UQ1773

Should I ask where women graduates from the department actually work?

Yes, it is worth checking. Looking at the companies and types of jobs women graduates actually entered, as well as the work they do after graduation, can help you judge whether the department’s studies and career paths fit your goals. Check not only gender-related patterns but also outcomes by year or course and the career support described in official information.

Key points

  • Look beyond company names to job type, work content, and location.
  • Examples of women graduates are useful for reference but do not guarantee your own career outcome.
  • Check the reporting year, department or course covered, and how the employment data were compiled.

Things to check

  • Employment destinations and job patterns vary by university, department, course, year, and individual choices.
