In December 2022, around 50,000 people were invited to take part in the first survey of university graduates from the 2021 examination cohort. In contrast to similar surveys conducted by other institutions, the SLC surveys graduates from all over Germany. This provides a unique insight into the life situation of graduates from all types of higher education institutions, degrees and study programs nationwide. By providing the European graduate study EUROGRADUATE with german results, the SLC also enables a European comparison.
At the end of 2024, graduates from the 2021 examination cohort are surveyed for the second time. This time we would like to find out which paths university graduates have taken in the meantime. For example, we are interested in whether and how the transition to employment or further qualification has proceeded.
