Graduate employment

Every year the university takes part in the national Graduate Outcomes survey which is administered by the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) and other approved third-party providers. The purpose of the survey is to contact recent graduates of UK Higher Education Institutions to find out what their career destination is approximately fifteen months after completing their studies.

Based on information from our 2019–20 leavers, and on full-time, first-degree, home graduates 91.4% of the survey population were in work or study fifteen months after completing their course at the 香港最快开奖现场直播资料.

About the Graduate Outcomes survey

Graduate Outcomes is the biggest UK annual social survey and captures the perspectives and current status of recent graduates. The survey is conducted at four points in the year (December, March, June and September) in order that graduates are surveyed as close to fifteen months after they leave their course as possible.

The survey has precise and strict methods for collecting data to ensure consistency across different universities.

Eligibility to take part in the survey is determined by the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA), but almost all our graduates are eligible to take part.

If you have any further questions about the Graduate Outcomes survey, please contact Clare Dawson, Head of Employability at c.f.dawson@brighton.ac.uk.
