Candidate survey, 2003

This report is a review of the survey "About studies and work in the Bergen region." The survey was commissioned from the University of Bergen, HiB and SiB. The purpose of this study is to increase the understanding about the job market for graduates in the Bergen area after graduation. The present study includes recent graduates from the University of Bergen (UiB) and Bergen University College (HiB) and gives an overall picture of the labor market situation for these. The graduates represent graduate and professional studies from the University of Bergen, HiB by professional studies, as well as candidates with undergraduate degree from the Faculty of Social Sciences (SV) and the Faculty of Arts (HF) at UiB. The majority of the candidates have studied full time. Candidates at UiB are more dissatisfied with the educational institution adaptations for the transition to the labor market. Most people with university education state that there is interest in the subjects that have been most important in the choice of study. For those who have taken professional education is the desire to make interesting work that has been most important. Three out of five would choose the same education if they had to choose today.
