Take 10 minutes to shape the future. If, as a member of the OU family, you’re passionate about becoming an advocate of lifelong learning and the OU, help future OU students find fulfilment by taking part in the Graduate Outcomes survey. It’s run for the UK’s Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) amongst alumni from nearly all UK higher education institutions. You’ll receive your survey invitation around 15 months after completing your qualification.
Graduate Outcomes gives a picture of how OU graduates move on in their careers or further study and helps us help more future students achieve their study, career and personal goals. The Graduate Outcomes website tells you more about the survey, how to take part and how HESA protects your data.
We want all OU alumni to have their voice heard in the survey, representing the full diversity of the OU family, whatever your subject, age, location, background, ethnicity, identity, abilities or disabilities, health conditions and unique differences.
As well as asking you to be a voice of change for future students, we want to make sure that your OU qualification is helping you get to where you want to in life, whether that’s further study, higher employment or personal development. Some useful starting points for recent OU alumni:
- Successful transitions to career confident graduates – our page for new alumni showing how we can help you achieve your goals.
- Equality and diversity in the workplace gives advice about navigating workplace barriers due to factors such as ethnicity, disability, age, gender and sex, religion and criminal records.
- Considering postgraduate study is a recorded webinar and a collection of resources to help you find the right course for you.
