Graduate Outcomes Survey

The Graduate Outcomes Survey is a national survey, sent to all graduates 15 months after they finish a Higher Education course. It’s the biggest annual social survey in the UK and captures information about your experiences and your current status.

 

Why complete the survey?

We want to hear about what you are doing now. Are you in work? Still continuing in education? Or doing something else? Let us know!

Your responses will help to shape the future for NTU students – including those looking to study the same course as you. Share your experience and help to inspire the next generation.

About the survey

If you are employed and have multiple jobs, you will be asked to provide details of your main job. This doesn't have to be the activity you spend the most time doing, or which pays you the most money. It should be the one most related to your main career plan.

For example, a photography graduate who is starting out as a self-employed wedding photographer but also works full-time in retail while they build their business should select self-employment as their ‘main’ job, as this relates to their future plans.

The survey / caller will also ask what tasks you do in your job or main activity. Please give as much detail as possible as this will help us to understand the level of your role.

Are your contact details up to date?
