Graduates who completed a higher education course between August and October 2022 (Cohort A) have received an email to the online survey. The deadline to complete the survey is 29 February 2024.
The Graduate Outcomes Survey, which is conducted by HESA (Higher Education Statistics Agency) via email or phone, takes place four times a year and graduates are split into four cohorts based on the end date of their studies. Surveys are based on a census week and for Cohort A, this is the first week of December.
How you can help
Throughout the year, the Alumni and Fundraising team keep graduates informed about the survey, encouraging graduates to update their contact details and reminding them that the survey will be taking place.
For this survey, please encourage graduates you are in touch with to take part in the survey and to reassure them that HESA is calling on behalf of the University of Greenwich. For all future surveys, please encourage graduates you are in touch with to update their details.
You can find more information about the survey on the Graduate Outcomes site.
About the survey
The survey asks graduates what they are doing 15 months after completing their degree and some more subjective questions about how they feel about their current situation and general well-being. There’s a core set of questions that they’ll need to answer so their response can be used, but in total the survey should take about ten minutes to complete online.
The survey is important for many reasons. Graduate responses will be crucial in allowing current and future students to make informed choices and help us to evaluate and promote our courses. They will also contribute to the university’s position in the league tables, provide sector insights and highlight trends in the graduate job market.
For a full and accurate representation of the success of our graduates in finding good jobs or progressing to further study, we need them to be aware of the survey and to have accurate and up-to-date contact details.
