What is the Graduate
Outcomes survey?
We ask graduates about their perspectives
and outcomes, 15 months after completing
their studies. This enables us to build a
national picture that UK universities and
colleges use to innovate and improve their
own services.
Prospects and The Complete University
Guide use Graduate Outcomes data to
help students like yourself make decisions
about their future. So, when the time
comes, make your voice count.

experience of future students.

Example: To make this slide hit home you might like to mention an example like Discover Uni. They likely used this site to help them choose their degree. Graduate Outcomes data is added to provide insights on expected salary, what graduates from that course are doing 15 months later and what we call the ‘graduate voice’ measures. These ask graduates to reflect on how meaningful or important they feel their activity to be, whether they are using the skills they gained and how they are progressing towards their future goals. So this is full circle moment – if they used this data to help them make decisions, then participating in the survey when the time comes completes the circle. Paying it forward to the students of tomorrow.
You may wish to also refer to:
Other national league tables which help students choose a provider.
Some of the key points on the next slide – for example their provider uses the insight to improve courses thus aiming to give students and graduate better employment outcomes.
