Prospects.ac.uk is the UK's busiest graduate careers website, with more than two million visitors every month. It’s aim is to provide information and guidance students and graduates need to make their own decisions about their career path.
They do this by providing data about what their predecessors - students who studied the same degree subject as them - did when they left university. This is only possible because of your responses to the Graduate Outcomes survey.
How is Graduate Outcomes data used?
Prospects' What can I do with my degree? series uses the results of the survey to provide a comprehensive overview of what careers a graduate might enter after studying a particular subject at university.
What types of job did others who studied this subject get? How many tend to go on to postgraduate study? What's the employment rate for graduates in this subject? Graduate Outcomes data answers these questions and more - giving current students and new graduates unparalleled insight into the options available to them.
Helping careers services to help you
Prospects also provides resources and support to university careers services, through Prospects Luminate.
Every year, Graduate Outcomes data is used to produce What do graduates do?, a comprehensive publication that sets out all the subject-by-subject data about what graduates are doing 15 months after leaving education. This report provides the most recent data and knowledge to ensure that the guidance that advisers are giving current students is the absolute best it can be.
The latest edition has launched (November 2024) using Graduate Outcomes survey responses from the class of 2021/22. Read more.
Why complete the survey?
By completing the Graduate Outcomes survey, you make a huge contribution to the work that Prospects does in supporting students and graduates with careers advice. Your data allows them to deliver content that helps others make their own decisions about their future careers.
In fact, if you used the Prospects website or spoke to a careers adviser when you were deciding what to do after graduating, it's very likely that Graduate Outcomes data played a part in the guidance that you were given.
As you know, the transition from education into the next stage of your career can be a difficult time. Taking part in the survey means you can help continue to support future students and graduates through this important period of their own careers.
