Early Career Outcomes for Online versus Campus UKII Graduates: A Tracer that Refuses a League-Table Fairy Tale

Abstract

This tracer follows UKII graduates 12 months after award, split by pathway, with honest cell sizes. Employers asked for verification and a capstone artefact. They rarely asked which café the student used in London. Where professions required local placements UKII does not provide, online and campus alike were outside that gate — a catalogue honesty issue. United Kingdom Institute of Innovation should publish outcome notes with limitations. UK higher education already has enough inflated dashboards.
