The national career monitoring survey is sent annually to graduates of University of Applied Sciences bachelors and masters degree who have completed their studies five years ago. The survey examines graduates' careers, placement in working life and satisfaction with their degree. The results of the survey will be used for the development of universities of applied sciences, career guidance and some of the questions will be used as a qualitative measure of employment.

The career monitoring survey is carried out annually in from October to November. A national career monitoring network of universities of applied sciences has been established to implement the survey and disseminate career monitoring data. CSC - Tieteen tietotekniikan keskus Oy is responsible for the technical implementation of the survey.

You can view the results of previous years' career monitoring surveys on the Education Statistic FInland's Vipunen service. Read more about the career monitoring survey and the activities of the career monitoring network on the From UAS to career - page.
