CEQ Plan
Like every Australian University, La Trobe University is sent the Australian Graduate Survey after they complete a course. One section is the Course Experience Questionnaire (CEQ) which surveys coursework students on their levels of satisfaction with their program. The second section surveys coursework students on their career/study destinations and is called the Graduate Destination Survey (GDS).
The Survey is sent by La Trobe and the results are consolidated by Graduate Careers Australia (GCA) who analyse the data and provide the data to the Commonwealth Government. This data is used by DEEWR to determine which Universities receive what amounts of money from the Commonwealth Government's Learning & Teaching Performance Fund (L&TPF).
The Federal Government allocates substantial amounts of money for distribution each year through the L&TPF. Like all universities, La Trobe would like to achieve a better result from the L&TPF as these vital funds can be used to improve teaching and learning across the University in future years.
A vital part of the strategy to improve our rankings is to simply inform students of the importance of the surveys. The Faculty of Law & Management has a GCA approved strategy for raising the awareness of our students to the CEQ and GDS.
If you are a La Trobe member of staff and would like further information about the Faculty of Law & Management strategy please contact Professor David Spencer on 9479 3449 or at david.spencer@latrobe.edu.au.
For further information about the survey, contact Glenys Harding (x1448) in the Management Information Unit. Information and results can be found at La Trobe's Management Information Unit page.
