Graduate Outcomes Survey
All HEI’s in Ireland undertake a Graduate Outcomes Survey (GOS) each year to establish what paths graduates have taken and receive valuable feedback and insights. This survey is typically done approximately 9 months after graduation around May/June.
Next year when you receive the GOS survey from DKIT, please take a few moments to complete & submit. Your input is valued.
