Graduate Destinations Survey

The GDS is an annual survey of the "first destinations" of UNSW graduates that is carried out at the point of graduation. The report provides a detailed analysis of the employment and further study outcomes of UNSW graduates, including salaries. The report also draws on comparative data from the national statistical collections of the Australian Bureau of Statistics. As the survey is carried out at all other Australian universities, the report also provides comparative data drawn from the national report on the GDS that is published by the Graduate Careers Council of Australia (GCCA). The GDS provides a valuable resource in relation to many important University functions, including evaluation of graduate outcomes, marketing and student recruitment, corporate relations, links with employers of graduates, and the provision of student services such as careers advice and information. GDS results are a mandatory component of the University's Educational Profiles submission to DEST.
