They will also help our current and prospective students with insight into their potential career paths and progression routes based on what they have done. So, by completing the survey, they can join graduates across the country and be part of the picture of education today, and tomorrow.

Graduation is to celebrate you and your achievements! Wherever you are on your university journey Graduation is an event to look forward to after all your hard work and dedication to your studies.
