Sisällön kuvaus

The survey charted the employment situation and job placement of persons who had graduated with either a Master's degree or a Licentiate of Medicine degree from the University of Tampere in 2014. The survey was divided into four different parts; current employment status and employment history, factors affecting employment, happiness with the employment situation and the degree programmes and happiness with the alumni activity at the university of Tampere

The first part of the survey charted the current employment and the employment history of the participants. This included questions about the type and length of current employment and the type of employment the participants had during their studies. The second part of the survey charted which factors had been the most important in obtaining their current job and which factors may have hindered or prevented them from finding a job. The participants were also asked about the channels they used when looking for work

In the third part of the survey the participants were asked about their happiness with their current employment situation and their view on how their job corresponded with their education. The participants were also asked about their satisfaction with the degree programmes at the University of Tampere. Their survey also investigated their views on whether their education had provided them with useful skills and abilities (e.g. information seeking skills, social skills, language skills, problem solving skills, skills related to the field of study) that were relevant in their current job. Finally the participants were asked about their future plans for studying and their satisfaction with the Alumni activity at the University of Tampere.

Background variables included the respondent's gender, region, and information on the degree (degree programme, faculty, field of study, and time of starting studies).

Aineiston käytössä huomioitavaa

Open-ended variables were removed from the data with the exception of variables regarding internships, the university's educational provision, and alumni activity. The remaining open-ended responses were anonymised and the anonymised parts marked with [square brackets]. In the "degree programme" variable, the Master's programme in Theatre Arts (TeM) was categorised together with Master of Arts programmes (FM) due to a small number of students admitted to the Theatre Arts programme.
