Why Have a Graduate Survey?

RWTH Aachen is convinced that graduating from RWTH Aachen is an excellent ticket in the job market.  This conviction is supposed to be tested by the RWTH Graduate Survey.  The goal of the project is to use graduates' responses to improve the quality of academics.  While the first survey, completed as students are entering the job market, greatly serves to improve the quality of academic services, a follow-up survey offers valuable information about RWTH students' preparation for the first five years of their career.  An initial results report has been available to download since the start of the survey.

 

The survey is part of a nationwide implemented research porject, and is implemented annually with the support of the International Center for University Research at Kassel.
