The Graduate Outcomes Survey (GOS) is one component of the Quality Indicators for Learning and Teaching (QILT) suite of surveys. The GOS is a national survey of recent higher education graduates being conducted for the Australian Government Department of Education by the Social Research Centre.
The research is being conducted for the Australian Government Department of Education by the Social Research Centre, under the Higher Education Support Act 2003 to conduct the QILT suite of surveys.
The results of this survey also help the higher education sector and the government improve students’ course experience and enhance teaching and learning in Australian higher education institutions to improve graduate outcomes.
Graduates of participating Australian higher education institutions are invited to complete the GOS about six months after they have completed studying.
The GOS has three data collection periods in the months of November, February, and May.
