Absolvent*innenstudie des Bundesamtes für Statistik (BfS)

Every two years, the University of Bern assesses data from the Swiss Federal Statistical Office on graduates of Swiss higher education institutions (on display internal University - German versions only). The results show that graduates are happy with the branch of study they have chosen and with the University of Bern. Following their degree, they find employment which requires a university degree and, in most cases, is related to their studies. At least three quarters of graduates are employed one year after completing the second level of their studies (Master's); the unemployment rate is lower than the Swiss average. Bernese graduates view their studies as a very good basis for developing their personal skills and most also describe it as appropriate training. In all academic fields, holders of Master's degrees rate their theoretical and methodological specialist knowledge as good to outstanding. However, the non-subject-specific competences required when starting work often prove a very considerable challenge.

The faculties include the results of the surveys in the development of their study programs.
