Graduates unhappier and more anxious than other adults

Analysis reveals graduate dissatisfaction compared with post-16 population

Recent graduates report higher levels of unhappiness and anxiety than the general UK population, an analysis by the Office for Students has found.

In a new analysis of graduate outcomes data originally published in June, England’s regulator revealed that graduates who left university in the 2017-18 academic year were more likely to be dissatisfied compared with the general population.
