The UK Graduate Careers Survey
The UK Graduate Careers Survey is the largest independent survey of final year university students – and is based on face-to-face interviews with up to 15,000 finalists and on-campus research groups with student jobs hunters.
The survey gives graduate employers an exclusive insight into the career expectations and aspirations of new graduates, and identifies the most-effective recruitment promotions, events and resources that students use during their search for a graduate job.
