Which is the best uni for business/commerce/economics? (1 Viewer)

[LaraB]

And who here has done two business degrees at two more different unis, and can then comment which is better? Very few. The fact is very few people will even admit slight bad things about their uni, and will also say it's much better than it is ().

yes well i shoulda clarified that point..although i thought it was pretty obvious whati meant but since it was apparnetly unclear... i meant you cant say your uni is the best becuase if you hvent experience others you dont know that. You can only really sasy why you think yours is good or bad

obviously im not stupid enought to say that no ones commentys are valid as they have only attended one uni..i simply said you cant say that yours is undoubtedly the best as you have nothing solid to copmare it to

um..and as far as not admiting bad things about their unis...i dunno what uni u go to but no one i know at my uni, or in fact the vast majority of friends from high school, seem to have a problem raising negatives about their uni..

we're not all that narrow minded and 'patriotic' about our unis.... every uni has good an dbad points and any sensible person would surely be able to see this regardless of whether they attend the uni or not....

Of course we're not, but those who are are far more vocal :uhhuh:

yes agreed, but i still think its stupid...

if anything the people who are most sure and vocal about the greatness of anything are the most likely to be wrong or have missed something coz they're so sure of themselves so why would they go looking elsewhere?

i still think its better to listen to someone willing to admite pros and cons whether or not they are more vocal...

ps just curious - do u even do a B Business/Commerce/Economics etc? coz ur signature would infer otherwise so i dont get y ur so sure of yourself and defensive about it....

That's true, and of course putting up a thread like this encourages less vocal people to talk.

I suppose I'll be going now

 

[LaraB]

AHHHH! WHAT SUBJECTS! I'll do them regardless of whether I'm interested in them or not. It'd be so trivial

haha sounds like our MPW lecture - the whole thing's printed on WEB CT as the notes for the lecture so you dont need to go - just as good as listening to a lecturel, ,if not better coz u can mroe easily skim the bits that aren't important/interesting

So which uni would be considered the best for marketing and management.

Jesus. Don't you understand that you're asking a pointless question? Which uni is best for X, which uni is best, which uni blah blah. Nobody can answer it really, the answers will be along the line of "Sydney Uni has most prestige, UNSW has blah, UTS is also good for blah, but macquarie has good acturial and accounting (and did I mention aweseom ancient history)."

U going of on a tangent, if u aint gonna answer her question get lost.
In regards to the question I dont know

Yet, i didnt go off on a random tangent about different course in Business I addressed her query with an answer, you get all philosophical and shit, wonder why, what uni did u get into

Jesus, calm down. Obviously if I'm philosophical I must go to Macquarie (obviously ), you're aggressive because you go out to West for education. Chill out, dude. I was pointing out that asking for "the best" of whatever rarely works (unless you want to be the best jackass, you'd go to UWS- see everyone can uni-bash) out because everyone likes to think they have the best whatever.

In any case, you really should be able to answer her question to an extent, maybe you're going off on a tangent? I dare you to help her (and me, because I'm honestly wondering) by trying to answer her question, I'm sure you'd do an alright job because you do Business: tell us about your experience with UWS' marketing and management, have you done any, good lecturers, good resources?

Well, obviously being a first yr student I cant really comment on it, but i am doing a management unit atm and its alright, but I cant compare that to any other uni

All I can add is that I failed my year 12 assesment on managemt, POLC my ass, and consequently dropped the course. Quetion to you, how does business at uni compare with business studies at school, and don't say "how does law at uni compare with legal at school", I didn't do legal

ok ..i know ur havin a go at korn but just coz ur shitty doesnt mean baggin uws is a solution....man...

have we not been thru the pointlessness of uni bashing everyone?

