Every year, the University of Liège conducts a survey of its graduates. Introduced in 2010, this system is the most advanced evaluation tool of its kind in French-speaking Belgium. In particular, it contributes to improving the quality of teaching and optimizing the services offered to alumni.
As part of an overall approach to the evaluation of teaching, a generalized system for monitoring graduates has been in place at the Université de Liège since 2010.
This involves collecting data on alumni's career paths, one and five years after graduating with a Master's degree.
This data is then analyzed to measure the extent to which the University of Liège is fulfilling its educational mission and enhancing the value of its diplomas on the job market. For the 1-year post-master survey, the questions asked focus on the rate of professional integration, the characteristics of initial career orientations, levels of satisfaction with the training received at ULiège and continuing education needs; for the 5-year post-master survey, on the evolution of the professional career.
These surveys are used both externally and internally.
As a public university, transparency is an essential value for the Université de Liège, which regularly publishes the results of the PostMaster survey. This approach is in line with the University's civic mission to report to the community on its activities. By sharing its results, which are also very positive, the Université de Liège intends to make an active contribution to the general interest.
Internally, these surveys are part of a quality process implemented at ULiège. The questions address a number of themes that enable the institution to evaluate and evolve, for example:
The university community
The data collected via this survey contributes to the reflection on program improvement.

Career opportunities are one of the factors that young people take into account when choosing a course of study. The results of these surveys help to enrich the information available on studies, as well as the guidance process for young people.

Graduates
Surveys not only enable us to optimize our job-seeking services, they also provide food for thought about lifelong learning. In this way, the concrete needs expressed through this survey can lead to the implementation of new programs.
The results presented below are based on these surveys, and give an overview of the professional integration of our graduates from a global point of view (all Faculties included):
