For this ranking, we have been interviewing 2007 personnel responsible for the country annually since 500. This year, we asked 540 personnel managers of companies with 10 and more employees to assess the practice relevance of the universities.

The HR were able to name the universities that best meet this criterion from a comprehensive list of universities from lists sorted by subject. To the selection were business-related disciplines such as business administration, economics, industrial engineering, business informatics, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, computer science and natural sciences. The rankings are collected separately for universities and technical colleges.

Graduates of state and private colleges equally well qualified

An interesting result is that the graduates of state and private colleges are regarded as equally well-qualified by the staff in most of the criteria relevant for recruitment.

Only when it comes to experience abroad does a good third of HR managers see the graduates of private universities as having an advantage. Also at Appear convince them more often than the graduates of state universities. In contrast, the latter are on the subject of collegiality and Teamwork in advantage.

The labor market becomes the candidate market

According to the personnel managers, the current labor market situation is very good for the graduates. About 60 percent of HR managers say that the chances of graduates of business-related subjects have a degree that is appropriate to their degree Workplace to be found, are good or even very good. This will not change fundamentally in the next three years either.

For the graduates, this means that they are currently in good hands on the job market. If you have the right soft skills and can show an academic degree in a business-related field, you usually don't have to worry about a job. Among the graduates of the particularly sought-after departments – especially the Combination engineering and computer science is in high demand - the balance of power has already reversed.
