I detta examensarbete undersöker jag hur institutionerna inom Samhällsvetenskapliga fakulteten vid Göteborgs universitet arbetar med Alumnverksamhet, det vill säga kontakten med före detta studenter. Jag har intervjuat ansvariga för Alumnverksamheten på respektive institution, samt fakultetens utbildningsansvarige. Genom detta ställer jag det konkreta arbetet på institutionsnivå och relationen till centrala beslut och riktlinjer. Syftet är att belysa hur institutionerna bedriver Alumnverksamhet och relationen till det rektorsbeslut som fattades rörande Alumnverksamheten 2005. Resultatet jag fann var att alla institutioner arbetar med Alumnverksamhet i någon mån, men i olika grad och på olika sätt även om många likheter finns.

The Master of Science in Energy Systems Engineering program at Uppsala University started in 2000 and 221 students has graduated since. This master thesis aims to answer what competencies Alumni considers most important for successful professional practice. It also seeks to find out how these competencies are reflected in the program to identify potential gaps between importance and how the competencies are being prepared. With inspiration from similar research a method has been developed consisting of two steps: (1) A survey and (2) interviews with Alumni. The Alumni survey rates the professional importance of 13 competencies and how well the corresponding competency is prepared in the program.
