What do PhDs do? - Trends
Fabrice Martin
What have become of PhDs who graduated between 2003 et 2005 in the United Kingdom? A new report by the UK GRAD Programme focuses on the evolution of their employment data.Patterns of employment have, broadly speaking, remained fairly consistent over the 2003-2005 period. Unemployment rates are low for doctoral researchers, compared to other degrees; around half those graduating work in the education sector; one third work in research roles; and around a fifth are employed as postdoctoral researchers in Higher Education.
However, the overall pattern of consistency can mask larger variations at discipline group level. To get into the details:
