Full-Time Equivalent Faculty PROF_TCE |
The conversion of time dedicated by professors to the universities is carried out. Per hour of teaching equivalent to 0.25 FTE, part-time equivalent to 0.5 FTE, and full-time to 1 FTE. |
Degree graduates GRAD_PREG |
Total students graduated from university undergraduate programs during each academic year. |
Quality index of the teaching and research staff ICAL_PDI |
This indicator is made taking into account the level of professor training. A rate is calculated = (graduates*5 + specialists*6 + masters*8 + doctors*10)/TotalFTE. This percentage or rate is already established in the Spanish university information system, but only for professors with doctoral training. |
Postgraduate graduates GRAD_POST |
Total students graduated from postgraduate programs (specializations, Masters, and Doctorates) during each academic year. |
