Graduate Employment Survey 2023 NTU Statistics

This is a subsection of the Graduate Employment Survey blog post. The full blog post can be found here.

Introduction #

In this subsection, we will be analyzing the Graduate Employment Survey (GES) 2023 for Nanyang Technological University (NTU). The GES is an annual survey conducted by the 5 Autonomous Universities (AUs) in Singapore to survey the employment conditions of graduates about 6 months after their final examinations. The survey is conducted with the aim of providing a snapshot of the employment conditions of graduates from the various programs. We will be analyzing the GES 2023 for NTU, and providing insights and visualizations to better understand the employment conditions of graduates from NTU.

We will go through the overall statistics before doing a deeper dive on each of the faculty. Due to the large number of faculties, we will be exploring the different trends based on each of the faculties.
