Graduate outcomes in London

At the end of 2019 the Greater London Authority (GLA) commissioned the Social Market Foundation (SMF) to conduct research focusing on how the outcomes of graduates who have studied in London and those from London vary, by a range of different characteristics.

This research uses a range of methods to gain insight into the outcomes of graduates who were domiciled in London prior to university and those who studied at a London institution. In particular, the SMF undertook a literature review of academic, government and policy papers on degree outcomes and the factors that interact with these; conducted descriptive analysis of data provided by the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA); and ran a series of logit regression models to look further into how different characteristics influence graduate outcomes when controlling for other variables. The data includes young first degree students studying at a Higher Education Institution within London and students domiciled in London prior to university who study outside of the capital. The data includes four cohorts from the academic years 2010/11 to 2013/14.

2019年末，大伦敦政府（Greater London Authority，GLA）委托社会市场基金会（Social Market Foundation，SMF）开展一项研究，旨在探究在伦敦就读的毕业生与来自伦敦的毕业生，其成果如何因各类不同特征而产生差异。
本研究采用多种研究方法，以深入洞察两类毕业生的成果：一类是大学就读前户籍隶属于伦敦的毕业生，另一类是在伦敦高等院校就读的毕业生。具体而言，SMF首先针对学位成果及其相关影响因素的学术文献、政府报告与政策文件开展了系统性综述；随后对高等教育统计局（Higher Education Statistics Agency，HESA）提供的数据进行描述性分析；并构建了一系列逻辑回归模型，以在控制其他变量的前提下，进一步探究不同特征对毕业生成果的影响。本次研究的数据涵盖两类群体：在伦敦高等教育机构就读的攻读首个学位的青年学生，以及大学就读前户籍位于伦敦但在首都以外地区就读的学生；数据覆盖2010/11至2013/14学年的四个队列。
