Almost half of the engineering students have not graduated three years after the scheduled study period for the program, according to the University Chancellor’s Office (UKÄ). Only 49 percent graduate from the higher education engineering program. Even in the subject teacher program, few graduate, 46 percent. These are the two groups of students with the lowest graduation rate.

Even the longer civil engineering education has a relatively low graduation rate. There, the figure is 54 percent, according to the authority.

Students on the nursing program’s various extension courses have the highest graduation rate. In the midwifery program, 92 percent had graduated within three years of the program’s normal time. In the specialist nursing program, the corresponding figure was 84 percent.
