Graduates
As a University of Bradford graduate you are welcome to use our all our services for up to five years after you finish your studies.
We also have our Bradford Graduate Talent Programme and a Step-by-Step Guide specifically designed for graduating students to help with the transition into life beyond university.
Bradford Graduate Talent
Bradford Graduate Talent offers support for those who graduated with an undergraduate degree from the University of Bradford.
See the details of our offer to help you get ready for life after uni.
Graduate Outcomes
The Graduate Outcomes survey is a national survey capturing information about the activities and perspectives of graduates 15 months after they finish their studies. All graduates who completed a course will be asked to take part in the survey. Your responses will help current and future students gain an insight into career destinations and development and will also help your university or college to evaluate and promote their courses.
The survey is also of national significance as it allows policy makers, charities, journalists, researchers and others to understand the higher education sector and the state of the graduate labour market.
Find out more about the Graduate Outcomes Survey on the Graduate Outcomes website.
Watch the video to learn more about the survey.
