Graduate Outcomes Survey

Every year we ask our students to take part in the Graduate Outcomes Survey to gauge the employment status and other activities undertaken by Middlesex alumni.

Graduates' answers help paint an honest picture of what early career life actually looks like. Not the glossy, one‑size‑fits‑all version - the real version.

Graduate outcome survey logo reading Graduate outcome survey

It's a national survey, and universities and colleges use this data to understand:

  • Which sectors people are entering
  • What career advice graduates need
  • Where graduates struggle most.

FAQs from our alumni

From Middlesex University: if you graduated after 1993

Request a replacement Certificate for £65 through our online store.

From other awarding bodies: if you graduated before 1993

If your Certificate is from before 1993 or from an institution that merged into Middlesex Polytechnic then we may not be able to issue a certificate. This is because there may not be sufficient records available.

To replace a certificate issued by CNAA (Council for National Academic Awards), which awarded the majority of pre-University qualifications, contact the Open University:

Open University Validation Service, CNAA Aftercare Service

Tel: +44 (0) 1908 332 852

Email: cicp-aftercare@open.ac.uk

There is a £15 charge for Diploma Supplements for students who completed their studies after 1993, and this can be purchased from our online store. If you're not sure if we are able to replace these for you, get in touch with UniHelp.

Please note that it might not be possible for us to issue a Diploma Supplement from before 1993, from an institution that merged from Middlesex Polytechnic or if you studied at a Partner Institution.

If an employer or recruiter asks for a verification of your qualification or dates of study, please ask them to send an email, along with your handwritten permission, to verifications@mdx.ac.uk.

Students from June 2020 have been issued with digital copies of their Certificate and Diploma Supplement. Third parties can request to verify these documents on our verification portal.

For further information on this service please contact digitaldocs@mdx.ac.uk.
