1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This year marks the 30th edition of the report on the First Destinations survey of University of Limerick

graduates. This survey is conducted every year by the Cooperative Education & Careers Division as

part of a nation-wide survey, on behalf of the Higher Education Authority. The survey report reflects

the status of UL graduates nine months after graduation, providing accurate and comprehensive

information on employment and further study patterns. It also provides details of the employment

sectors, regions of employment, and salary levels. This exercise has generated valuable data on

graduate employment trends over a long period of varying levels of economic and social development.

This information is of benefit to students, university management, employers, policy makers and all

with an interest in higher education.

Over the past two years, the employment prospects of all Irish graduates have been adversely

affected by the continuing recession, as many employers cancelled their graduate recruitment plans or

reduced their graduate intake. The impact on the graduates of 2009 was very severe, resulting in the

highest graduate unemployment experienced since the 1980s, as reported in the First Destinations

survey report published last year. Although there is still widespread concern about job losses in the

Irish economy, the results of the most recent survey of UL graduates are much more encouraging

showing an overall increase of 7% in the employment record of the total UL graduating class of 2010.

There has also been a significant increase in the level of graduate recruitment activities on campus in

the past year as employers target UL graduates because of their academic ability and the

employability skills developed through their Cooperative Education and Teaching Practice experience.

This is reflected in the recent international QS Star Ratings which awarded UL a 5-Star rating for

Graduate Employability, on the basis of the ‘work-readiness’ of graduates, employer

recommendations, and the careers support available to students.

The survey of the graduates of 2010 was conducted in April 2011 and the results reflect the

employment and further study pattern of 80% of the 2,500 graduates who completed full-time

programmes of study in UL during 2010. The survey covers all award levels, up to and including

PhDs.

The key features of the survey findings for the different award levels are as follows:

Primary Degrees

58% of graduates went directly into employment, 45% in Ireland and 13% overseas. This is a

5% increase in employment levels on the previous year. It is not possible to make

comparisons with the national employment level of graduates as that data is not yet available

from the HEA but the employment record of UL graduates has always been consistently

higher than the national average.

The percentage of graduates finding employment in both Ireland and overseas increased in

the past year, from 41% to 45%, and from 12% to 13% respectively. This is encouraging and

demonstrates the employability of UL graduates even in a recessionary climate.

There was a decrease in the number of graduates opting for further study or research, from

32% to 27%. This may be attributed to the general decline in disposable incomes in Irish

households which makes postgraduate course fees unaffordable for many.

There was a 1% increase to 5% in the percentage who were 'not available' for employment or

further study. There has been very little variation in this percentage over the past five years,

ranging from 4% to 6%.

The results record a decrease of 1% in the number of graduates seeking employment which is

now 10%. This is lower than the official labour market unemployment figure which is currently

in excess of 14.4%.


There has been no significant change in the salary levels for new graduates in the past year.

The results record an average starting salary of approximately €24,400 with more than 27% of

respondents earning salaries in excess of €29,000.

Once again, the public sector accounts for the highest concentration of graduate jobs,

particularly Education at 26% down 4% on last year, and Health at 14% up 1% on last year.

Despite the continuing problems encountered in the financial services sector, the Business,

Finance and Insurance sectors between them accounted for the second highest proportion of

graduates, 22% which is 2% lower than last year.

The Mid-West continues to be the most popular region of employment, accounting for 31% of

jobs, followed by Dublin, at 30%. The most popular overseas location was the UK at 39%,

followed by the Middle East at 24%.

The overall employment rate for Education graduates increased by 3% to 82%, which is

exceptionally strong considering that only 13% are teaching overseas. The number seeking

employment is also significantly lower than average, at only 7%.

Higher Degrees

The survey results record a significant improvement in the employment rates across the

majority of postgraduate programmes, demonstrating the value of investing in further study as

a means of improving employment prospects.

More than three quarters of those who completed Postgraduate Diplomas in 2010 found

employment. Of the 76% employed, the vast majority are working in Ireland with only 9%

working abroad.

A total of 657 graduates completed Masters Degrees in 2010 and 72% went directly into

employment, 13% of these overseas. Some 9% continued with their studies primarily to PhD

level.

