AQU Catalunya is presenting the results of the PhD Survey 2020 about the access to the labour market experienced by doctors graduating from Catalan universities. Since this study has been conducted every 3 years since 2008 is possible to observe trends both regarding labor market conditions and the satisfaction with PhD training. We will show as well how different economic sectors value PhDs when hiring.

Dr. Anna Prades is Head of Internationalisation and Knowledge Generation Department of AQU Catalunya, where she has been working since 2001. She has a degree in Psychology (1996) and a PhD in Pedagogy (2005) from the Universitat of Barcelona. She coordinates the graduate, master and PhD’s labor market survey, as well as the recent graduates’ satisfaction survey and the employers’ survey.
