regarding graduate job offers, would USYD be better off?
Straight engineering at UTS is a year longer and has two compulsory 6 month internships done over the course, with one done in the last third. If you play your cards right, you might not have to worry about getting a graduate job - might already be working.
But on the other hand you could just as easily get average internships or have trouble getting anything which will delay your course progression.
Edit: When I say straight engineering, I mean not combined. The internships are optional in combined degrees (and for Intl students)
