The 2007 Ireland Graduate Survey is the largest independent student survey ever carried out in Ireland. It is based on direct interviews with 3,191 final-year students from the seven universities - TCD, UCD, DCU, NUI Galway, UCC, UL, NUI Maynooth - supported by in-depth research with over 200 student job hunters.

The survey was conducted by the British-based High Fliers Research company and sponsored by The Irish Times. The company conducts a similar poll in Britain on an annual basis. This is the first time it has surveyed Irish students.

Employers who participated in the 2007 research programme and helped fund the project included Accenture, Bank of Ireland, Deloitte, Ernst & Young, KPMG, Royal Bank of Scotland Group, Shell, UBS and PriceWaterhouseCoopers.
