80% of the students find employment within three to six months after gradudation.
N= 547
Survey amongst IBMS alumni who graduated in 2008 or later.
IBMS alumni do not seem to have trouble in finding a job. Almost half of the responding alumni already had found a job at the moment of graduation and more than 80% of the alumni had a job within 6 months after graduation. This reflects the employability of alumni that graduated between 2008 and 2014, in other words, in a period of economic downfall.
This figure illustrates that the average alumnus start working with a gross income of approx 2200 euros, the balance of monthly start salaries was between 1800 – 2600 euros. More than 40% of the alumni earned more than 3600 euros at the time of the survey. (note: all alumni graduated after 2008)
NL requires a GMAT to enter Master programme
IBMS survey: national survey, 6 participating universities of applied sciences N= 547. National: 45,9% continues, HvA: 45,5%.
Different requirements for TMA and IBMS, these are set by government, not by us!!!! So IBMS in Groningen has the same requirements, TMA in Rotterdam has the same requirements.
On average 40% of the registrants does not enrol due to either other choice or not passing the high school exams.
HAVO GPA 8 or higher has guaranteed placement
