The U-Ranking publishes a report on university graduate employment

Developed by the BBVA Foundation and the Valencian Institute of Economic Research (IVIE), the U-Ranking project has published an analysis of graduate employment in the Spanish university system by degree subject area and by university. 

The employment rate by degree subject area is based on data from the graduate employment survey by the Spanish National Statistics Institute. It analyses data such as the employment rate, the percentage of graduates whose monthly income is greater than €1,500 and the correspondence between employment and the level of education and between employment and the subject area or field of the degree.

The ranking by university has now incorporated data provided by the Spanish Ministry of Universities and the Social Security system, such as the percentage of graduates affiliated to the Social Security, the contribution base and the correspondence between jobs and the level of education considering the contribution group.

Bachelor’s degrees grouped by degree subject area are ranked as follows: 1st Computer Science; 2nd Engineering, Industry and Construction; 3rd Healthcare and Social Services; 4th-5th Agriculture, Livestock, Forestry, Fishing and Veterinary Science; 4th-5th Education; 6th Business, Administration and Law; 7th Sciences; 8th Social Sciences, Journalism and Documentation; 9th Services; and 10th Arts and Humanities. Master’s degrees are ranked as follows: 1st Computer Science; 2nd Engineering, Industry and Construction; 3rd Business, Administration and Law; 4th Healthcare and Social Services; 5th Education; 6th Services; 7th-8th Sciences; 7th-8th Agriculture, Livestock, Forestry, Fishing and Veterinary Science; 9th Social Sciences, Journalism and Documentation; and 10th Arts and Humanities. 

In the global ranking of universities, the UPC is ranked 2nd (2-4 band) with an index of 1.12.
