Graduate Outcomes is the biggest UK annual social survey and captures the perspectives and status of recent graduates. All graduates who completed a course will be asked to take part in the survey approximately 15 months after they finish their studies. The survey aims to help current and future students gain an insight into career destinations and development.
We are pleased to announce that BGU has achieved excellent outcomes, climbing the ranks in several areas, year on year. Here are some of the key findings:
