Graduate Training Quality Follow-up Survey

Company overview

Yunnan University of Chinese Medicine was established in 1960 and is one of the second batch of undergraduate institutions for traditional Chinese medicine in the country. As of October 2017, the university had a total of 10,726 full-time students, including 9,736 undergraduates and 990 postgraduate students

Research background

To enhance graduate quality and refine the talent development mechanism, the university needs to systematically assess the performance of graduates after internship and employment, promptly identifying gaps in teaching integration and curriculum design, in order to provide reference for curriculum reform and adjustments in talent structure. The university has decided to establish a continuous graduate follow-up investigation system as a key feedback mechanism for teaching quality improvement.

Research scope

In September 2016, CEIDEA Research was commissioned by Yunnan University of Chinese Medicine to conduct a systematic survey of recent graduates through telephone interviews and email questionnaires. The study primarily focused on graduates' career development, internship experience quality, proficiency in professional skills, job adaptability, and their moral character and work attitude. Feedback from employers was also collected to evaluate actual workplace performance and areas for improvement.

Expected outcomes

The research report will present a comprehensive picture of the university's talent development effectiveness based on data analysis from both graduates and employers, identifying the alignment and gaps between teaching content and job market demands. By offering recommendations for optimizing major structures, course design, and teaching methodologies, the study aims to help the university continuously enhance graduates' overall capabilities and employment competitiveness, and to establish a sustainable mechanism of teaching—training—feedback—improvement.
