Description
Profile was a longitudinal study focusing on the situation of doctoral candidates and their postdoctoral professional careers. The sample consists of doctoral candidates at universities and funding organizations in Germany. The study started with the first survey in 2009 and finished in 2017. Overall, more than 10,000 doctoral candidates and 3,000 doctorate holders from all scientific fields are available for analysis. The questionnaire covers a number of topics including supervision, financing of the doctorate, mobility, courses attended, personality traits, occupational preferences and job placement after conferral of the doctorate among many more. The successor study of ProFile is Nacaps.
ProFile was initiated by the Institute for Research Information and Quality Assurance (Institut für Forschungsinformation und Qualitätssicherung, iFQ) which is now part of the German Centre for Higher Education Research and Science Studies (Deutsches Zentrum für Hochschul- und Wissenschaftsforschung, DZHW).
ProFile applies decision-making as well as goal/intention frameworks for studying careers.
