This interactive data story explores how graduate outcomes vary across university disciplines in Australia. Using data from the Quality Indicators for Learning and Teaching (QILT) Graduate Outcomes Survey and Graduate Outcomes Survey – Longitudinal, the visualisations examine differences in graduate salaries, employment outcomes and long-term earnings growth. The analysis reveals that the value of a degree cannot be measured by starting salary alone, with some disciplines delivering stronger employment prospects and others generating substantial salary growth several years after graduation. Together, the five interactive visualisations provide a data-driven perspective on the economic returns associated with different fields of study and challenge common assumptions about which degrees offer the greatest long-term value.
