Achieved Improvements

The improvements in the Bachelor’s Degree in Economics that have been achieved since the academic year 2012-13 can be found in the following link (in Spanish).

Complaints and grievances

The complaints and suggestions mailbox on the website of the Faculty has been linked to an online form. Each form is delivered directly to the Vice Dean for Graduate Studies, who transfers the complaint or suggestion to the corresponding person (herself, other Vice Deans, Degree Coordinators) in order to identify and carry out the necessary improvement or correction.

Another frequently used channel to make suggestions, complaints and grievances is through the Degree Coordinators. The Degree Coordinator directly handles the suggestions and complaints about which (s)he has authority, and transfers to the corresponding Vice Dean those that require action by other instances.

Employability of graduates

The Faculty of Economics & Business is well aware of the importance of measuring the degree of employability of its graduates. It has therefore created the Observatory of Economics and Business within the framework of a Project of Innovation and Improvement of Teaching Quality (“PIMCD”) of the Complutense University. In addition, during the academic year 2018/19, the Innovation Project number 285 entitled “Improvement of the IQGSC of the center: Analysis of student satisfaction with professor and subjects, graduates and employers” was started. One of the aims of this initiative is to obtain and analyze official data on the employment of the Faculty’s graduates.

Of the total number of Economics graduates that responded, 79% are currently working (15% only work and 64% study and work simultaneously). Another 7% currently continue their studies full-time. Of the 64% of graduates who study and work simultaneously, 94% are taking a Master. The remaining 6% are taking an E-Commerce course or preparing an opposition. Of the graduates who work, 89% have a third-party job, 5.5% are doing internships and 5.5% are self-employed. 72% have an indefinite contract and 28% have a temporary contract.
