This survey is framed within the labor market studies of the Galician University System (SUG) graduates, which are carried out regularly by ACSUG since 2001. The main objectives of this study are collection of information on the graduates’ perceptions on their education and their university; and collection of information on their search for employment and their current situation in the workplace.

This summary compiles the results obtained from the eleventh survey given to graduates of the Galician University System, performed in December 2015. The study population consists of SUG graduates during the 2012-2013 academic year (diplomas, bachelor’s degrees, engineering and architecture degrees, and technical engineering and architecture degrees), and degrees.

The results obtained in this study provide information of the aspects related to the transition of higher education to the labor market: university training, internships and jobs during the degree earned, mobility, knowledge of languages, access to employment, employment search routes, current situation, time spent finding work, type of contract and assessment of competencies required in employment.
