Graduate surveys
Why do we conduct graduate surveys?
For the University of Bremen, the feedback from its graduates is one of the most important sources for adapting conditions of study conditions to the needs of its students.
We invite our graduates to participate in the survey one to one and a half years after completion of their studies. The survey was designed for the purpose of quality assurance at the University of Bremen and is only used for this purpose.
The information obtained through these surveys offers a wide range of possible applications for the University’s development and further improvement to its study offers. Curriculum design, university didactics, or service facilities: we learn more about how our alumni evaluate their studies retrospectively and where improvements can be made.
Current Survey
The survey of the 2016 graduation cohort ended in June, 2018. The University of Bremen thanks all participants. A 30 % return rate is a great success for an online survey!
The departments have receives first reports and analyse the results. A university-wide analysis will follow within the next months. As established in the past, a brochure about the results will be publiched as well.
