The Graduate Outcomes Survey (GOS) is a survey conducted by the Social Research Centre (SRC). This survey uses data from recent graduates to gain further insights into graduate destinations, such as further study or employment, allowing higher education institutions to enhance teaching and learning in Australia, and improve outcomes for graduates.
The Graduate Outcomes Survey – Longitudinal (GOS-L) provides graduates with the opportunity to express their views on their course three years on from graduation.
Employer Satisfaction Survey (ESS)
The Employer Satisfaction Survey (ESS) is used to measure employer satisfaction with graduates’ generic skills, technical skills and work preparedness. Future year ESS surveys are currently in development.
Australian Graduate Survey (AGS)
The Australian Graduate Survey (AGS) was a national survey of recent graduates, conducted by Graduate Careers Australia (GCA). It comprised the Graduate Destination Survey (GDS) and, depending on the graduate, either the Course Experience Questionnaire (CEQ) or Postgraduate Research Experience Questionnaire (PREQ). This survey was used to obtain information regarding graduates’ course experiences, employment outcomes, and further study status.
The AGS is no longer in use, and has been replaced with the Graduate Outcomes Survey (GOS).
