What is Full Time Employment?

Full Time Employment compares the employment rates of graduates from different universities. It looks at the proportion of graduates who were employed full time four months after completing their course.

Why does this matter to me?

This rating allows prospective students to analyse and compare institutions based on how likely they are to secure a full time job after graduating.

Which university led the way for Full Time Employment?

Charles Sturt University took home the number one mantle for Full Time Employment, with 84.6 per cent of graduates securing a gig within the first four months. CSU Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Students) Jenny Roberts was pleased with the outcome.

"As a university, we pride ourselves on creating a strong sense of belonging for our students and one outcome of that is achievement; students who have the knowledge, skills and attitudes for a successful, meaningful life and career. We have educators here at CSU that are some of the best in the country and they genuinely prepare our students for their life after university," she said.

"The many students who experience work in their industry as part of their degree before they graduate equips them with job-ready skills and networking relationships, ensuring they are sought after upon."
