Federal Education Minister Simon Birmingham is urging young Australians to do their homework on university courses before accepting study offers.
The 2017 Graduate Outcomes survey, released on January 12 shows almost 30 per cent of students struggle to land full-time work within four months of graduation.
Senator Birmingham says it is important students take time to consider their options before taking the plunge.
"We see that around three in ten graduates struggle to get full-time employment in the first few months after they leave university. That is a reminder that it is not always an automatic ticket to full-time employment when you have been to university, that indeed you need to work along the way, developing contacts, getting work experience, building all other aspects of your CV, as well as making a wise decision at the outset in terms of what course and which university you go to."
