More than 9,800 people have participated in the mass survey led by AQU Catalunya in collaboration with universities and higher artistic education centres on the satisfaction of graduates one year after finishing their studies. These people join the more than 118,000 who have responded to this survey since 2015, the year the Satisfaction of recent graduates study began.

The number of participants in the survey represents 29,7% of the total number of recent graduates to whom the questionnaire was sent, which this year included a new module of questions that will change year after year to interest in related issues with current topics.

In 2025, AQU Catalunya will publish a report that analyses the grouped data from the last three editions of this survey. The survey provides common indicators for improving teaching in the areas of satisfaction, learning, services and facilities, among others. The Catalan universities, together with AQU Catalunya, have been conducting this survey since 2015 in the case of Bachelor's degree programmes and since 2017 in the case of Master's degree programmes. In 2019, for the first time, higher artistic courses were included in the survey.
