Business School Industry Links USYD/UNSW (1 Viewer)

[nolimits]

Hey BOS,
How do the industry links of each respective business school differ for University of Sydney and University of NSW?
Thanks!

By industry links, do you mean which uni is better for securing a grad position at the completion of the degree through networking events etc.? Both unis are considered equal in regards to prestige locally, but Sydney Uni has a slightly better reputation internationally (probably minuscule since any Australian uni is lackluster compared to Oxbridge/Ivy League) so you would have a good shot at either. However, I would rate UNSW's finance school better than USYD, with USYD having a superior law school, hence the strong representation of BCom/LLB students at USYD.

Not sure if I answered your question but I hope what I wrote makes sense and is helpful to someone lol

UNSW has co-op scholarship - if you aren't a co-op scholar you are pretty much stuffed in terms of getting placements at reputable firms via university. Co-op scholarship in finance is pretty awesome. USYD does not give out these to students based on ATAR (which is basically the co-op scholarship). Once you are in the university, you can apply to the industry placement program and depending on your major, your marks, extra curriculars and internal assessment centre performance, you will get a firm (e.g. if you express interest in accounting and perform well - typically a big 4, if finance - something like maq etc etc). I am externally doing an internship at a big 4 at the moment and a friend is currently working their casually (she was part of USYD's program and they offered her a job after that, she's only 2nd year).
