Proud to be graduate - 95% are proud of their former university
The graduates of IMC Krems have a strong bond to their former university and show great interest in its development. The recommendation rate is 93%. In response to the question "Are you proud to be a graduate of IMC Krems" 95% of the alumni answered "Yes" and justified this mainly with the "very good reputation at home and abroad".
More than 80% stated that they are proud to be a graduate of IMC Krems because IMC Krems "was decisively positive for their professional career" or "because of its high acceptance in business and industry".
"Very well organised, structured and personal. Students are not reduced to enrollment numbers, but are seen as human beings and treated respectfully on the same level as the lecturers," is the comment of one of the graduates.
Good career prospects after graduating
In addition, the smooth career entry after completion of a full-time study and the very good professional opportunities of IMC Alumni on the national and international job market are once again confirmed. The graduates rate the extent to which the soft skills and specialist competencies they acquired during their studies are consistent with the professional requirements as very high.
Even after graduation, there continues to be a great deal of interest in what IMC Krems has to offer: two thirds want to be invited to specialist lectures, seminars and symposia and greatly appreciate these events. The desire to take part in short further education programmes at IMC FH Krems is expressed by more than half of those surveyed.
