I have a keen interest in education, and wanted to explore the fields of study for graduates from Australian Universities.
Audience: Education policymakers, university marketing teams, students choosing where to study, or general public interested in education trends.
Objective: Show where the institutions are located across Australia, how higher education graduates are distributed across these universities, and which fields of study dominate in each state.
