Thousands of graduate voices. One survey
The Graduate Outcomes survey exists to improve the experience of future students. That’s why we want to hear from you. We’d like to understand more about your career path and experiences after leaving higher education.
We are currently surveying graduates who completed an HE course between August to October 2024.
You will receive an email, text and phone call inviting you to complete the survey. The quickest way to take part is online, taking only 10 minutes to complete.
We ask all graduates to share their perspectives, 15 months after they finish their course, to build a national picture that UK universities and colleges use to innovate their services.
League tables, Prospects and The Complete University Guide use our Graduate Outcomes data to help students make decisions about their future.
Why take the survey?
Your 10 minute survey response has the power to influence higher education policy and the graduate job market.
As an international graduate, your voice matters - explore its impact in the Graduate Outcomes survey.
Don't just take our word for it...
I completed the survey because I think reflecting on our paths helps current students see the different possibilities after graduation, especially as an International student. My own journey has taken me from Economics at Essex to product management in consumer tech (Samsung), events marketing and management in talent tech (Bright Network), then pivoting via a Master's at LSE to now leading Marketing & Sales at an early-stage AI EdTech startup."

Data from graduates today, empowering the students of tomorrow
Graduate Outcomes data is the most complete data available on the labour market for graduates from higher education institutions. For this reason it has some pretty powerful uses!
Your feedback helps your university / college improve courses, support future students, and strengthen career services. It also shapes national insights into higher education and the graduate job market - used by government, researchers, and more.

Tell us about life after higher education
Graduate Outcomes is unique because it picks up with you over a year (15 months) after you’ve finished your studies. We believe this provides the time for you to reflect on the value your studies have played in your current activities, how this compares to your original plans and how you’re using skills you’ve picked up whilst in education.
Only you will know if you left education with the skills and knowledge you needed to get you to where you are now. We’re also really keen to understand the non-traditional routes that graduates are taking following education. Employment isn’t the only successful outcome: we want to know what you do, and really understand what you see as fulfilling.
