Australia's top universities for full-time employment in 2025

The Good Universities Guide evaluates the percentage of graduates who secure full-time employment within four months of completing their courses, providing valuable insights into post-graduation job prospects.

This rating gains significance when compared across various universities, allowing prospective students to gauge the employability of graduates from different institutions.

Numerous variables can influence the time taken by a graduate to secure full-time employment. These factors extend beyond the university attended and may encompass:

• industry demand
• chosen field of study
• individual interview skills.

While this rating is a valuable metric, we encourage you to consider it alongside a university's other ratings or performance indicators.
