Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what estimate she has made of the number of EU students who have remained in (a) the UK and (b) Scotland after graduating with degrees in (i) science, (ii) technology, (iii) engineering and (iv) mathematics in each of the last three years.

The information requested is not available. Destinations of students six months after leaving UK higher education institutions (HEIs) are collected and published annually by the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) as part of the Destination of Leavers from Higher Education (DLHE) survey. However, the location of residence of higher education leavers is not collected.

Latest statistics were published in June 2016 for students leaving their courses in the 2014/15 academic year and are available at the following link:
