Euskadi, among the communities with the highest academic performance and access to quality employment
The Basque universities are consolidated as a reference for quality and diversity and stand out for their high academic performance and the strong integration of graduates into the labour market, as demonstrated by the latest reports on higher education in the Basque Country, the latest surveys carried out by Lanbide on the employment of students who completed their university studies in 2020, and the Spanish universities produced by the CYD Foundation.

The academic performance indicators are a reflection of the commitment to quality training in the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country (CAPV); the Basque Country ranks second among the Autonomous Communities with the highest percentage of graduates who complete their studies in the theoretical time envisaged (51.4 per cent compared with 42.7 per cent of the State's face-to-face universities) and fourth degree graduates (82.1 per cent and 74.8 per cent respectively).
It is also the second community with the highest percentage of students with degrees in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) (29 per cent), almost at the level of Asturias (29.5 per cent) and well above the State average (21 per cent). It also leads the ranking of engineering degrees, reaching 17 per cent, compared to 9 per cent of the State average.
Employment integration
The employment of graduates at Basque universities is one of the strengths of the Basque university system, according to the Basque Government's assessment of these data. The latest survey on Lanbide's employment integration, based on the 2020 promotion, shows that 88% of students have obtained a job adapted to their qualifications three years after completing their studies (an increase of 2% over the previous promotion) and 76% work in a job directly related to their qualifications. By the end of 2023, 85% of promotion in 2020 had employment, and 7% continued to train.
The "solid training" received by Basque students is, according to Lakua, the key to this data on employment integration. Thus, according to the report of the CYD Foundation, the Basque Country has the fourth highest percentage of employment adapted to the qualification of the State and the highest annual income for full-time work.
In this regard, it should also be noted that graduates with the best indicators of employment in the Basque Country are graduates in engineering, industry and construction , followed by computer science and health .
In addition, employment is becoming increasingly stable. According to Lanbide, 61% of graduates in 2020 have a fixed contract, 16 points higher than the previous year, the best figure in their history. Among women, stability has increased by 15 points, to 55%. The unemployment rate has also fallen to 8%, the best figure in the last decade.
