Post Nominals (Program Abbreviations)

Post nominals are the abbreviated form of university awards, which are listed after a person's name to indicate their academic qualifications.  For example, Joe Citizen MBusAdmin(MktgMgt) CQU or Joe Citizen BArt(Hons) CQU.

This listing provides the post nominals for all programs offered by CQUniversity, both past and current.

Please note that levels of achievement, such as 'with distinction' or 'first class' (for honours) are not included in post nominals.

If your program is not contained in the Post Nominals listing, please contact Charlotte Harlen by phone (07 4923 2685) or email.

Australian Graduate Survey (AGS)

At some point after graduation, graduates will be contacted by CQUniversity Australia and invited to participate in the Australian Graduate Survey (AGS).  The AGS is a national survey coordinated by Graduate Careers Australia (CGA) with participating higher education institutions.  The survey is designed to collect information about program experience and the type of work or further study graduates are undertaking after graduation.

This information is extremely important to CQUniversity as responses will be used to monitor and enhance the quality of CQUniversity's programs and to keep students informed of career opportunities.  This data will be submitted to GCA to assist with the production of their annual reports, and to the Commonwealth Government to inform higher education policy development.  AGS results are also reported by media and publishers.

CQUniversity Australia is committed to both the Commonwealth Privacy Act 1988 and Queensland Information Privacy Act 2009. All survey results are aggregated and no information that identifies graduates personally is disclosed.  For further information, please contact the AGS Officer at CQUniversity Australia by email at: ags-enquiries@cqu.edu.au
