| Graduate Outcomes Survey |
|
|
|
We just wanted to remind you that you’ll be contacted roughly 15 months after finishing your course to ask you to take part in the Graduate Outcomes survey.
This survey is your chance to tell us what you’ve been doing since leaving the University. Whether it be employment, self-employment/freelancing, volunteering, further study, or something totally different; Graduate Outcomes is your chance to tell us all about it. It’s also an opportunity to say how your course prepared you for what you’re doing at the time and for your future career plans.
By completing your Graduate Outcomes survey, when invited to do so, you’ll be helping future applicants like past graduates will have helped you. It’s important we get as many responses as possible, as it also helps your department evaluate their courses.
If you have any questions about the Graduate Outcomes survey, please email graduateoutcomes@chester.ac.uk

Meet the Atlantic Girls, four ladies who are taking on one of the toughest challenges in the sporting world; a 3000-mile race across the Atlantic Ocean, including alumna – Millie.
The Talisker Whiskey Atlantic Challenge is an extreme endurance race, where individuals test their grit and determination against Mother Nature and compete to be the fastest crew across the 3000-mile route. This year's race will see 40 crews set off from San Sebastain La Gomera to English Harbour in Antiqua in December 2022.
During the race, these 4 women will be completely self-sufficient rowing in a routine of two hours on the oars and two hours off for 24 hours a day. Within their challenge, they are also promoting sustainable living and environmental changes for a healthy planet and healthy oceans. Campaigning for people to make even the smallest change to better impact the environment and offset carbon emissions.
As part of their challenge, they are also raising money for The Brain Tumour Charity.

| Graduate Success Story – Laura Reed’s experience |
|
|
|
In 2016, I commenced on my journey to start the next phase of my education studying for a Spanish BA (Hons) degree at University of Chester.
I feel incredibly fortunate for all the life experiences that I was afforded by University of Chester as part of my Spanish studies including a short placement to Costa Rica and a year in Gijón - Northern Spain working as an English Language Assistant for the British Council in two primary schools. I had an amazing time on both placements and in Chester, making lifelong friends and treasured memories along the way.
I had such an enjoyable time at University of Chester, and they were able to offer a course that was perfect for the next stage of my studies, so I decided to study for my MSc with them. Just before completing my Masters I was offered a graduate job as a Spanish speaking SEO Executive and I am now working for an international multi-award winning Digital Marketing Agency using both my Spanish and Digital Marketing skills learnt on my Undergraduate and Masters degree courses at Chester. Equipped with these and the life experiences I gained during my studies at Chester, I am embarking on a career path that I am very excited about and cannot wait to see what the future brings.
