More information

If you have any further queries on what it means to be an alumnus of Christ Church, or any other questions, please also don’t hesitate to contact the Alumni Team.

*Please be aware that approximately 15 months after you leave, the University is required by law to provide the most-up-to-date details it holds on you to the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA). This is to enable them to survey all graduates regarding their employment (or enrolment to further study) post-qualification. The University will therefore, attempt to contact you around five to six months after you qualify and again about 12 months after qualification to confirm your current contact details.
