The Universum Swiss Student Survey

The results of the Swiss Student Survey reveal how students perceive companies/organizations as employers in Switzerland. The research functions as a basis for decision-making when choosing target groups, messages and channels for future employer branding campaigns, and as a control instrument for measuring the appeal a company/organization has over its specific target groups.

The rankings below reveal how attractive an employer is amongst students, and indicates a company’s position in relation to other ideal employers in the recruitment market. The rankings enable employers to track and set targets for measuring their level of employer attractiveness.

Number of participants in 2009: 6,535 respondents
Number of universities targeted in 2009: 19 leading universities
Field period: November 2008 to March 2009

Students are targeted separately according to their main field of study. The Universum Top 100 Ideal Employer Rankings are thus categorized as such. From the drop-down window below, please select the field of study which is of interest to you.
