Let's Keep the Dialogue Going
Supporting Neurodivergent students' learning and experience
You are invited to take part in this cross-departmental research study that aims to gather information about the experiences of neurodivergent students at the University of Warwick and to support students' learning and student experience with the co-creation of inclusive practice pedagogical recipes. Find out more.
Graduate Outcomes and Careers Support
About 15 months after you finish your course you will be invited to respond to the Graduate Outcomes survey.
This national survey collects information on the activities and perspectives of graduates. The anonymous results can be invaluable in helping future students consider potential career options, through resources including Discover Uni.
To make sure we can get in touch to invite you to complete the survey, please keep your contact details up-to-date by visiting the University’s Student Records Online.
And if you don’t have any plans yet for after your course, don’t worry. Visit the Careers website for ideas and resources and to talk to an adviser. You can access free careers support for life!
