92% of university graduates are either working or studying.

Sixty-nine percent of alumni of Degree at the University of Navarra are working and 23% are engaged in other activities such as studying or taking competitive examinations, that is, 92% are employed. As for master's degree students , 87.4% are employed. These are some of the data from the latest study carried out each year by the Ikerfel Institute of Market Research and Strategic Marketing for the University. It has been carried out during February and April of this year and 3,115 graduates (1,989 from Degree and 1,126 from master's degrees) who completed their studies in 2021, 2022 and 2023 have participated.

The report reveals that 68.6% of the alumni of Degree and 87% of the master's degree students have taken less than six months to find a job after graduation. "These are very positive data that show that the training and skills provided by the University contribute to reducing the time it takes to find a job," says Alfonso Vericat, director of the Internship and Employment Service of the University of Navarra.

Of the graduates of Degree who are employed in other activities, 52% are completing their training with a master's degree or course (30.5% of them have chosen the University of Navarra for their postgraduate studies). "The percentage of master's graduates who work in Madrid stands out, reaching 54.4%, while in the study carried out in 2022 it was 26.5%," indicates Vericat. As for graduates of Degree, 86.6% work in Spain (39% in Madrid and 33.5% in Navarra).

Quality training and internships

The alumni of Degree and the Master's degree give a positive evaluation of the studies they have taken: the former with 8.27/10 and the latter with 8.32/10. They especially emphasize the "human and theoretical training", as well as the "suitability of the Study program for acquiring the profile graduation". These aspects are also very much taken into account by the companies surveyed as employers. When asked about the "overall quality of the degree program", they give it a score of 8.31/10. Precisely, 61.4% of the incorporations they have had in the last three years correspond to alumni from the University of Navarra.

"In addition to theoretical training, the study highlights the fact that internships during the course of study have a great influence on finding employment. They finish their studies with a clearer idea of what it means to work in a company," says Vericat. According to the study, 78% of those surveyed who completed a Degree at the academic center said they had done an internship during their university studies. "Another relevant fact is that 82.9% of Degree graduates and 88.8% of master's degree graduates are satisfied with their current job," he adds.
