Comparing UNSW and USYD (1 Viewer)

[SanFrancisco]

What's up all ya' aussies!

I am all the way in SF and I am looking for some feedback on some schools in Sydney -- specifically UNSW and USYD.

I am interested in both of their Master of Commerce programs (Information Systems).

Pros and cons?

Do employers prefer a degree in Commerce from one school over the other?

Any info would be appreciated ... Thanks!

usyd has a great rep, apparently unsw has a slightly better one but they are a much of a muchness.

i hope you like maths because both have a lot esp. in first year and its all compulsory... oh and the lecturers hate teaching first year (see the murray smith post)...

look at the subjects you want to do at eah uni. From that decide what is the best choice for you personally.

also look in depth at the colleges and decide what is best for you.

MASTER of commerce, not Bachelor.

Most of the people on these forums are undergrads, so they probably won't be able to give you the information you're looking for.

I've moved this thread into General University Discussion - you'll get opinions from UNSW and USyd students in there, which will make for a more objective perspective
