Tutorials and guidance

Students are assisted by a tutor each academic year. They are usually faculty lecturers who teach subjects in that particular year of study.

Some of tutor’s duties include:

• Assessing students individually or with a group on academic, personal and/or professional aspects.
• Speaking on their behalf to the Dean’s Office, the Secretariat and other faculty members.
• Managing and cooperating with actions to improve students’ progress in the Faculty.

The tutor is the person students can turn to when they have a problem or concern of any kind (learning, personal problems affecting their academic performance, new initiatives, proposals for improvement, etc.).

Access to employment is the most widely fulfilled expectation for people who have taken a postgraduate course at the University of Deusto.

The aim of this study is to determine the degree of student satisfaction with the completed postgraduate course. Likewise, it seeks to analyse how the postgraduate course has contributed to each student’s generic competences and to find out about their employability skills after completing the postgraduate programme. Therefore, a survey was conducted among students who completed their postgraduate course in 2022, which was answered by 65.1% of them.

The employment rate, i.e. the number of employed people in relation to the working-age labour force, was 94.9%, while the unemployment rate was 5.1%.

Among all those surveyed, slight differences in employability can be observed depending on the Master's degree, with the highest employment rate being in the Technical Area (96%).

Similarly, it is worth noting that employment is in line with the education level for almost all graduates, reaching 95.7%, and employment is related to their studies for 80.4% of graduates.

Based on the obtained results, it can be concluded that the postgraduate course was useful to complete the curriculum since it was a qualifying master's degree for 30.1%, and it was required to practise their profession, while it was useful to broaden their knowledge of the subject for 29% of the students. Moreover, almost 9 out of 10 people considered that the relationship between the studies received and the skills required in the world of work was medium-high. The average satisfaction with the postgraduate course was 7.6 out of 10.
