The Graduate Outcomes survey is a statutory process for all higher education providers and is delivered by HESA (Higher Education Statistics Agency) on behalf of UK higher education funding and regulatory bodies working with universities/colleges.

The operations and data collection element of the Graduate Outcomes survey will be undertaken by a third-party survey contractor who will work in collaboration with HESA, funding bodies and UK Higher Education providers.

In order that HESA is able to contact you to complete the survey, the ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ is required to securely pass on your contact details to HESA for the sole purpose of administering the Graduate Outcomes survey.

You will be contacted to complete the survey in one of the following ways:

• Email: the survey will be emailed to you - the email will come from Graduate Outcomes with your university or college name in the email address. These emails will contain a link to the online survey.
  
  
• Text messages: You will receive text reminders from 'GradOutcome'. These texts will contain a link to the online survey.
  
  
• Phone: If you receive a phone call regarding the survey, it will be from IFF Research who have been appointed to capture survey responses by phone.

When you are contacted to complete the survey will depend on when you completed your course.

You will be contacted to complete the Graduate Outcomes survey approximately 15 months after you complete your course (as shown in the table below).

Below is an example data collection timeline based on those who completed their course in 2022/23
