Abstract

In recent decades, Graduate Programs in Brazil have progressively gained visibility at the national and international levels, with one of the purposes being to maintain quality and development in the field of scientific research, training masters and doctors in different areas of knowledge. Therefore, this article presents data from a research that investigated graduates of a Postgraduate Program in Education of a federal public institution, located in the State of Minas Gerais, in order to understand the perceptions of graduating graduates from 2010 to 2020 As for the methodology, it is characterized by an exploratory study based on a quantitative-qualitative approach, since data from an online Survey, a semi-structured interview, were used in order to identify the academic trajectory and professional insertion of the subjects. The theoretical framework encompasses institutional evaluation policies, Higher Education, graduate studies, graduates, among others relevant to the topic. Furthermore, this study reveals as a result the relevance of the participation of graduates in the institutional evaluation process, considering the increase in the quality of the graduate program.
