In close co-operation with the 13 participating universities, the Higher Education Research Group will analyse different administrative data sources (regarding students, graduates, exams and labour market) to develop a framework for the monitoring of students.
The aim of this project is to develop analytical tools for the tracking of students and to supply stakeholders (e.g. university quality management, directorate of studies, teaching staff, current as well as prospective students and the public) with relevant information on the determinants of student success, individual changes of study programme and study pace. The analysis will include different statistical (personal) characteristics, e.g. gender, age at entry into higher education, entry qualification etc., as well as employment. For reasons of data protection, personal data shall be grouped in a manner to preclude the identification of individual cases.
