The purpose of the article is to determine the satisfaction of university graduates’ with the quality of training in educational programs. The research methodology is based on the characteristics of the quality of education, which can be expressed in certain quantitative indicators. Such measurable characteristics include traditional quantitative assessments of the level of knowledge gained, quantitative indicators of the demand for graduated specialists in the labor market and the degree of satisfaction with the training of the students themselves. The study included 120 graduates of the enlarged group of “Cultural studies and socio-cultural design” of the years 2018-2020. The following methods were used: survey methods-quantitative (questionnaire survey “Factors affecting the satisfaction of graduates quality of higher education”), and qualitative (interviewing). The proposed and tested methodology for measuring the satisfaction of university graduates with educational programs can become the basis for the development of a university system for monitoring the measurement of satisfaction of university graduates with educational programs and a university quality management system.Downloads
