The Destinations of Leavers from Higher Education (DLHE) survey asks leavers from higher education what they are doing six months after graduation. About four in five leavers complete the survey.
Following a major review, HESA anticipate this will be the final year of DLHE outputs. A new graduate outcomes survey is being implemented and will survey graduates approximately 15 months after completing their studies. The first graduate outcomes data is due to be published in spring 2020.
