Employability data for ICT and BIO graduates (2025)
Employability data for ICT and BIO graduates (2025)
The UPF Engineering Innovation and Teaching Quality Space has once again conducted an analysis of the employment and continuation of studies of graduates of the ICT and Biomedical Engineering Degree of the 2025 class. This study considers the data of the profiles found and apparently updated on the social and professional network LinkedIn.
The 2025 class had 194 graduates, of whom 174 updated profiles have been identified; that is 89.7% of the total (+5.5% than in the previous year’s edition of this study).
Regarding the employability rate, 76.43% of graduates work approximately half a year after completing their studies. Although the rate remains high, it is down 7.6 points compared to the 2024 class. On the other hand, 25.29% of graduates have decided to continue their education, and among them, more than 93% do so by pursuing a master’s degree.
Finally, the proportion of graduates who study and work simultaneously has increased compared to 2024 in most degrees. However, in the degree in Mathematical Engineering in Data Science, the percentage has decreased from 13.64% to 4.76%, while in the degree in Telecommunications Network Engineering, it remains at 0%. It is worth noting the increase in the degree in Biomedical Engineering, which has gone from 15.38% to 21.05%. Regarding the Computer Science and Audiovisual degrees, the percentages have increased by approximately one percentage point in each case (from 3.33% to 4.88% and from 8.33% to 9.09%, respectively).
By degree, the following results stand out:
- The degree in Biomedical Engineering has the highest percentage of continuing studies: 50% of graduates continue their training, and 42.11% of the total combine it with work. In terms of employment, 68.42% have a job five months after graduation.
- The degree in Telecommunications Network Engineering has the highest employment rate, with 85% of graduates fully employed.
- The degree in Audiovisual Systems Engineering has the lowest percentage of updated LinkedIn profiles (78.57%). It is also the ICT degree with the lowest employability (69.7%), but it shows a higher proportion of continuing studies (33.33%) within the ICT field.
- In the Computer Engineering degree, 14.63% of graduates decide to continue their training, while 78.05% are working.
- Finally, in the degree in Mathematical Engineering in Data Science, 83.33% of graduates are working at the time of the analysis, and 16.67% are continuing their studies.
