The University of New England (UNE) has again ranked as one of the top Australian universities for providing undergraduates with a path into full-time employment.
The 2018 Graduate Outcomes Survey, released on January 11, reveals that nearly 80% of UNE undergraduates seeking full time work have found full-time employment. UNE was ranked fourth among all 41 Australian universities for full-time undergraduate employment.
UNE was also ranked fourth among Australian universities for “Undergraduate Median Full Time Salary”.
According to the survey, UNE undergraduates enjoy a median full-time salary of $64,700, against the industry average of $60,000.
“This is further proof that UNE provides its students with one of the best pathways into employment of any Australian university,” said UNE’s Acting Vice-Chancellor, Professor Todd Walker.
“UNE strives to give students as much industry exposure as possible, including overseas study tours. Employers know that UNE students take away more than just theoretical knowledge from their degree.” Professor Walker said.
The new survey backs up the 2019 Good Universities Guide, released late in 2018, which awarded UNE its top five-star rating for Graduate Employment and Median Graduate Salary.
The 2018 Graduate Outcomes Survey drew its conclusions from the annual Quality Indicators for Learning and Teaching (QILT) survey, which is funded by the Australian Government Department of Education and Training.
