Description

Expressions of interest are sought for a research project focusing on graduates of 'low earnings return' subjects. Recent analysis, commissioned by the Department for Education (DfE), confirmed that graduates of some subjects (such as creative arts) have significantly lower than average earnings returns from Higher Education (HE). However, such subjects may provide students and society with other types of return. It is these 'low earning return' graduates and wider benefits that is the focus of this proposed research. We believe that a combination of secondary analysis and qualitative research would be the most effective methodology to address our research questions, but we would welcome contractors to put forward other methodologies.
