Graduate Surveys

Course Experience Questionnaire

PQU encourages graduates to participate in the Course Experience Questionnaire (CEQ), developed to capture graduates' perceptions of their course.  Feedback enables UTS to stick with a winning formula, or to make necessary adjustments to improve course quality.

Graduate Destination Survey

The Graduate Destination Survey (GDS) investigates career and further study activities of recent graduates.

In particular, the survey identifies:

• employment outcomes, including employment availability
• employment sectors
• average annual salaries, and
• employment location.

Information on further study activities includes modes of study (full/part-time), levels of study, fields of education, and institution.

Since 2002, the GDS has also identified methods used by graduates to find employment.

The GDS is administered biannually to all recent graduates of higher-education institutions in Australia.  Graduate Careers Australia (GCA) coordinates the collection, analysis and reporting of national results.

Congratulations

goes to Jacqueline Waskin and Puneet Nayyar the winners of the $ 500 cash prize in the Graduate Destination Survey Prize Draw April 2008.

Using Graduate Feedback to Improve Course Quality

PQU uses data collected in Graduate Surveys in the Annual Course Performance Report, which is used to improve course quality.
