The learned societies carry out regular surveys on graduates and where they go. Try the Royal Society of Chemistry, the IoP and the engineering bodies. ____________________________ Michael Kenward ABSW e-minder http://www.absw.org.uk http://absw.blogspot.com/ _____ From: psci-com: on public engagement with science [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Jennifer Marsden Sent: 7 November 2008 14:24 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [PSCI-COM] Losing Science/Technology graduates - is it a problem in the UK? Dear All I'm doing some research into how many science/engineering/technology graduates stay in their profession and wondered if anyone knew of any exisiting research out there on this topic? I want to find out how many science/engineering grads leave the science behind and go and work in completely un related professions e.g. banking/law etc. If this is a problem, is it affecting the UK economy? Are we forcing research abroad due to falling numbers of qualified graduates? If you believe it is a major problem - why do you think that science graduates chose not to use their scientific knowledge in their career - either at the bench or at the desk (e.g. teaching or communicating it). Any thoughts/references would be useful. Many thanks, Jenny _____ Get the best wallpapers on the Web - FREE.
