Australian Graduate Survey

Strategy and Planning is responsible for the coordination of data from the Australian Graduate Survey (AGS) for the University of Adelaide. The survey data informs policy formulation, strategic planning and quality improvement initiatives for the University.

The Australian Graduate Survey (AGS) is an annual survey of university graduates that was developed by GCA, and is administered by universities to their graduates on behalf of GCA. The AGS includes the Graduate Destination Survey (GDS), the Course Experience Questionnaire (CEQ) and the Postgraduate Research Experience Questionnaire (PREQ). All graduates receive the GDS as part of the survey. In addition, graduates who completed an undergraduate or postgraduate coursework program receive the CEQ, while graduates who completed a postgraduate research program receive the PREQ. The national results of the AGS are published by GCA, reported in the Good Universities Guide, and used to allocate the Learning and Teaching Performance Fund.
