PhD Alumni Study

How are PhD alumni from the University of Alberta contributing to Alberta's and Canada's economic and social sectors?

To answer this question, the U of A's Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research (FGSR) embarked on the Career Preparation and Outcomes Study. We systematically collected publicly available career information to get a picture of employment outcomes for 5000+ PhDs who graduated between 2005 and 2017. The study successfully and reliably secured career outcomes for 85 per cent of this population, a total of 4,365 U of A PhD graduates.
