Graduate Outcomes survey
All universities are required to request the participation of recent graduates in a new national survey on behalf of the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA).
The Graduate Outcomes survey will capture the activities and perspectives of graduates. The responses to this Graduate Outcomes survey will be crucial in allowing current and future students to make informed choices and in helping universities to evaluate and promote their courses. The survey is owned by HESA, the Higher Education Statistics Agency, who have published more as well as .
You will be contacted within 15 months of completing your course to take part. To support the survey, we are required to hold accurate contact details for you, including a personal email address, at least one telephone number, and a postal address (this can be a parental/guardian address).
We would be very grateful if you could now review and update the details we currently hold for you.

We can lend you a gown and mortarboard and take your picture in our office at Mithras House against a plain wall and email it to you or you can bring along a friend to take some snaps for you. This service is available from Monday to Friday 10am–4pm and needs to be booked in advance.
Alternatively, if you would like a picture by the official graduation photographers, you can wait until the next graduation ceremony (February and July each year). We will sign you in to the venue and lend you robes so you can have photographs taken by . We will not charge you for the use of the robes but photography packages start from around £35.
