The First Degree and Post-Graduate IIUM Tracer Study 2015 Report is the sixteenth Tracer Study project conducted by the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) under the purview of the Alumni and Global Network Division (AGND). This project is a substantial initiative and effort by AGND that receives a strong support from the University to publish a well comprehensive quantitative data report about IIUM’s graduates – both the First Degree and Post-Graduate – in collaboration with the Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE). Given that the Tracer Study series have yielded important employment related findings and facts that provide useful information to the University in particular and the nation in general, it is hoped that this particular Report will continue to provide useful, comprehensive and exhaustive information to all, particularly to IIUM and MOHE. A total of 4,894 graduates participated in the study, involving 3,599 first-degree graduates and 666 postgraduates. The respondents for the study were the graduates of the 31st IIUM Convocation. They comprised both undergraduates and postgraduates from all Kulliyyah. They include the Ahmad Ibrahim Kulliyyah of Laws (AIKOL), Human Science (HS), IIUM Institute of Islamic Banking and Finance (IIIBF), Islamic Revealed Knowledge (IRK), International Institute of Islamic Thought and Civilisation (ISTAC), Kulliyyah of Architecture and Environmental Design (KAED), Kulliyyah of Allied Health Science (KAHS), Kulliyyah of Economics and Management (KENMS), Kulliyyah of Information and Communication Technology (KICT), Kulliyyah of Dentistry (KOD), Kulliyyah of Engineering (KOE), Kulliyyah of Education (KOED), Kulliyyah of Medicine (KOM), Kulliyyah of Nursing (KON), Kulliyyah of Pharmacy (KOP) and Kulliyyah of Science (KOS). An online survey method was adopted in this study. The instrument used was an online questionnaire prepared by the Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE), a standard format used by all participating universities. The MOHE Tracer Study questionnaire comprised seven (7) different sections, which captured information related to the graduates’ (a) background information, (b) evaluation of programmes and services offered by the university/institution, (c) evaluation of effectiveness of study programme and self-readiness, (d) further studies, (e) current status, (f) employment, and (g) unemployment and others. The questionnaire was posted online a month prior to the 31st convocation ceremony which was held from 7th November to 9th November 2015. The respondents submitted their online questionnaire latest by 15th November 2015. The data were analysed using SPSS. For descriptive statistics, frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation and cross tabulation were used for the study.
