The Graduate Outcomes survey is undertaken 15 months after students have completed their studies. The first undergraduate cohort to be surveyed was for the 2017/18 academic year, the most recent was for 2018/19. The 2019/20 report is currently being produced. Once ready it will be available below.
This data will also be useful for the Annual Course Review.
