Graduate Destination Survey (GDS)

The Graduate Destination Survey (GDS) investigates the career and further-study activities of recent graduates. It is a component of the national Australian Graduate Survey that is conducted twice a year by Monash University in association with Graduate Careers Australia.

The Graduate Destination Survey identifies employment outcomes such as availability for employment, sectors of employment, average annual salaries and since 2002, graduates' job search activities. It also collects information on further study activities, such as mode of study (full/part-time), levels of study, fields of education, and institution.

Reports showing graduate employment outcomes, starting salaries, trends in full-time employment and further study are available on the University Statistics website. The comment analysis is available on request from cheq@adm.monash.edu.au.
