In this study, the goal is to examine the relationship among senior students’ perceptions of quality at university and their future employability.

This study has been conducted via correlational model, and sample of the study with 628 senior students from Canakkale, Kocaeli, and Balıkesir Universities. Data collection of the study has been carried out by using Turkish adaptations of Higher Education Performance Scale, Perceived Future Employability Scale, and demographic information questionnaire. The result of the study indicates that perceived university quality predicts students’ future employability perceptions. In addition, academic achievement, gender, SES, and work experience status of students has predicted both their employability and quality perceptions. In conclusion, senior students’ university quality and future employability responses prove that there is a positive relationship among them. Therefore, higher education leaders should consider the relationship between higher education quality and employability of students, and they should work toward more quality in education for increasing graduate employability.
