Satisfaction index

 

Data and description

2016-17 2017-18 2018-19 2019-20 2020-21 2021-22
Student satisfaction 3,00 2,75 3,38 3,44 - 2,87
PDI satisfaction - 3,00 3,00 3,50 3,00 2,83
PAS satisfaction - 2,90 - 3,00 - -

Student, PDI and PAS satisfaction levels are rated on a scale of 1 to 4, where 1 means ‘not at all satisfied’ and 4 means ‘very satisfied’. They are obtained from the following surveys:

  • Survey of student satisfaction with the study programme (yearly)
  • Survey of satisfaction and identification of needs of teaching and research staff (PDI) (yearly)
  • Biennial survey of satisfaction and identification of needs of administrative and service staff (PAS) who have supported undergraduate and postgraduate studies.

 

Survey participation rates

 

Data and description

2016-17 2017-18 2018-19 2019-20 2020-21 2021-22
Student participation rate 29 % 24 % 36 % 22 % 14 % 23 %
PDI participation rate - 35 % 26 % 28 % 39 % 23 %
PAS participation rate - 77 % - 50 % - -

Only the data that meet a double criterion of representativeness have been considered valid: on one hand, reaching 4 answered surveys and, on the other hand, that the number of answered surveys is equal to or greater than 15% of the population

Employability

The main tools available we have, at the degree level, for collecting data on graduate employability are:
