Alumni survey Master's level

In 2021, the Department of Business Studies conducted an alumni survey among those who had finished their education on one of our Master's Programmes, during the period autumn 2016 to sprin 2020. The Programmes included in the survey were the Master's Programme in Business and Management, the Master's Programme in Accounting and Financial Management, the Master's Programme in Sustainable Management, and the Master's Programme in Entrepreneurship. The results show that the students, to a high degree, would recommend the Programme to others.
