[Unistats] GDS-CEQ and Offshore Internationals

[Andrew McCann]

Hello All

Does anyone administer the GDS-CEQ-PREQ to offshore international students?

The GCCA Standard Recommended Methodology includes international 
students in the Survey scope but also speaks about "graduates from 
Australian universities", which implies that only Australian graduates 
and onshore internationals are included.  My understanding is that  
offshore international students are deemed to be out of scope.  I am 
also aware that the SRG canvassed Survey Managers a couple of years ago 
about this issue but I have no information on the outcome.

So if anyone can provide me with information/resources about:

    * whether or not any attempt is made to administer the GDS to
      offshore internationals;
    * the methodology they use, if different from that used for onshore
      graduates - e.g. how the survey form is tailored re
      language/translation issues, cultural/contextual issues, etc;
    * data analysis issues.

I will be most grateful.

Thanks .... Andrew
