		Thank you for visiting GradsOnline. This site has been developed to provide you with easy-to-read, summary results of the annual survey of graduates (Australian Graduate Survey) conducted by Graduate Careers Australia on behalf of the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR). The information presented throughout GradsOnline complements and extends on that available in the published reports. Searching the Site You can search the site either from the home page or via the navigation bar which appears on the left hand side of each page. In order to search the site for information relating to your study area, you need to select your degree level first. The following options are available: Bachelor (Under 25 years of age) Bachelor (All ages) Graduate Certificate/Diploma Masters Coursework Masters Research/PhD The data presented on this website relates to Australian residents only and each degree level pertains to a different survey respondent population. For example, "Bachelor (Under 25)" consists of those Bachelor Degree graduates who were under 25 years of age, and in their first full-time employment at the time of the survey. "Bachelor (All)" consists of all Bachelor Degree graduates, regardless of age or whether they are in their first full-time employment. Once you have selected a degree level, then you need to select the Field of Study in which you completed your degree, via the drop-down menu. If you are unsure about which Field of Study applies to you, you can do a Subject Search by typing in the first few letters of your study area. You will then see a list of the closest matches to the word you've typed in for that degree level. You should note that not all subjects will appear in every degree level. For example, if you type in "Human" (for Human Resources) under the Bachelor (Under 25s) level, there is no match for Human Resources, but if you type it in under Masters Coursework, you will receive a result for Human Resource Management. Navigating through the Site All statistics on the site are provided as graphs and in tables (under "View Tabulated Data" next to each graph). You can see the figures relating to the bars on all graphs on the site by simply passing your mouse over each bar. If you are unsure of the terminology used in the various sections on each page, definitions have been provided to assist you. You can either view these on the Definitions page (available via the navigation bar) or click on the icon () next to the section to which you are referring. Please note that graphs used in GradsOnline utilise Java Applet technology, therefore, depending on connection speeds, initial downloading of graphs may take approximately 2-3 minutes on an average dial-up modem connection. Results The result pages for each Field of Study appear across four pages: Field of Study State Profile Gender Profile Trends The Field of Study page gives you general information regarding median salaries, employment rates, sectors of employment and occupations for that particular field. The State Profile page details the number of graduates per field of study for each state, the median salaries of these graduates both by state and nationally, and the activities of graduates within that field of study by state. In the first graph on this page (number of graduates for the field of study) you may notice that in some cases the number of survey respondents exceed the reported total number of graduates. This anomaly has arisen due to different survey coding practices adopted by both respondents and universities in categorising fields of study. This disparity is unavoidable at the present time. Disparity in the numbers of respondents and graduates may also occur when universities survey graduands who then continue in further full-time study, for example, a graduate who completes a bachelor degree but then opts to continue by undertaking an Honours year. The Gender Profile page details the number of males and females who graduated within that field of study, a comparison of their salaries and a breakdown of their activities. The Trends page details median salaries for that field of study during the last five years and the activities of graduates during this period. Throughout the site, the graphs relating to activities of graduates show numbers of graduates "Working", "Searching" and "Studying". In this context, "Working" means currently in full-time employment, "Searching" means seeking full-time employment and "Studying" means undertaking further study. You should note that in all cases, the numbers of graduates "Working" and "Searching" are derived from the total number of survey respondents who indicated they were available for full-time employment. The numbers of graduates "Studying" are derived from the total number of respondents to the survey. In summary, you will find that the percentages of graduates "Working", "Searching" and "Studying" do not add up to 100%, as graduates who are "Working" or "Searching" may also be "Studying" at the same time. In relation to number of respondents for a field of study, where there are less than 10 respondents nationally, no data is shown for the current year, however, where we present state breakdowns of data and there are less than 10 respondents, we have made data available to provide an indication only of trends for that state. We caution against using these figures for extensive interpretation of state trends relating to that field of study.
