This study addresses the need for scientific data regarding the careeroutcomes of University graduates by gathering a wide-range of information about their present employment and further studies. A survey consisting of 35 questions was delivered to year 2002 graduates. A total of 938 participants (49% of the graduate population) answered the survey. The results were analysed in stages as follows. The main findings of the study were first described and discussed. Subsequently, the most significant results were analysed according to gender, classification, age bracket, and faculties/ institutes. These findings are intended to aid relevant authorities to sustain the University’s contribution to Malta’s development. This study also aims to provide up-to-date information to Maltese career guidance officers and similar practitioners both within and outside educational institutions.
