The DHZW Graduate Panel series investigates the long-term educational and professional trajectories of higher education graduates in Germany. The 2013 Graduate Panel recruited university graduates who obtained their first degree or a Master's degree from a German university in 2013. At baseline, over 8,000 graduates participated in the study. Data were collected from participants twice: one year after graduation between 2014 and 2015, and again four years later between 2018 and 2019.
