Vocational integration of Master's graduates in universities and similar institutions – Vocational integration survey

This information is based on data collected as part of the national data collection operation on the professional integration of Master’s graduates.

_Data on 2020 graduates can be explored on the [MESR] website (https://data.enseignementsup-recherche.gouv.fr/pages/insertion_professionnelle_master/)

**2 new indicators were added for the 2020 session:**

**Employment rate**: share of employed graduates among all active (employment or research) or inactive graduates
**Employment rate in France**: share of graduates in paid employment in France among all active (employment or research) or inactive graduates
The insertion rate, communicated for several years, does not take into account the inactive.

The insertion rate is defined as the percentage of graduates in any job out of all graduates in the labour market. It is calculated on graduates of French nationality, from initial training, who entered the labour market immediately and permanently after graduation in 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 or 2020.

The information collected on the salary relates to the net salary, including bonuses. The wages displayed correspond to the median values on full-time jobs. On the basis of these values, an annual gross salary is estimated, on the basis of a flat rate of change from net to gross of 1.3 (average data on private sector salaries).

The survey was carried out by universities under a charter whose provisions aim to ensure comparability of results between institutions. The overall coordination and operation of the survey is the responsibility of the Ministry of Higher Education and Research.
