Surveys to improve constantly

These data were taken from the survey sent to 4,514 graduates of official degree courses for the 2014/2015 academic year and answered by 878 people (19.5% of recipients). The aim of the questionnaire is to find out what students think once they have finished their official course studies and to detect possible areas for improvement.

Graduates responded to 47 questions grouped into five sections. This is the third time the survey has been run and this time certain questions were also asked by the other universities in Catalonia (public and private). This will help to generate common indicators for the whole Catalan university system to be presented on the Winddat portal.
