This research will explore Welsh domiciled students’ decisions and transitions to higher education and their expectations and aspirations following undergraduate study. It will examine the extent to which considerations of employment opportunities in local and national contexts inform decisions and transitions to HE, and aspirations for work, study, and life upon graduation. It will also examine the extent to which national or cultural identities, or sense of belonging, frame young people’s educational transitions to and beyond university. Particular attention will be placed on under-represented groups such as care experienced students.
