Graduate Impact Survey
The results of the Erasmus Mundus Graduate Impact Survey 2007-2009:
Evaluation of EMMCs
What do new students and prospective students expect from a European masters programme, and how do Erasmus Mundus Masters Courses fulfil these expectations?
Which opportunities for career and personal development do EMMCs already offer and which will they be able to offer in the future?
Quality Assurance
For Erasmus Mundus, the assurance of long-term quality and relevance of its course programmes is of utmost importance.
Students’ and Alumni’s needs and expectations are essential, because it is their suggestions and contributions that can lead to the programme’s decisive improvement.
This is why the European Commission, in cooperation with the intercultural service provider ICUnet.AG, is performing a long-term evaluation study of the EMMCs.
Questions and More Questions
The study will last a period of four years in total. The target group of participants includes EMA members before and several years after completing their studies, academic advisors, and employers of EM alumni.
The study includes in-depth interviews as well as a comprehensive periodic online survey. All questioning is performed anonymously, and in strict observance of data protection regulations.
Identifying personal strengths
The survey contains questions regarding career perspectives and the development of technical skills through the EMMCs, but also those regarding personal development.
Participation in the study thus allows students or alumni the opportunity to have a profile of their personal strengths and cultural imprint produced, anonymously and without cost.