anyways..back on topic

yeh i agree - asking wat's the best 4 marketing/management is pointless, especially since marketing and management involve totally differnet work

i do B Business(Human resource management and industial relations)/B Laws at uws and love it! far as i know , the business half is totally different to any other uni's... not sure how as in if its course structure or the course itself or whatever...but seems that friends doing management type courses or whatever at other unis its really differnt

i think the lecturers at uws are awesome, our Workplace Behaviour unit lecturer is funny and always has a way of telling personal storeis and stuf fthat make the work so easy to understand and remember, unlike some lecturers who try to distance themselves from you and keep it totally proffessional

the workload's pretty good, interesting and not too much

my course cna lead to so many job opportunities coz of the focus it takes...since im doing B LAws too tho, i dont pick electives so i cant really comment on those...but the compulsorary units cover Inudtrsial relations, human resource management, human relatoins, managing people, psychology, businss functions, work arrangements, sociology and lots more

so you could go into management in privbate or public sectore, dispute resolution, teaching, consultancy work, industrial relations, government work, academia, research..heapsa stuff

and if u combine it wit law for example, leaves sooo many options open.

Although most uni students refuse to acknowledge it, uws seems to have an extremely good rep wit employers as far as management goes as the skills you learn as practical, diverse, and teach you how to communicate blah blah blah all that stuff

i think its also good coz in my business classes, with 1 exception, everyone's awesome and friendly and we allhelp each other out with studying and stuff even tho there's an age gap of 17 up to 50+ which is heaps good coz if u gota ppl to support u makes it less stressful etc

same goes with lecturers, so any question you have or stuff you dont understand, they're willing to help out. One of my lecturers even lets people choose not to come tyo lecture if thats "not their thing" as she put it and instead shell answer their emails n talk to them in person in consultation times

cant really comment on marketing since i dont do marketing and its way different from management - at uws, management's in the School of Employment Relations and Marketing far as i remember has its own School so lecturers are different etc

but yeah hope it helps

EDIT:if anyone really wants to figure this out, honesetly, 2nd to going to each uni for a week or 2.... maybe u shoudl have a look on the uni sites about what each course involves and that kinda thing

All I can add is that I failed my year 12 assesment on managemt, POLC my ass, and consequently dropped the course. Quetion to you, how does business at uni compare with business studies at school, and don't say "how does law at uni compare with legal at school", I didn't do legal

]well i did bus and legal at school and am doing em at uni

so i'll just say, i dunno coz it seems our school did different work to my friends schools n stuff coz we had awesome teachers n bein selective naturally they assumethrowing extra extension work at u is good lol

but business at hs for my course at least was really helpful. Gives you a good background on the basic principles and the uni work goes into detail on them

Same goes for legal, although it aint so helpful given i did family and global environment at school and we do torts 1st semester

its good for basic principles and stuff

and if you had good teachers and a good school who taught correct essay writing and report writing, it makes adjustng to uni essays much easier

from what it seems, business at hs is a good basis but if you didnt do it, its no biggy coz you go over the basic principles, at least at uws, in the 1st few weeks coz there's no assumed knowledge which means everythin u need 2 know they'll tell you

I didnt do legal either, yeah Business Studies helped with the basics and some more advanced shit too if u think outside the box

Hey, on the subject of MBAs, I think the Financial Times magazine (London) published a list last year of the top 50 business schools in the world. Only two Australian business schools made it: AGSM and Melbourne Business School. That doesnt indicate how good those two schools are, but just how far behind the rest of the world (particularly US and Britain) we really are. An MBA is a very valuable tool, but in international circles, maybe only one or two are actually well-recognised.

You just realised that Australia is behind? What about the fact that 5 of the top 10 providing university on that MBA list were founded no longer than 50 years after Australia was colonised.

That's no excuse...Korea was a third world country 50 years ago and now has an economy larger than Australia.

 

[aditya]

i dno but its always the uws people that are making boring pointless comments....


just a question minai, are u going for any analyst investment banking roles? i rekn its good u did international studies cuz usyd careers people say that employers are looking for broader individuals, as opposed to the accounting/finance. Theyd rather have people side specialising in different areas than having 50 accoutning/finance (i think a very smart move on their part) - but yeh thats another reason why liberal studies is a good degree... u can do a science or an arts major for just one year more... as opposed to staying there for 3 years and doing 2majors... its a very good degree i wanan do it!!! lol major in psychology or philosphy or somehting....
