The effects of the whole educational experience on graduate employability and further study

Abstract

A study of recent graduates was conducted in which their present status, campus life experiences, perceptions of their own performances in work or study, and suggestions on improving the curriculum design were explored. Altogether, 315 completed questionnaires were received and the result confirmed that students' campus involvement positively but weakly correlated with their perceived performances in both working and studying environments after graduation. To enhance students' involvement in attaining whole educational experience, group-based programmes involving peer activities are suggested.
