The Graduate Outcomes survey is a statutory, national survey managed by the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA). It captures information on what graduates are doing 15 months after their course has ended.
All graduates who completed an undergraduate or postgraduate course will be invited via email to complete the survey online roughly 15 months after they graduated.
It is very important that we keep up-to-date contact details for you. Please ensure you have updated these via University College Birmingham’s student portal.
