UNIVERSUM IN THE WORLD

ANNUAL RESEARCH

CONSULTING PROJECTS

3

Universum is an international organisation, with its headquarters

in Stockholm, Sweden and operates in the field

of employer branding and talent research. Our purpose is

to improve the communications between students, career services

and employers.

We believe that career choice is one of the most important

decisions in a student’s life. We therefore want to provide students

with information and support career services in

their role. We also believe that companies need to under-

stand student expectations, to adjust their offering and

working environment to attract potential candidates and

meet their resourcing needs.

ABOUT US

Our role is threefold: 1) we provide students with information on companies, 2) support

career services in their role and 3) help companies to develop their employer value.

THE QUESTIONNAIRE

Created with 24 years of experience,

extensive research within HR, focus groups and

communication with both our clients and students.

Global perspective - local insight.

Comprised of closed-ended questions with an

extensive list of alternatives and an ‘Other’ option.

DATA COLLECTION

Conducted via an on-line survey. The online link

was distributed primarily via university contacts (career

centers and the educational institutions).

WEIGHTING:

In our data collection we set targets by main

field of study and educational institution. In order

to provide our clients with reliable data in each market

and to get the questions distributions as close as

possible to the actual population distribution, we use

weighting based on population frequencies of the target

groups.
