Could you guys rank UNSW, USYD, Macquarie and UTS in terms of overall education quality. Like if you were an employer who would you be more inclined to hire? Also I know UNSW and Sydney are meant to be some of the best but how far behind would ones like Macquarie and UTS be?

if I << key word I
was an employer i would hire someone that is well rounded.

went to usyd and didnt work throughout your whole degree? i'd bin your resume
went to UWS and worked full time, did some extracurriculars? you'd look more attractive in my eyes.

it really depends on the business (e.g. small business, medium, large) - this is when uni might affect your attractiveness to employers. but in reality, after you work for 10 or so years, nobody truly gives a shit what uni you attended. (Edit: unless you are azn and looking for an azn partner lulz)

Overall ranking? very hard.

It really depends on the field. E.g. Medicine = doesn't matter conversely consulting = heavily discriminates

Which is a snapshot of what's on this web page - http://myuniversity.gov.au/UniversitySearch/Results
You can find more information (such as employment rates and graduate salaries in certain disciplines) by clicking on 'View statistics' next to each university listing.

There's also pertinent information on graduatecareers.com.au.

Edit: IIRC 76.3% of all graduates are employed within 4 months.

Law and Commerce are highly discriminatory when it comes to the exclusive jobs. Economics not so much - do an honours year and work at RBA.

Here's an example from Booz.
Their campus recruiting is highly selective like that of the US - I recall hearing that some Monash graduates were prohibited from apply for certain positions. Goes to show how cut throat it is.
