Data on our University's graduates is held in the Graduate Information System, operated by the Department of Information Technologies. According to the system's 2026 figures, our University has produced 93,467 graduates to date.
More than half of our graduates hold an associate degree. The table reflects directly the structure of our University, whose vocational schools are spread across the district campuses.
| Degree Level | Women | Men | Total | Share |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Associate | 25,324 | 22,605 | 47,929 | 51.3% |
| Bachelor's | 21,900 | 14,615 | 36,515 | 39.1% |
| Postgraduate | 1,440 | 1,176 | 2,616 | 2.8% |
| Total | 52,796 | 40,671 | 93,467 | 100% |
56.5 per cent of our graduates are women. This holds not only for the overall total but at each of the three degree levels. The difference is most pronounced at bachelor's level: of 36,515 graduates, 21,900 are women and 14,615 are men.
Of the 3,913 students who graduated in 2026, 2,329 completed associate degree programmes, 1,371 bachelor's programmes and 213 postgraduate programmes.
Among the 81,659 graduates for whom unit-level data is available, vocational schools rank first with 47,929. Thirteen faculties account for 29,706 graduates, the largest number being the Faculty of Education with 11,789. Schools account for 3,725 and the State Conservatory for 299.
Whether a programme has met its educational objectives cannot be judged from course content and student grades alone. Where a graduate is employed, how far they can use the competences they acquired in working life, and how they assess the programme in retrospect are primary evidence in verifying programme outcomes. Graduate tracking is therefore one of the core mechanisms expected of institutions under both the Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance in the European Higher Education Area and the evaluation criteria of the Higher Education Quality Council.
