International Graduate Outcomes 2019 (i-GO), conducted by iGraduate, is the first study which specifically explores the career outcomes of a large sample of international graduates who studied in the UK. The value of international students is reflected in the UK government’s International Education strategy, released in March 2019. The strategy sets out the government’s ambition to increase the total number of international students choosing to study in the UK to 600,000 by 2030. Action 5 of the strategy says that the government will:

2019年国际毕业生成果报告［International Graduate Outcomes 2019（i-GO）］由iGraduate主导，报告基于赴英国留学的国际毕业生的大型样本，是首次专门针对留学生就业成果而进行的研究。英国政府在2019年3月发布的国际教育策略（International Education strategy）反映出了国际留学生的价值。英国政府期望通过这一策略的实施，在2030年前将赴英国留学人数提高到60万。策略的第5条写到：

Work with Universities UK International (UUKi) and the sector to identify and share good practice in how universities effectively support international students into employment and further study, both here in the UK and when they return to their home nation. We will also work with the sector to enhance the evidence base on international graduate outcomes and to monitor the UK’s comparative position with respect to international student recruitment and the international student experience.

政府将会与英国大学联盟国际部［Universities UK International (UUKi)］以及相关部门合作，发现并分享优秀案例，讨论大学如何能够在就业和教育进修方面有效地帮助国际学生，这种帮助不限于英国国内，还包括留学生回国以后。我们还会与相关部门合作，加强对国际毕业生就业去向的数据收集，并监测英国在国际留学生招聘和留学生经历方面发挥的作用。

This study is a starting point in enhancing this evidence base. International Graduate Outcomes 2019 (i-GO), conducted by iGraduate, is the first study which specifically explores the career outcomes of a large sample of international graduates who studied in the UK. To gather responses from a significant sample of 16,199 international graduates, 58 participating institutions surveyed their international alumni using iGraduate’s survey tool.

这份研究报告是一个让留学成果有据可循的开端。2019年国际毕业生成果报告（i-GO）由英国国际毕业生研究团体（iGraduate）主导，报告基于赴英国留学的国际毕业生的大型样本，是首次专门针对留学生就业成果而进行的研究。58所参与机构使用iGaduate的调查工具对它们的国际留学生校友进行了调查，收集了多达16199个国际留学生的信息。

The results presented in this report provide a snapshot of the employability benefits of a UK degree. The survey results show that international graduates from UK universities go on to successful and satisfying careers, and that the majority of them recognise that their UK degree is a vehicle for their success. The results also show just how valuable our international graduates are as ambassadors for the UK.

这一报告的结果简要表明了持有英国学位的就业优势。调查结果显示，从英国大学毕业的国际毕业生均顺利地找到了满意的工作，而且他们中的的大多数承认英国学位是他们成功路上的垫脚石。留学生的重要性也在调查结果中彰显出来，因为他们成为了英国的代言人。

There are additional contributing factors to the outcomes of international graduates that this data cannot wholly capture, including: the financial, academic and English language requirements that students must meet to study in the UK. Some of the graduates surveyed would have come from an already advantaged background – although, while we do not know the socioeconomic backgrounds of i-GO respondents, we do know that only 12% of them entirely self-funded their studies.

还有一些因素也对国际毕业生就业起到了推波助澜的作用，但是这份报告无法将其全面展示出来，包括学生在英国入学时需要达到的经济、学术、英语语言水平。一些参与调研的毕业生本身就有优越的背景——虽然我们并不了解参与i-GO的调查对象的社会经济背景，但我们知道他们当中只有12%是完全自费完成学业的。

The UK benefits from international graduates just as much as graduates themselves benefit from their UK degrees and this evidence base is a starting point to inform how government policy and university strategies can maximize the mutual benefits of international students and graduates.

国际毕业生受益于他们的英国学位，同样地，英国也从国际毕业生身上受益匪浅。这份报告为这一事实提供了证据，它是一个良好的开端，让人们明白了政府政策和学校政策该如何最大化利用与国际学生及毕业生之间这种互惠互利的关系。
