Wednesday, 2 August 2006

The ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ of Adelaide tops the nation for the number of Bachelor degree graduates going on to further full-time study.

Almost half - 48% - of 2005 graduates surveyed went on to further full-time study, well above a national average of 22.5%.

These are the latest figures from (GCA) which today (Wednesday, 2 August) released this year's Course Experience and Graduate Destination Survey results, based on a national survey of ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥n university graduates from 2005.

ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ of Adelaide Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic) Professor Fred McDougall said: "This is an excellent result for the ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ of Adelaide and reflects our status as one of the most research intensive universities in South-East Asia and our reputation for world-class research.

"The ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ of Adelaide makes a very strong contribution to ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥n graduates' decision to further their qualifications, which in turn contributes to the nation's overall research output. Perhaps some of these graduates will go on to join our existing three winning graduates.

"The ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ is also working very hard towards meeting our ambition of being among the top universities for learning and teaching, and was delighted to report we've made a significant step in that direction with the greatest increase in overall student satisfaction of any university in ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥."

Fields of study at the ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ of Adelaide that had high percentages of graduates proceeding to further full-time study included humanities (73.5%), geology (72.4%), chemistry (69.6%), psychology (64.3%) and languages (64.0%).

• Bachelor graduates include those with a Bachelor degree, Honours, Graduate Bachelor and Diploma.
