Do students stay and finish?
Source: Dept of Education, 2024Of students who started at Canberra in 2016, nine years later:
- Finished a degree
- 62.3%
- Still studying
- 4.2%
- Left after returning
- 21.5%
- Never came back after first year
- 12%
More recently: of new Canberra bachelor students in 2023, 13.2% didn't come back to study at any university the following year.
Students are followed if they move: finishing a degree at another university counts as finishing, and moving to another university doesn't count as leaving. Read these alongside the quality measures, not instead of them. Completion and attrition partly reflect who a university enrols – universities serving more regional, mature-age and part-time students naturally run higher attrition without being worse at teaching.
