Did you start a business within two years of graduating?

If you are an OU graduate and started your own business within two years of graduating, you can take part in a short survey for the chance to win £60 in Amazon gift vouchers.

The OU takes part in an annual exercise, the Higher Education Business and Community Interaction Survey (HEBCIS) involving all UK universities, run by the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA).

HEBCIS collects information on universities’ interactions with businesses and the community. This information is collated to provide a picture of how universities are engaging with a wider audience and monitors the exchange of knowledge from universities to benefit both business and community members.

As part of HEBCIS the OU is asked to collect information about any graduates who have started up their own business within two years of graduating. Graduates completing the survey will be entered into a draw for two prizes of £60 in Amazon gift vouchers.

The survey will take less than 10 minutes to complete and will provide valuable information for the HEBCI survey.

You can start the survey by clicking the link below.

If you have any queries or would like to find out more about the HEBCI survey, please contact melanie.franklin@open.ac.uk
