Keeping in touch
| With you | When registering to graduate in absentia, there will have been the option to opt-in to hearing from the University after you leave. If you chose to stay in touch, for the most part, we’ll contact you using your personal email address (the one you registered to graduate with). Over time, keep us up to date with where your adventure is taking you. If your email or postal address change, you can let us know by completing our online form. |
| With Abertay | As a graduate, you have a one-stop-shop email address to direct all your queries to: alumni@abertay.ac.uk |
| With your Alumni Network | One of the perks of having a degree under your belt is that you're now a member of our global community full of inspirational alumni.

Graduate destination surveys
Graduate destination surveys are organised by our Careers Team, and are an important tool in helping us shape the future student experience. We rely on the information YOU provide to help inform and shape what our academic and support services look like for new and existing Abertay students.
Destination of Leavers Survey (6 months after graduation)
The Destination of Leavers Survey is run by Abertay's Career Service and gathers information about what you’re getting up to 6 months after graduation. We’re specifically interested in what job and sector you’re working in, and /or what further study opportunities you’ve taken on.
The information you provide will be anonymous, and will help us to inform current and future students of potential work and study opportunities after graduation. The information will also be used within internal departments for reporting purposes.
Graduate Outcomes Survey (15 months after graduation)
Graduate Outcomes is a national survey run by HESA that gathers insight into the status of graduates 15 months after finishing their studies. As well as capturing general information about employment / further study status, the survey asks participants to reflect on how their education and education provider have directly contributed to where they are now.
Graduate Support
The Careers Service
We’re still here if you need help with the first steps of your career. You have access to all services offered by our Careers Service for up to three years after graduating. This can be anything from expert advice on tweaking your CV to identifying career opportunities using our job board on Abertay Connect.
Bell Street Ventures
Bell Street Ventures (BSV) is the space for student and graduate enterprise at Abertay. Whether you’re starting a games company with your friends, changing the world through a social enterprise or setting yourself up as being self-employed so that you can bid for contracts from small businesses, BSV can help.
BSV have a fantastic range of resources, all to help you to take your ideas and turn them into reality. Or, if they don’t make sense financially yet, we can help you regroup and figure out the best way forward.
