The MPCA survey is prepared by the Warsaw University of Technology Career Services Office. The survey is technically managed and the report is drafted by the Warsaw University of Technology Center for Innovation and Technology Transfer Management (CZIiTT), Research and Analysis Department.

Significant changes have been introduced in the methodology of this year’s edition of the survey, so that it takes less time for the graduates to fill it out, with the information needs of the University still being met. An important change is the fact that the survey now differs depending on the participant’s professional experience and the number of years elapsed since their graduation.

The Monitoring of Professional Careers of WUT Alumni is a quantitative study carried out using an online survey form. 3211 graduates took part in this year’s edition.

The study was conducted in the following areas: Respondent’s profile, Education path, Study satisfaction, Graduates’ professional situation, Knowledge and skills, and Staying in touch with the university.

Additional general conclusions from the report:

• Younger alumni are less likely to work in larger companies (with more than 250 employees), representing a mere 57.7% of all the 2018–2020 graduates. For 2004 and earlier graduates, the figure was at 75%.
• Most of our alumni (87.3%) say they are happy with their lives.
