NZ Graduate Outcomes (Census-based)

Where will my qualification take me? What qualification do I typically need for a particular job? What could I earn? Should I consider postgraduate study?

These pages have job and qualification information to help you make choices about your study and career. Based on 2018 Census data, they outline the qualifications, jobs and earnings of New Zealanders aged 30-39 years. This age range was chosen to show what recent graduates, who are established in their career, are earning.
