question WQ89277

In 2021/22, 29% (10,000) of first year undergraduate enrolments from students of Welsh domicile were to higher education providers outside Wales. We do not routinely collect statistics on the graduate destinations of all students, rather this is undertaken through survey data. In 2020/21, there were 7,420 Welsh domiciled undergraduate respondents to the graduate outcomes survey for whom work was the most important activity. 2,760 (37%) studied outside Wales. Of the 2,760 who studied outside Wales, 1,160 (42%) returned to Wales to work.
