National surveys

Griffith participates in the national Student Experience Survey (SES) in August every year.

All first and later year onshore undergraduate and postgraduate by coursework students are invited to take the survey by email to their Griffith student inbox.

The SES is carried out by the Social Research Centre on behalf of the Australian Government Department of Education, Skills and Employment and forms part of the Federal Government’s Quality Indicators for Learning and Teaching (QILT).

The SES gives students the opportunity to provide feedback on various aspects of their university experience and the results are used to improve student experience of higher education and learning and teaching in Australia.

Future students can make informed decisions on where to study using the ComparED website, which compares the performance of Australian universities in the SES and the Graduate Outcomes Survey (GOS).

By completing the survey, students will go into the weekly prize draw to win a share of prepaid VISA gift cards. Further information can be found on the Terms and Conditions of Entry website.

The GOS-L is completed by graduates of Australian higher education institutions approximately three years after completing their studies. The GOS-L supplements the GOS by measuring graduates’ medium-term employment outcomes and further study activities.

The International Student Barometer (ISB) is a global study of international student experiences that allows Griffith to benchmark student responses against participating universities from around the world. The ISB assesses all aspects of international students’ experience from arrival through to graduation.
