graduate outcomes

Graduate Outcomes is a national survey capturing the activities and perspectives of graduates and is the biggest annual social survey in the UK. This survey allows current and future students to make informed choices and to help us to evaluate and promote our courses.

You will receive an email invitation to complete the survey approximately 15 months after you complete your course at ICMP. Please ensure we have your current contact details by updating your Careers+ profile with your personal email address, once you have completed your programme of study.

You can learn more about Graduate Outcomes in this video:

The Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) is the official Government agency for the collection, analysis and dissemination of quantitative information about higher education in the UK. Like other Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), ICMP has a statutory duty to pass certain personal data on current and former students to HESA. 

ICMP also supplies HESA with contact details of recent graduates, for use in the Graduate Outcomes survey. The following data collection notices have been produced by HESA for HEIs, explaining the purposes for which the data is gathered and the ways in which these are used. 

The Statement is updated annually and can be found here.

Note: Reference in this notice to 'we' and 'us' refers to the higher education provider which you attend/attended (i.e. ICMP).
