Re: Best Business Faculty

Unsw :p

But UTS > all for convenience, except their system of choosing courses/timetabling sucks. (And when you're a commerce student with minimal hours a week you want to be sure you get it bunched in 2 days :D )

Usyd don't offer part-time which makes me thing they are old-fashioned..

Re: Best Business Faculty

you remind me of the Nazi movement. You're completely brainwashed. Also, you keep talking about its postgrad qualifications. The person who posted this thread is not interested in doing an MBA.

Re: Best Business Faculty

what valuable info? whether or not a uni's undergarduate business faculty is the best is very subjective. basically, if you go to UTS/USYD/UNSW/MAQ you'll be very happy with the standard of teaching and the opportunities available.

Rankings are pretty useless for comparing individual universities to each other. There are massive methodological difficulties, and the fact that the rankings fluctuate significantly from survey to survey and from year to year indicates that they don't really demonstrate very much. As far as I can see the only purpose they serve other than to give a very, very general idea of relative merit is to allow the unis to trumpet their rankings in their promotional material. As stas said, any of the top-tier unis will give you a good level of commercial education. It's hard to get finer differentiation than that at the faculty level.

Re: Best Business Faculty

Those rankings are also for the university as a whole (including postgrad). From what I understand most rankings are actually purely for postgrad-related measures. Also, the quality of education hardly ever gets much of a weighting in the rankings, with the university's quality of research being more important. For you, whether or not a university's research is superior will not matter.

From the rankings I have seen, UNSW and USYD seem to perform at the same level. From memory, last year USYD was ranked 32nd and UNSW 36th on one of the rankings. Considering there's thousands of universities worldwide, 4 places won't make any difference.

By valuable info, I believe he is referring to that imaginary concept that success can be determined by simple things such as which university you went to.

He's yet to realise that the real world looks like that tangle of cables coming from your powerboard.

success is determined by which private school you went to if you have that sort of outlook in terms of ranking uni's now that i think about it
