Graduate Employment Outcome
Results from the annual Graduate Careers Australia survey of graduates. Figures refer to Australian graduates from Bachelor Pass, Honours and Graduate Entry degrees only.
Percentage of Graduates in Full-Time Employment is the proportion of graduates who are available for full-time work who are in full-time work at the time of the survey, four months after completion.
Percentage Satisfied
Results from the Course Experience Questionnaire of the Graduate Careers Australia survey of graduates conducted annually. Figures refer to Australian graduates from Bachelor Pass, Honours and Graduate Entry degrees only.
Percentage Satisfied refers the proportion of students who agreed, or strongly agreed, or neither agreed or disagreed, with the question "Overall, I was satisfied with the quality of this program". This aligns with the definition used by Graduate Careers Australia for Broad Agreement.
