What is 'Graduate Outcomes' and why does it happen?

Graduate Outcomes is a national survey which gathers information and views from graduates and their activities after completing their studies. The survey is conducted 15 months after studies have been completed, so please use Contact Us on this page to ensure we will have the correct contact details for you.
Alumni can update their contact details online

The results of the survey are useful to help us develop our services, and to allow prospective and current students to see where their course could take them. The results help us tailor our careers advice by allowing us to increase our understanding of the higher education sector and the graduate jobs market. They also contribute to our league table positioning.
