Compared to the DZHW graduate studies of previous years, special limitations apply to the 2017 graduate survey, which can be traced in the data and methods report. Central to these are severe limitations in the quality and usability of the activity, study, and career histories, as well as the fact that some variables were no longer available in their original form and the variable genesis remained unclear in some cases. In contrast to the earlier graduate panel data collected by DZHW, no episode data can be provided in the present 2017 graduate survey. Moreover, the 2017 graduate survey with data collection by ISTAT is not a longitudinal survey in panel design, as no unique panel ID of the respondents was collected. Overall, the 2017 graduate survey should not be considered without qualification as another cohort of the DZHW graduate studies. Rather, it is a graduate study conducted in the collaborative project in their context, which has the aforementioned limitations compared to the graduate studies of the earlier cohorts.
Nevertheless, the data package offers possibilities for secondary use for questions of national education monitoring, higher education governance and higher education research. For more information, see the Data and Methods Report.
Data Package Description
The 2017 graduate survey is conducted in the context of the DZHW graduate study series, which uses standardized surveys to collect information on the studies, career entry, career path and further qualification of university graduates. The first graduate panel was conducted in 1989, and since then every fourth cohort of graduates has been surveyed.
The 2017 graduate survey is the first collaborative project in the context of the DZHW graduate study series. The joint partners DZHW, INCHER, and ISTAT aim to take into account the interests of different user groups as comprehensively as possible. To this end, a jointly coordinated and redesigned instrument is to make it possible to take into account questions of both national education monitoring and higher education management and research (Fabian, Flöther & Reifenberg, 2021).
Thematically, the 2017 graduate survey focuses on the transition to the labor market (or to further academic qualifications) and an initial labor market placement. The collection of nationally representative data on the 2017 graduating class is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF).