The highest employment rate was recorded by PhD graduates with 94% employed, an

increase of 11% on the previous year. PhD graduates are also more likely to seek research

opportunities overseas, and 19% are working outside of Ireland.

Salary levels increase in accordance with level of qualification and, for those with

postgraduate qualifications, average salaries range from €28,000 to €48,500, depending on

type of qualification, sector of employment and nature of job.

2 GRADUATE EMPLOYMENT TRENDS

Employment trends over time: UL Graduates 2000-2010

This chart reflects the ebbs and flows in the Irish economy over the past decade as the employment

rate of UL graduates ranged from a peak of 74% in 2007 to a nadir of 53% in 2009. The drop in

employment is counterbalanced by a rise in postgraduate study, from 18% to 32% over the same

period. Similar trends are evident in the percentage of graduates seeking employment, ranging from a

low of 2% to a high of 11%. The most recent survey reports a drop in the number of graduates

seeking employment to 10% which is significantly lower than the national unemployment rate,

currently in excess of 14.4%.

Employment by degree discipline: UL graduates 2010

In the past year, there has been a noticeable improvement in graduate employment levels across all

degree disciplines. This chart highlights the variation in employment patterns across degree

disciplines, with the highest employment rate recorded by graduates in Education & Health Sciences

graduates who have completed professional programmes. These courses are traditionally associated

with high employment, and have maintained this record despite recruitment embargoes in the public

sector which accounts for the majority of jobs for these graduates.

The employment rate of Business graduates increased from 56% to 61%, and this is largely attributed

to a return to the high recruitment pattern of the large accounting firms. There was a corresponding

drop of 6% in the number of Business graduates opting for postgraduate study, from 29% to 23%.

Postgraduate study has always been a popular option for graduates in the Arts, Humanities & Social

Science disciplines. This is clearly reflected in the most recent statistics which show the number of

graduates in further study outweigh those in employment by 3%. This attraction to further study is

also a characteristic of Science & Engineering graduates with almost one third opting for postgraduate

study or research activities.

Employment by award level: UL graduates 2010

The value of postgraduate study is clearly evident from this chart which shows an improvement in

employment in line with qualification levels. The higher the qualification award, the more likely

graduates are to enter the labour market and the less likely they are to continue to further study. PhD

graduates recorded an exceptionally high employment rate of 94% and this reflects an increase in

research and development activities in some of the key graduate employers in Ireland, both

multinationals and indigenous companies. This group also shows the highest rate of graduates

working overseas as many are attracted by academic posts in international research institutes or

universities.

Current Situation

Female Male


Female graduates outnumber male graduates by 52% to 48% and record a higher employment rate of

65% against 63%. The survey results show that they are also more likely to continue to further study

and are less likely to be seeking employment or be unavailable for employment. This trend has been

evident in previous survey reports and may be due to the higher presence of female students in the

Education & Health Sciences programmes, which also record the highest employment rates. There is

no direct evidence of a gender bias in recruitment patterns. In fact, it is more likely that the degree

discipline has a stronger influence on employment prospects than the gender of graduates.

Salary levels by award: UL graduates 2010

It is no surprise that there is a positive correlation between graduate starting salaries and level of

award, as demonstrated in this chart. The above chart displays only salary ranges up to €41,000. It is

important to note however, that a significant number of research masters and PhD graduates are on

salaries well above this level but it has not been possible to display this accurately in the above

composite chart as it would skew the overall distribution across other award levels. The distribution of

salary levels for these two cohorts can be found in section 7 of this report. Salary levels increase in

accordance with the level of qualification, with average salaries ranging from €24,400 for a primary

degree graduate to €44,200 for PhD graduates.

It is difficult to make accurate assumptions based on the salary data as only 59% of respondents have

declared salary details. Also, the survey records only the starting salaries for graduates and cannot

reflect any differences that might arise at a later stage in the graduates’ careers. It is likely that many

of the differences in salary levels can be accounted for by degree discipline, level of award, type of

employer or location of employer. These are evident in the more detailed sets of charts provided in

section 3.5 of this report.

