This year, the career monitoring survey targets all students who graduated with a bachelor’s or master’s degree in 2021. The survey will be sent directly to alumni via email and will be open from October 7 to November 9. It takes about 15 minutes to complete the survey.
The survey is used to assess alumni employment, the skills gained through their studies, and their satisfaction with their degree. Alumni who graduated five years ago are an excellent group to provide insight into the impact of their education. Their responses provide valuable insights into the workforce that can be used to improve educational programs. The Ministry of Education and Culture also evaluates the institution’s performance based on these results, which directly impact its funding.
