Abstract: This systematic review explores what has been studied about graduates with disabilities and their academic university and work experience. In the study, 18 articles were analysed and the voices of a total of 664 graduates with disabilities from different international contexts were considered. The results were organised around the research questions that guided the review: the characteristics of the studies in terms of country, participant profile, methodology, and the topics investigated on graduates and higher education (university inclusion, transition to employment and labour market insertion). This systematic review shows that there are a number of factors that enable graduates to continue and successfully complete their studies and facilitate their integration into the world of work. The conclusions show the important role that universities play in helping graduates to face the barriers they encounter in their academic careers. Furthermore, they claim to guide and prepare graduates with disabilities during their professional experiences.
