Nearly 50,000 people have participated in the massive survey led by AQU Catalunya in collaboration with universities and higher artistic education centers on the employability of graduates three years after completing their studies. These people join the many thousands who have responded to this survey since 2001, the year in which the employability study began. The number of participants in the survey represents 51.1% of the total number of graduates to whom the questionnaire was sent. The fieldwork for the ninth edition of this massive Agency survey began on November 10, 2025, and ended on April 27, 2026.

During 2026, AQU Catalunya will publish a report analyzing the collected data broken down by bachelor’s degrees, master’s degrees, and doctorates. The study provides common indicators that serve to improve university education and also to offer this data to the general public so that future students can use it to make informed educational decisions. Catalan universities, in coordination with AQU Catalunya, have been conducting this survey since 2001.
