This data is publicly available and can be found on the HESA website: Figure 15 - UK domiciled graduates entering work in the UK by region of domicile, region of provider and region of work | HESA

Based on a survey of graduates, HESA’s HE Graduate Outcomes Data shows that 54% of the 2019/20 Welsh domiciled graduates who responded to the survey following study in other parts of the UK, were working in other parts of the UK upon graduation (2,285 of 4,195).
