ANU Graduate Destinations

The annual Graduate Destination Survey (GDS) is part of the Australian Graduate Survey (AGS) which is coordinated nationally by the Graduate Careers of Australia (GCA). The survey seeks information on the activities of new graduates approximately four months after the completion of their qualification. It provides very useful data on employment options, salary and general labour market trends for graduates.

Typically, ANU achieves a survey response rate of 55% for the AGS. As not all graduates choose to return the survey, the survey results reflect the number of respondents only, not the total number of graduates in each discipline.

Summary results from the 2007 survey are outlined below:
