Graduate career readiness: Explore

Graduate Outcomes

Graduate Outcomes is a national survey that captures the activities and perspectives of graduates 15 months after completing their studies. The responses to the survey are extremely valuable in helping the University of Huddersfield to learn more about where our graduates go after finishing university and how we can better support graduates, current and future students in their career journeys.

You should receive the Graduate Outcomes survey via phone or email from an external organisation 15 months after completing your degree. If you are contacted, please take the time to share your views on your current activity (e.g work, further study, self-employment, volunteering, travelling etc.) and graduate journey so far; the feedback you provide can make a huge difference to the support we provide to current and future generations of University of Huddersfield students and graduates. 

To support the survey, we are required to hold accurate contact details for you, including a personal email address, at least one telephone number, and a postal address (this can be a parental/guardian address). Please remember to update your details here. This will also enable us to continue to provide you with relevant careers advice, support and opportunities specially for Huddersfield graduates.

Find out more about the survey, as well as how your answers and data is used and processed, on the Graduate Outcomes Q&A page.
