Student Mental Health Study 2022 - Key recommendations

Satisfaction guaranteed? How students rate their post-pandemic careers service.

According to the latest Cibyl Graduate Research UK survey – which had 65,432 respondents from 160 universities – half of students and graduates have used their careers service directly (47%) and another quarter (26%) have engaged with careers activities as part of their course.

The survey indicates that students and graduates are feeling more confident about their job prospects than they were in 2021, although there is still a good deal of apprehension. Two thirds (66%) of students think that it will be tough to get a graduate job in the following year, but this is down significantly on the four fifths (80%) who thought it would be in the 2021 survey.
