The University of Eastern Finland will participate in the national career monitoring surveys in October 2026. These surveys collect information on graduates’ career paths, employment, and the relevance of university degrees in working life. The surveys are conducted by the Aarresaari Network, a collaboration between Finnish universities.
Career monitoring survey provides valuable information about the types of positions graduates have entered, the skills and competencies their studies have provided for working life, and how university education can be further developed. The results are also used in research and contribute, in part, to the funding of universities.
