Next Survey takes place for students who graduate in October 2025 and March 2026

Each year, DCU is required by the Higher Education Authority (HEA) to conduct a mandatory survey of our recent graduates regarding their employment status in the first year after graduation. The survey, called the Graduate Outcomes Survey, helps DCU and the HEA build an accurate picture of graduate employment and provides valuable insights into today’s labour market for graduates.

This is your chance to share what you’re up to after finishing your degree or postgraduate programme. Your responses, which are confidential, contribute to anonymised aggregate data for use in annual statistical publications, help current DCU students explore career options from degree and postgraduate programmes, support course accreditations, and provide valuable insights into today’s job market.

April 2026, relevant graduates to be surveyed will receive an email invitation to participate. It will take just five minutes, and upon completion, you could be in with a chance to win one of four €200 One-for-All Vouchers, and one of four €50 One-for-All vouchers.

A user-specific survey will be sent to your personal and DCU email addresses in April .Your responses will be kept confidential.

DCU Careers Service and the Quality and Institutional Insights Office manages the survey on behalf of DCU. If you have any questions about the survey, contact careers@dcu.ie
