A study has been conducted on the various factors contributing to absenteeism at university level, such as academic perception, attitude towards the faculty and stress. This study highlights the increase in absenteeism in national universities, especially after Covid, as a significant challenge. This study aims to quantify the levels of absenteeism and identify its causes, particularly in large groups of university students. The results indicate dissatisfaction among students with face-to-face lectures, which are perceived as overly theoretical and of little practical relevance. The results are also compared with other engineering programs. The results obtained are important for improving the educational experience at FNB-UPC and potentially other METIs.
