Graduate Outcomes survey
About 15 months after you finish your course you will be invited to respond to the Graduate Outcomes survey. This national survey collects information on the activities and perspectives of graduates.
The anonymous results can be invaluable in helping future students consider potential career options, through resources including unistats.ac.uk. All universities are required to support the survey, which is owned by the Higher Education Statistics Agency.
You will receive an email from TheUniversityofWarwick@graduateoutcomes.ac.uk and may also be called by IFF Research.
Your contact details will be used for the purposes of the survey on the grounds of public interest under the General Data Protection Regulation, as explained in HESA’s student collection notice.
Futuretrack Cohort
Are you a member of the Futuretrack cohort, who successfully applied for an undergraduate place in 2005-6 and started their studies in 2006, or after a gap year in 2007?
If so, you probably remember filling in a series of questionnaires about your experience as a student and your career decisions. The research team at Warwick is now following members of this cohort for a fifth stage, to investigate how your careers have progressed since then.
If you started out at university in 2006 and recall completing the survey in the past, and have not yet participated at Stage 5, check your email SPAM folder to see if you’ve been sent a personal link to the survey. If you haven't received a personal email, you can still complete the survey