3 OVERVIEW OF SURVEY RESULTS: PRIMARY DEGREE GRADUATES

3.1 First Destinations of 2010 Graduates: All Faculties

The total number of Primary Degree graduates in 2010 exceeded 1,600, of whom over 82% are

accounted for in the survey results. The pattern of first destinations for this cohort of graduates is as

follows:

After two successive years of declining employment rates, this year’s results show a reversal

in this trend as many employers return to previous levels of graduate recruitment. This is

reflected in an increase of 5% in the employment rate of UL graduates of 2010, from 53% to

58%. The percentage employed in Ireland has increased by 4% to 41%.

There has been a very slight increase in the number of graduates finding work overseas, from

12% to 13%. Although this is the highest level in this decade, it is significantly lower than the

high levels experienced during the 1980s.

There has been a significant decrease in the number of graduates opting for further study or

research, down 5% from last year to its current level of 27%. This may be attributed to the

general decline in disposable incomes in Irish households which makes postgraduate course

fees unaffordable for many.

The percentage of graduates who were not available for employment or further study

increased by 1% from last year.

There was a decrease of 1% in the number of graduates seeking employment which is now

10%. This is well below the official labour market unemployment level which is currently at

14.4%.

Note: Detailed information on each of the individual degree courses is presented in section 3.5.

3.2 Employment Sectors: All Faculties

The sectoral distribution of graduate jobs varies greatly across the different degree disciplines, as

reflected in the course charts on the following pages. Only the larger sectors are highlighted in this

commentary. The overall trends for all Primary degree graduates are as follows:

The dominance of the public sector is again evident from the survey results, accounting for

41% of graduate jobs, down 3% from last year. Foremost is the Education sector at 26%,

down 4% on last year, whereas the Health sector showed an increase of 1%, and the Civil

Service remains static at 1%. The highest employment rate was recorded by Nursing with

some of the specialist programmes recording 95% employed in relevant roles.

The combined Business, Finance and Insurance sectors remain strong, accounting for the

second highest proportion of graduates at 22%. A further analysis of this group shows that

approximately 42% are employed in accountancy and legal services and 39% are employed in

banking, finance and insurance with the remainder employed in other related sectors.

The Manufacturing sector remains consistent with the previous year, accounting for only 11%

of jobs. The ICT and Telecommunications sector has increased by 1% to 5% but has capacity

for a much higher intake of graduates. This sector is suffering from the current shortage of

graduates in computing disciplines which has been a feature of higher education in recent

years.

3.3 Salaries: All Faculties

Salary data applies only to graduates employed in Ireland. This chart relates to over 59% of graduates

who declared their salary levels.

Following two years of declining salary levels, this year’s survey results indicate that graduate

salaries have stabilised. The average starting salary for UL graduates in 2010 was €24,500,

considerably lower than the average salary of €28,000 which was recorded three years ago.

There was an increase in the number of graduates at the higher end of the salary scale, with

27% of respondents reporting salaries in excess of €29,000 by comparison with 24% last

year. This was offset by a similar increase in the number of graduates at the lower end of the

salary scale, with 22% on salaries below €17,000 by comparison with 19% last year.

11% of graduates are on the lowest salary band, earning salaries of less than €12,999. This

might be because of part-time work or possibly because of the impact of the unpaid or lowly

paid graduate internship programmes introduced by the government as a job creation

measure.

The average salary for male graduates was €25,200 by comparison with €23,600 for female

graduates. This is a significant difference but cannot be directly attributed to gender bias. On

the whole, salary levels are more likely to be influenced by factors such as degree discipline,

type of job, sector of employment or location of employment.

Detailed salary information is presented in the individual course tables in the next section of

this report.

3.4 Location of Employment: All Faculties

Over the past few years, the Mid-West has surpassed Dublin as the preferred location for UL

graduates but the survey results show that this gap has now narrowed to 1%. The number of

graduates employed in the Mid-West has dropped from 35% to 31% and this has been offset

by an increase of 1% in both the East and South-West regions.

There has been no significant change in the location of jobs overseas, with the UK retaining

its position as the preferred location, accounting for 40% of jobs. This can be attributed to the

number of teachers and nurses finding work in the UK as Irish qualifications are in demand in

these sectors.

The United Arab Emirates continues to be a popular location for UL graduates, accounting for

24% of jobs, primarily one large network of international schools in the United Arab Emirates

which has been one of the largest employers of UL graduates in recent years. The next most

popular location is the EU (excluding the UK) accounting for 13% of jobs, which means that

more than 50% of those working abroad have stayed within the EU.
