Graduate Outcomes Survey Student/Graduate Information
The Graduate Outcomes is a survey to find out what recent graduates go on to do after they have graduated. The survey is important because your opinions will help current and future students gain an insight into career destinations and development and the University to shape our programmes for students who are following in your footsteps. The survey contacts graduates:
- 15 months after graduation
- by email or phone
- to learn about your activities and views
See Graduate Outcomes for further information and FAQs
