- Comments on the results of the survey of doctorate degree holders in the 2003 and 2004 cohorts in Catalonia
The results of the student surveys carried out in the Mirror programme, a joint project carried out in Catalonia, Sweden, Finland and Ireland, were released in the September 2006 bulletin. Just over two years later, the results of the survey of doctorate degree holders in the 2003 and 2004 cohorts in Catalonia are now being released, which, as to be expected, in overall terms coincide in certain aspects.
The first element that coincides in the results of both surveys is the high level of satisfaction with third cycle activities being carried out in Catalan universities, especially with the teaching staff in directing and supervisory activities. On the other hand, an outstanding feature in both surveys and one of the weakest aspects was the courses and their relevance to research being undertaken by PhD students.
