1. Survey for Ethnic Minority Graduates in Wales
Page 1 of 2

Ethnic minority people are achieving more than ever in higher education. We want to better understand if those achievements are translating into success in the jobs market in Wales or if ethnic minority graduates face additional barriers. By ethnic minority, we mean any person with any heritage other than White British. This includes people with African or Asian heritage, people with mixed heritage, Gypsies, Travellers, or Roma and people from countries outside of the UK. If you are an ethnic minority person who has completed a higher education degree within the past five years (or will graduate within the next year), we would appreciate if you could take this short survey.

Your general feedback will be included in a report which will be published on EYST website and shared with partners and with public bodies such as Welsh Government. Our aim is that Welsh Government and HE institutions improve policies and practices for the benefit of ethnic minority students and graduates.

This survey is anonymous and we do not ask for your personal details. We will ask for some information about you at the end to monitor how well we are doing at reaching a variety of people.
