Saxon Alumni Study

Goals

Since 2008, every five years the Competence Center for Education and University Research has been conducting graduate surveys at state universities and universities of applied sciences in the Free State of Saxony. In the course of the now third Saxon Alumni Study, three independent surveys are being realized. For the first survey, graduates of the examination years 2015 and 2016 were interviewed by the universities and universities of applied sciences in the business area of the SMWK. The main topics of this survey are again the retrospective evaluation of the studies, assessments on the acquisition of competences, the career entry and the first professional experiences. Furthermore, for the first time, there will be a separate initial survey of former students who graduated in teaching of the 2014 to 2017 examination years. Questions concerning regional mobility and the transition to the teaching profession will be the focus of this survey. In the first follow-up survey, the 2010 and 2011 cohorts who had already taken part in the 2013/14 initial survey will be asked about their future career paths. In addition, the questionnaire includes questions on the further education and training behavior as well as the current life situation of the graduates. In addition, for the first time there will be a second repeat survey of the examination years 2006 and 2007, which were already questioned about their career entry in the first and second Saxon Aumni Study.
