Graduate Career Community
Those who are graduating this academic year or have graduated from a course in the last two years are invited to sign up to the Graduate Career Community.
The Graduate Career Community is a space where graduates can develop their skills, explore career options, hear from a wide collective of employers, learn more about themselves and their professional development and discover what careers may be a great fit for them.
Thinking of postgraduate study?
If you are thinking about doing postgraduate study after your first degree, it is important to find a postgraduate course that is right for you.
You can discuss your postgraduate study options with a Career Adviser, who will also be able to support you with the application process once your decision has been made.
To make an appointment to speak to an adviser, please email us at careers@kingston.ac.uk.
Kingston Alumni
Don't forget that when you graduate from Kingston University you become part of Kingston Alumni, a global community that offers a wide range of benefits.
Graduated more than two years ago?
We are only able to support graduates up to two years after they graduate, if you have graduated over two years ago you can receive support and access resources from the National Careers Service.
Graduate Outcomes Survey
15 months after you graduate you will be contacted in relation to the statutory Graduate Outcomes Survey by email or phone. The Graduate Outcomes Survey is a national survey of all UK university leavers and it lets us know what you're doing after you've graduated.
Taking the survey allows you to reflect on the value your studies have played in your current activities, how this compares to your original plans and how you're using skills you've picked up whilst in education.
We also want to understand the non-traditional routes that graduates are taking following education. Employment isn't the only successful outcome: we want to know what you do, and really understand what you see as fulfilling.
If you have updated your contact details since graduating, please let us know.
