In 2025, the University of Trieste is still one of the most reputable and dynamic Italian academic institutions, combining quality of education, international openness and concrete employment prospects for its graduates. 

The 27th AlmaLaurea Report attests to this, a report analysing the performance of students who graduated in 2024. 

The University of Trieste stands out in terms of employment rates, with results above the national and regional averages. One year after graduation, 84.8% of bachelor’s degree graduates who have not continued their studies are employed, compared to 78.6% as the national average and 84.6% in Friuli Venezia Giulia. The net monthly salary is €1,522, higher than both the national average (€1,492) and the regional average (€1,497).

The situation is particularly positive for master's degree graduates, who are reported as having significantly higher average salaries and rates of employment, especially compared to the national average. One year after graduation, the graduate employment rate is 86.9% (78.6% nationally), with an average net monthly salary of €1,607 (€1,488 in Italy). Five years after graduation, employment reaches 93.0%, exceeding the regional and national figures (92.7% and 89.7% respectively), while the average monthly salary reaches €1, 988 euros (1,923 in FVG, 1,847 in Italy), with peaks of 2,014 euros among two-year master's degree graduates and 1,949 euros among integrated master’s degree graduates.

The data of UniTS graduates paints a picture of a university capable of attracting students from beyond regional and national borders. In fact, 41.5% of graduates come from outside the region, compared to a regional average of 33.8% and a national average of 24.5%, while 4.8% are foreign nationals (3.6% is the regional average). This is even more prevalent in two-year master's degree courses, where 47.9% of students come from other regions and 6% from other countries.

The quality of the education offered by UniTS is also reflected in the widespread use of curricular internships, which are provided for and recognised by the degree programmes. This has benefited 62.9% of graduates (compared to 61% nationally), with participation reaching 75.8% among master's degree students and 87.6% if experiences during their bachelor’s degree are included.

The data on international mobility is also excellent: 13.2% of graduates participated in a study abroad experience recognised by their degree programme, which is higher than both the national and regional averages (10.3% and 12.1% respectively). The figure is 13.2% among three-year graduates and 13% among master's degree graduates, rising to 18.7% if experiences gained during their bachelor’s degree are also included.

Finally, students confirm the high quality of the academic experience in Trieste: 88.7% say they are overall satisfied with their university experience, with very positive evaluations of their relationships with teachers (87%), workload (79.6%) and teaching facilities (84.7%).
