It\u2019s not just psychology students who have been misinformed on their post-graduate job prospects. It turns out that the student information website has made similar mistakes in calculating the job prospects of all university students.<\/p>\n

Studiekeuze123.nl\u2019s information website now provides the following warning with each academic study discussed: \u2018PLEASE NOTE: The job prospect figure presented on this Studie in Cijfers<\/em> student information website is incorrect.\u2019<\/p>\n

Incorrect psychology figures<\/h3>

The warning is a response to an investigation carried out by TV show De Monitor<\/em>, whose journalists refused to believe that 86 percent of all psychology graduates would find an academic-level job within a year and a half of graduating, as the student information website reported.<\/p>\n

In reality, De Monitor<\/em> found, only 55 percent of psychology graduates currently hold an academic-level job. Sixteen percent have an HBO-level job, whereas the remaining graduates are either unemployed (15 percent) or working at a lower or unknown level (14 percent). The authors of the student information website were found to have used the wrong indicator<\/a>.<\/p>\n
