IULM confirms excellence in graduate education and employability

IULM University once again confirms the quality of its programmes and its effectiveness in preparing students for the world of work. This is what emerges from the XXVII AlmaLaurea Report 2025, which gives an image of the profile and employment status of Italian graduates. IULM stands out in several indicators, far exceeding national and regional averages in several strategic areas for students' educational and professional success.

• 82.7% among IULM Bachelor's degree graduates (national average: 58.5%)
• 90.9% among IULM Master's degree graduates (national average: 61.2%)

• 13.2% of IULM graduates had a study abroad experience recognized by the degree program (national average: 10.3%)
• As many as 75.9% worked during their studies, exceeding the national average(66.7%)

In particular, among master's degree graduates, 87.3 percent have done a curricular internship (compared to a national average of 63.4 percent), peaking at 92.7 percent when considering also internships done during the three-year period.

Numbers that testify to IULM's constant attention to the quality of teaching, environment and student-facing services.

Employment: excellent results one and five years after graduation

Among master's graduates one year after graduation:

• 84.6% are employed (national average: 82.7%)
• 60.1% consider the degree very effective for the work they did
