WORKING-CLASS ACADEMICS BLOG

I would encourage graduates to take part in this study as existing research graduates often focuses on a UK or overall Welsh perspective. Graduates, including those from North Wales institutions, have a variety of experiences post graduation.  One size does not fit all!   Knowledge and understanding of these experiences could help  provide tailored help for local graduates.

I am conducting research into the post graduation experiences of graduates across North Wales for the purpose of my Ph.D.  This study is being carried out in conjunction with the School of Social Sciences, Bangor University and is funded by the Economic Social and Research Council.

Taking part in the study

The first stage of this study involved graduates such as yourself completing an online or postal questionnaire.  The second stage of this study is an interview to explore in further detail some of the themes outlined in the questionnaire.

The areas of interest to be explored in both stages include:

• Your early childhood i.e where you lived;
• Your experiences at university;
• Your experiences in the employment market, since graduating, and;
• Whether you have undertaken further, post graduate studies.
