Prospects
Prospects are the UK's largest graduate careers website, and provide a fantastic resource to find out more about graduate jobs and schemes, options for postgraduate study and funding, and paid internship opportunities. They also provide lots of tips and information to help you when applying for jobs, including CV and covering letter examples, interview guidance and hints and tips to help you make your application stand out.
We have collected a wide range of generic and sector specific websites to support you with your future, available via the link above.
The Graduate Outcomes survey is a national survey capturing information about the activities and perspectives of graduates 15 months after they finish their studies. The survey is managed and run by the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA).
All graduates who completed a course at the University of Suffolk will be invited to take part in the survey. Your participation in the survey is important as your responses will help our current and future students gain an insight into career destinations and development as well as help us to evaluate, plan and promote our courses, services and facilities.
