Alumni Surveys
“Dresden Alumni Surveys”
Goals / Summary
Alumni surveys have been regularly executed at the TU Dresden since 1999. In doing so, information can be gathered about the futures and careers of these alumni of the TU Dresden. Furthermore, the university receives feedback – also through a retrospective assessment and rating of the study program from the alumni themselves – about the quality of the individual study programs as well as the university overall. As a result, the alumni surveys are an important component of quality assurance within the framework of the excellence initiative.
The fourth wave of surveys at the TU Dresden, in which the alumni were exclusively surveyed online, began in 2016. The initial survey is conducted approximately one or two years after completing the study program. After the initial survey the following professional whereabouts of the former students should be kept in sight. This takes the form of a panel design in which the same person is assessed five years after the initial survey. With the help of this panel design, judgements and opinions of alumni regarding their study program at the TU Dresden can be validated.
