Life after Sheffield

Follow-up surveys of Masters programme graduates at the Department of Information Studies have been conducted at regular intervals since 1973. The findings of these reviews are outlined here, with particular reference to graduates’ perceptions of the relevance and value of the programmes they followed to their subsequent professional employment, and to factors affecting their job satisfaction in first and subsequent posts. Overall, graduates surveyed commented favourably on the quality and relevance of the programmes while making positive suggestions as to how the programmes might be improved. Factors affecting job satisfaction varied, depending on job destinations and employment sector, as did the commonest causes of job dissatisfaction.
