How many students graduate each year?

[sadsal]

Any one know how many full-time third level students graduate,on average, each year? There's about 140,000 full time students in the third level system altogether. And what are there chances of getting work?

where did you get these figures?

approx 60,000 ppl sit there leaving cert each year
so what you are saying is hat all of these go to 3rd level, all pass and graduate and we also have an additional 20,000 ppl studying at 3rd level?

figures seem way too high.

When you mean full time 3rd level do you mean cert/dip/degree etc?

Um, the people graduating this year with 3- or 4-year primary degrees did their LC 3 or 4 years ago, when numbers doing their LC were higher. Numbers have been declining since 1998.
