This is one of the data that are collected in the study of labor insertion of UMU graduates in promotions 2011/12 and 2012/13, a report that has been presented today in Convalescence by the rector of the institution, José Orihuela.
In this study, carried out by the Guidance and Employment Service (COIE) of the University and sponsored by Banco Santander, the 1,876 graduates surveyed gave an average of 3.8 (on a scale of 1-5) to their degree of satisfaction with The degree obtained in the UMU.

The report also shows that most of the graduates of the UMU, 70%, choose the career, mainly for vocational reasons, especially among those who take a degree in the area of ​​Art and Humanities, where the vocation Reaches 91.8%.
The graduates also recognize the great usefulness of the programs of external practices and of mobility for their labor insertion, although there is an agreement among them in the consideration that the University should pay more attention to the professional approach of the studies.
Graduates who, to a greater extent, believe that their studies have facilitated their professional development, belong to Engineering and Health Sciences degrees.

In this sense, the great proportion of graduates of the Engineering area that entered the market before the end of the career, 39% stands out.
However, there is an increase in the proportion of those who have not yet joined the labor market, although this is partly explained by the expansion of the training stage, a situation most common among Science, Art and Humanities graduates.

The most positive result is among the graduates of Health Sciences and Engineering, being much lower in the rest of areas.
Finally, the survey reflects an improvement in working conditions, both in terms of recruitment, as well as in the salary and adjustment of employment.
Despite this, part-time work and low levels of pay continue to play a significant role, a trend that was already staggering in previous studies.
