CQU again ahead of national median for graduate starting salaries 

CQU is again ahead of the national median for graduate starting salaries, according to Graduate Careers Australia's newly updated annual report on the earnings of recent university graduates (released this week).

The national median annual starting salary for bachelor degree graduates* commencing full-time work in 2004 was $38,000.

The comparable median annual starting salary for CQU graduates was $40,000 for the same period.

* These figures are presented in 'Graduate Starting Salaries, 2004' and are based on a group of new Australian graduates who were aged less than 25 and who were entering full-time employment for the first time.
