Abstract
In today�s knowledge society, in which university graduates are required to obtain new abilities to adjust to the demands of the labour market, the figure of the �flexible professional� has emerged. Universities are not immune to these changes and are proposing modifications to the curricula. In this paper, we attempt to depict the views of university graduates regarding their university five years after completing their studies. Information about graduates� educational experience is crucial to educational managers in charge of designing curricula and educational policies. The data used in this paper are obtained from the REFLEX Survey.
