The results of the new survey of undergraduate graduates clearly demonstrate that the improvement is continuous and the level of trust in the institution is very high. The community of UBA graduates, which is spreading to all levels of hierarchy of institutions, organizations and companies and especially to senior and top positions of responsibility, are the proof of the work produced over time. The improving the infrastructure will provide even greater and more opportunities to enhance the quality of the services we offer. Our graduates say they are proud to have attended the UPA and this is the greatest satisfaction for those of us who serve.”
