Careers & alumni
What does life after graduation look like? How do our alumni feel about their studies and what they have learned, and where have they ended up?
University College alumni perspectives
The Research Centre for Education and the Labour Market conducted a survey among alumni of Dutch University Colleges in 2017. 86% of University College alumni would attend the same programme at the same university if they could choose again. After graduating, 89% pursues education in the form of a master’s programme. 88% felt their undergraduate programme successfully prepared them for further education.
93% of the University College alumni have a job and 76% are (very) satisfied with their jobs. Employed alumni mostly end up in research-related jobs, advisory jobs, educational jobs, commercial jobs and financial or business jobs.
Global Responsibility & Leadership alumni perspectives
Compared to a mono-disciplinary bachelor, a University College offers a broad study programme. The bachelor Global Responsibility & Leadership combines the best of both worlds: it offers you a wide variety of opportunities to explore different disciplines, but also the advantage of structured guidance, similar to a dedicated bachelor programme. This will benefit your choice for a master’s programme after graduation, as you will have a strong background related to one of the three majors. Below are some examples of programmes our alumni have enrolled in after GRL:
After getting your master’s degree, you can choose to apply for a PhD position or start working as a policy advisor, a consultant, an entrepreneur or as a development specialist in both the private or public sector. Given the fact that your bachelor is internationally orientated and recognised, you will have outstanding career perspectives in an international working environment.
