University of Aberdeen Careers and Employability Service

Students and graduates, your career plans matter to more than just you.

Cibyl's Graduate Research survey, run in partnership with universities across the country, asks about the career decisions you're facing right now. Whether you've already got a plan or you're still weighing up options, Cibyl wants to hear what you have to say.

Your answers help careers services build better support and give employers a clearer view of the student experience so they can shape their recruitment and graduate programmes to match.

Everyone who takes part gets a free personalised career personality report.

Take the 15-minute survey and enter the prize draw for the chance to win prizes of up to £1,000.
