Alumni Survey

Every few years, we check in with our global alumni community to learn more about your experiences, your interests, and what matters most to you.

Last year, thousands of alumni shared their voices, stories, and ideas — helping us shape the future of alumni engagement at the University.

Thank you to the nearly 3000 generous alumni who took the time to share your thoughts, stories, and big ideas with us in our 2024 Alumni Survey. We asked questions and you answered! Here’s what we learned…

*Please note: 'alumni' in the survey infographics and webpages refers to the group of survey respondents.

The 2024 Alumni Survey Results Are In!

While most of our alumni are based in Australia, we were thrilled to hear from alumni across Asia, the Middle East, and beyond. The largest respondent group was aged 26–35, with 59% identifying as female, and Newcastle Business School alumni were the most engaged.
 

Pride in being part of the University community remains extremely high at 94%, and more than half of you would happily recommend us to future students, making you our greatest ambassadors!

More of you are thriving in your careers than ever — 84% of alumni are employed (up from 77% in 2021).
 You want to stay connected with the University - especially those of you aged 36–55. We hear you and we’re on it!

Lifelong learning is a big deal. With a strong interest in discounted courses, professional development opportunities, and access to University resources.

You’re also keen to connect, whether that’s networking with alumni in your industry or catching up with old classmates at a reunion.

Giving back comes naturally to our alumni community. Many of you are ready to mentor students, speak at events, offer work experience, or support scholarships and research through philanthropy.

From professional development opportunities and cutting-edge research to new courses and pathways for further study, you're eager to keep learning and growing.

And when it comes to staying connected?
You enjoy hearing from us through the Alumni eNewsletter and following along on social media.
