Our students find employment

In spring 2023, we conducted an alumni survey to learn about the post-graduation activities of our former students. The results revealed that 32 percent of the alumni found employment before graduation, and 76 percent had secured employment within six months of graduating. The survey also highlighted some of the most valued skills by the alumni which include the ability to work independently, meet deadlines, and engage in critical reflection and discussion.

For more information: Career paths after graduation.
