2.3 Study area Employment outcomes for international graduates vary considerably by study area, as is also the case for domestic graduates, as shown in Table 6 and Table 7 (results are not shown at postgraduate research level because there are numerous study areas with too few responses 89.0% to report). It should also be noted that a small number of study areas are responsible for most of the survey responses and are therefore driving results (see Table 22). full-time employment rate For undergraduates, international full-time employment rates ranged from a high of 89.0 per cent for Medicine graduates, down to 35.1 per of Medicine international cent for Creative arts graduates. Generally speaking, the fields of education with relatively high full-time employment rates, for example undergraduates - highest (2021) Pharmacy, Rehabilitation, Medicine, and Veterinary science, were similar for both international and domestic graduates. Nonetheless, full- time employment rates were lower for international graduates than for domestic graduates in every study area. At postgraduate coursework level, full-time employment rates ranged from a high of 90.3 per cent for Veterinary science, down to 38.1 per cent for Computing and information systems. Like undergraduates, the fields of education with relatively high full-time employment rates, for example Pharmacy, Medicine, Veterinary science, Rehabilitation, and Dentistry were similar for both international and domestic graduates. Lower rates of full-time employment were recorded for international graduates than for domestic graduates in every study area.
