What is the survey?
Graduate Outcomes is the biggest UK annual social survey and captures the perspectives and current status of recent graduates. It will take 10 minutes to complete online.
All graduates who completed a higher education course in the UK after August 2017 will be asked to take part in the survey 15 months after they finish their studies. The survey aims to help current and future students gain an insight into career destinations and development.
We want to understand the graduate perspective and what success looks like for you following your time in higher education. Your valuable responses will help your university or college to evaluate and promote their courses.
If you’ve not heard of the survey before, . is available on the Graduate Outcomes website.
Why should I take part?
The collective graduate voice is powerful and will directly impact the future of education for prospective students. You’ll be helping the 亚色影库 understand the choices you’ve made since graduation and how this reflects the skills you developed whilst in education.
- Your input helps to inform students’ choices and enables universities to make improvements for their students and future generations.
- It enables our Employability and Careers Service to provide tailored careers advice which you can continue to access for up to two years after graduation.
- You will be supporting academic staff working with students to connect their academic experiences to their longer term success.
