Analysis of Graduates of Universities of Applied Sciences

3s Consulting Ltd. brings along years of experience in conceptualising and undertaking analysis of graduates which have proved as feedback instruments in order to assure quality of study programs of universities of applied sciences in Austria.

Full sample surveys (online questionnaires) allow drawing conclusions on the integration of graduates of different study programs of universities of applied sciences in the labour market. The educational background and the choice of the study program, career entry and the current occupation are items asked in the questionnaire, but also the validation of the study program by the graduates retrospectively is a major part of the survey. If such analyses are implemented regularly (e.g. every two years) also longitudinal analysis and comparisons are possible. 3s also offers a “graduate benchmark” where the validation of study programs by the graduates can be benchmarked with those of other, comparable study programs. This allows a comparison of indicators – the validation of a study program in comparison to other study offers. 3s also supports universities of applied sciences in their alumni activities.
