The Graduate Outcomes survey is the biggest annual social survey in the UK and captures the perspectives and current status of graduates. All graduates who completed a higher education course in the UK after August 2017 will be asked to take part in the survey 15 months after they finish their studies.
What is the survey about?
The survey looks to understand whether you’re in employment, have continued with further study or are doing something else and to what extent your qualification played a part. The term ‘outcomes’ in the survey’s name is key – we want to gain insight into whether the student experience delivered what was promised to you, from a learning and potential employment perspective. We don’t expect every path or destination to be totally straightforward!
Why take the survey?
As the biggest UK annual social survey, the collective graduate voice is powerful and will directly impact the future of education for prospective students. Join your fellow graduates and be part of the picture of education today!
Your response to the survey adds to the collective voice of graduates and the results will give current and future students an insight into career destinations and development.
You’ll also be helping the University of Liverpool understand the choices you’ve made since graduation and how this reflects the skills you developed whilst in education. This will ensure they’re promoting their courses accurately to prospective students.
We would be extremely grateful is you shared your perspectives 15 months after you finish your course, to help build a national picture that UK universities and colleges use to innovate their services. League tables, Prospects, The Guardian University Guide and The Complete University Guide, use Graduate Outcomes data to help students make decisions about their future.
The survey also has large-scale national significance. It helps the Government, charities, journalists, researchers and others to understand the higher education sector and the state of the graduate labour market.
