This page compares the trends in debt on leaving study and five years post-study, and income one and five years post-study for students who left study in a given year and who had borrowed and/or had an allowance. It also includes a profile of those who left study in 2000. This expands on the leaving debt discussion in the student financial support section. The income for each cohort is influenced by the mix of fields, levels and courses studied.
