Introduction to the Observatory

The Student Life Observatory, Surveys and Statistics (OVEES) helps to build an understanding of the student population and contributes to the university’s strategic management within the Strategic Management and Quality Directorate.

It produces data, information and quantitative and qualitative analyses on student life, student success, graduates’ entry into the labour market, and teaching and training programmes.

In collaboration with the heads of departments and the programme or course coordinators, he carries out surveys on these topics.

It also produces monitoring reports, dashboards and management support tools relating to training, human resources and finance.

To monitor how UG graduates enter the world of work: to find out what becomes of them after completing their studies in terms of entering the labour market, seeking employment and continuing their studies; to examine their integration into the labour market in the years following graduation; to identify the professional fields into which UG graduates enter; and to characterise their employment in terms of sectors of activity, occupations, roles and types of contract…
To evaluate the University of Grenoble’s courses and teaching: to gauge student satisfaction with the organisation of the courses and the teaching content; to assess students’ awareness of and use of the services and resources made available to them; and to understand their academic working methods.
To produce decision-making tools: to develop indicators that the University’s governing bodies and constituent parts can use to inform their decision-making regarding the organisation of teaching, the development of study programmes and the improvement of student life.
