Summary: | The article presents the results of a categorisation of fields of study using data on
three years of graduates available in the nationwide system for monitoring the
professional careers of graduates. This categorisation uses two selected composite
indicators for the first and fifth years after obtaining a degree. Combinations of
the values of these indicators make it possible to distinguish categories of fields of
study where graduates are assessed in different ways by employers. The results of
the categorisation indicate the existence of a relationship between the professional
careers of graduates and the field of science to which a specific field of study was
assigned, as well as the development of individual regions. The results also point
to a differentiation of categories depending on the form and level of studies. Special
attention was paid to fields of study assigned to social sciences. Universities
whose graduates permanently obtain specific categories have been identified.
