This presentation was made by General Secretary of Universities, D. José Alberto Díez de Castro, president of the ACSUG board of Directors, D.ª María Patrocinio Morrondo Pelayo and ACSUG executive director, D. José Eduardo López Pereira.

This summary compiles the results obtained from the twelve survey given to graduates of the Galician University System, performed in July 2017. The study population consists of SUG graduates during the 2013-2014 academic year (diplomas, bachelor’s degrees, engineering and architecture degrees, and technical engineering and architecture degrees), and degrees.

Sample represents 61.07% of the total population of graduates.

University Population Sample
Universidade da Coruña 2.512 1.536

Universidade de Vigo 2.495 1.678
SUG 8.403 5.132

 

For each qualification and campus (sub-population) a random sample was selected, determining the sample size by estimation of the proportion (with maximum variance) and setting a maximum permissible error rate of 10%, with a confidence level of 95%.

The results obtained in this study provide information of the aspects related to the transition of higher education to the labor market: university training, internships and jobs during the degree earned, mobility, knowledge of languages, access to employment, employment search routes, current situation, time spent finding work, type of contract and assessment of competencies required in employment.

This presentation was made by General Secretary of Universities, D. José Alberto Díez de Castro, president of ACSUG board of Directors, D.ª María Patrocinio Morrondo Pelayo and ACSUG executive director, D. José Eduardo López Pereira.

The presentation began with the welcome of the president of ACSUG, who highlighted the annual periodicity of these studies, placing ACSUG as the Quality Agency within the University System of Spain that has the longest time series of this type of studies. Likewise, she highlighted the importance of the results obtained that provide reliable, objective and comparable statistical data on employability and job placement in the labor market of university graduates in master's degrees, as well as the perception that graduates have about their academic training.

The president of the ACSUG board of Directors welcomed to the attendees and she talked about the importance of these surveys with an anual rate. The importance of these reports lies in the information collected and analysed in relation to two crucial stages in the life of a master’s degree graduate; their experience at university and in work. Then, the executive director of  ACSUG presented the main results obtained in this survey such as: reasons for studying the master, work previously master, workplace, salary, salary by gender, etc. He ended his presentation anayzing the trends obtained in the last four labor insertion studies.

Finally the program was closed by General Secretary of Universities, Don José Alberto Díez de Castro. He spoke the importance of these studies at the regional and national level. On the other hand, he highlighted the importance of having university studies to get employment. The higher the level studies is relationship the greater the employability. For this reason he emphasized “It’s a good investment to do a master”.

The main conclusions from these results are:

The primary reason they gave for studying the Master’s was to complement their academic education to obtain a greater specialisation in the labour market, accounting for 64.3%.
With respect to the employment status when they enrolled on the Master’s Degree, 58.2% of graduates had worked previously and 60.2% combined their job with studying for the Master’s Degree.
7.40 was the average number of months after completing the Master’s Degree before finding employment.
92.6% of graduates had worked after completing their Master’s Degree, of which 73.9% are currently in employment and 18,7% don’t work when the survey was conducted but worked before completing their Master’s Degree.
46.5% of graduates state that their current job is quite or very much related to the Master’s Degree they studied.
With respect to the geographic location of their job, the large majority of SUG Master’s graduate currently work in Galicia (86,8%) when the survey was conducted. 13.2% of graduates are working outside of the Galician region, 10.8% of these are employed in other parts of Spain and 2.4% are working abroad.
88.8% graduates are salaried employees, virtually all of them are registered with the Spanish Social Security system. Of the employed graduates, 40.1% have a permanent contract, and 46.1% have a temporary contract.
The average salary of Master’s Degree graduates is €1,251.70.
77.1% would study the same Master’s program again.

Presentation of the results about “Labor market insertion study of galician university system master’s graduates 2012-2013”

20/06/2018

On Thursday, 26th April at 12:00 hours at ACSUG will be presented the ACSUG´s results: “Labor market insertion study of Galician University System Master’s Graduates 2012-2013”. This presentation will be made by Secretario Xeral de Universidades, president of ACSUG board of Directors and ACSUG Director.

In 2013, ACSUG (Agency for Quality Assurance in the Galician University System) initiated a new project to analyze the employment situation of graduates who had earned official master's degrees within the Galician University System (SUG). To continue forward with this project,  ACSUG is publishing a summary of its fourth report. The current structure of university studies, organized as undergraduate, master's, and doctoral degrees after adaptation to the European Higher Education Area (EHEA), is creating a need to understand the academic and employment situations faced by graduates who have earned an official university master's degree, and such studies can also complement the information currently existing in relation to undergraduate degrees.

In this fourth report, we will analyze the results of the fourth survey, which was given in February and March 2016 to SUG graduates who had earned official master's degrees. The objectives of this study are analogous to those of the initial project: to provide information on SUG graduates who have earned official master's degrees, while focusing on two main themes: analysis of the evaluations given by the graduates to the organizational aspects and presentation of their master's degree programs, as well as their primary motivation for pursuing a master's degree; and analysis of their experience in the workplace, both before and after completing their master's degree. Finally, the report adds a comparative analysis of the results obtained for the graduates from the 2012-2013, 2011-2012, 2010-2011 and 2009-2010 academic years.
