The University of Trieste confirms its markedly international and professional vocation and its attractiveness for students: the most dynamic and attractive university in the region, the University of Trieste guarantees its graduates a better salary and an employment performance above the national average, ensuring an excellent post-graduate transition.

This is the picture that emerges from the Almalaurea 2024 report, which examined about 300,000 graduates from 78 universities in 2023.

In detail, as regards work and salaries, the University of Trieste guarantees employment for more than 91.1% of master’s graduates (+1.1% compared to 2023) after five years of graduation (88.2% national figure) and 81.3% after one year (Italian average 75.7%).

77.2% of bachelor’s graduates find work twelve months after their degree, compared to 74.1% of the national average and 79% of Friuli Venezia Giulia.

Finally, the University of Trieste ensures a salary higher than the local and Italian average with € 1,437 for bachelor’s graduates and, for master’s graduates, € 1,513 after one year and € 1,826 after five.

41.5% of university graduates come from outside the region, compared to the regional average of 34.1% and the national average of 24.8%, with an excellent 4.5% coming from abroad (regional average 3.6%). Particular mention should be made of the number of foreign bachelor’s students: with its 3.9%, the University of Trieste exceeds the Italian average (3.2%).

More than 12.2% of bachelor’s graduates (+2.2% compared to 2023) undertake study experiences abroad, compared to 9.3% of FVG and 7.3% of the Italian average. Moreover, the total number of graduates who took a mobility period abroad recognised by their degree course also confirms the internationalisation of the academic experience promoted by UniTS: with an average of 11.9% (the previous year it stood at 9.5%) the University of Trieste is more than two percentage points higher than the national average (9.8%).

 The knowledge and skills acquired in Trieste and abroad result in an excellent rating for the effectiveness of the qualification, particularly in terms of its applicability within the relevant sector: more than 66% of bachelor’s graduates define their qualifications as ‘effective’, compared with the FVG average of 62% and 61.7% in Italy. This trend is also confirmed by master’s graduates, reaching more than 73% after one year of their degree (national average 69.5%; regional 71.7%).

In addition to its international vocation, UniTS confirms the markedly professional nature of its degree courses: in particular, 76.6% (an increase of 2.2% compared to 2023) of two-year master’s graduates (63.6% national; 70.5% regional) and almost 60.2% of integrated master’s graduates (national 58%; 59.3%) have, in fact, been able to benefit from a wide range of curricular internships offered to students by the university.

As for the relationship with the teaching staff, study workload, available facilities: more than 87.7% of students are satisfied with their overall university experience in Trieste.
