More than 9,800 students take part in AQU Catalunya’s large-scale survey with Catalan universities on graduate satisfaction
The responses will help identify areas for improvement in higher education programmes currently offered within the Catalan university system and in higher artistic education institutions.
More than 9,800 people have participated in the large-scale survey led by AQU Catalunya in collaboration with universities and higher artistic education institutions on graduate satisfaction one year after completing their studies. These respondents join the more than 118,000 who have taken part in this survey since 2015, the year the study Graduate Satisfaction Survey was launched.
The number of participants represents 29.7% of the total 33,000 recent graduates to whom the questionnaire was sent. This year’s survey included a new module of questions that will change annually to address issues related to current topics. In 2026, AQU Catalunya will publish a report analysing the combined data from the last three editions of this survey.
The study provides common indicators for improving programmes in areas such as satisfaction, learning, and services and facilities, among others. Since 2015 for bachelor’s degrees and since 2017 for master’s degrees, Catalan universities, in coordination with AQU Catalunya, have been conducting this survey. In 2019, higher artistic education programmes were incorporated for the first time.
