uts people will say uts, maq people will say maq. I'd say Maq as it is much closer to you. Plus the social life will be a lot better.anaoum said:ok so thanx peopl for the input and info.
lets say i have a choice between maq and uts. if i wanted to do bcommerce-acc / bfinance. would u recomend i do it in maq or go to uts and do a bbusiness?
and when it comes to transport maq is much closer to me.
hahahahahhahaha. wow you really do buy in to all that marketing bullshit.tacky said:I beg to differ. I think the reputation of the business school you go to is very important.
If you are going to do a commerce/business degree and slog 3 years of your life and then burden yourself with a HECs/PELs debt which may take years and years to pay off - you are nuts to go to a business school that anythttp://community.boredofstudies.org/newreply.php?do=newreply&p=3020828

I am quite impressed by the Australian School of Business and their ambitions and vision to be the leading business school in the Asia Pacific region - something that is not unreasonable.
With the merger with the AGSM - which is by far and away the top graduate business school in Australia - there is no doubt that the new combined business school will the the scope and synergies to compete on a global scale:

Well if you go to one of those highschools where everybody's father is the director/partner/head manager/... of XYZ Ltd. then you'd have that nice network of people to get you work experience (that is denied to anyone inquiring over the phone) or in many cases unadvertised jobs... So really, not so much the name or prestige of the school but rather the people who go there..Conspirocy said: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
I am so sick of that.red P's on a bmw type.
USYD doesn't feature a postgrad program? wow, I wonder why we have hundreds of people taking their MBA, M Com, PhDs, etc., at USYD. I guess they mistakenly enrolled in an undergrad course instead.tacky said:No I am not influenced my marketing material or spin of any type. Based on my own observations.
Just look around, which other busines school/ faculties of commerce/faculties of business out there would you consider world class??
There are only two business schools that I can think of really
(1) Australian School of Business
(2) Melbourne Business School
Both of which have adopted the US style business school model and have an ambitious vision for the future.
University of Sydney's Facutly of Business & Economics doesnt have a postgrad business school anymore - its purely an undergrad school.
UTS, well, its a teaching university really but even the quality of teaching at UTS is questionable given that it still suffers from overcrowding in first year lecture halls. Still, it does have an impressive range of subjects and choices to choose from. UTS Faculty of Business just doesnt have any where near the reputation of the Australian School of Business.
Macquarie University: Department of Commerce - I must admit is quite a mediocre, typical run of the mill commerce teaching uni. There is nothing particularly outstanding about this uni and the fact that students can graduate with only one major is beyond belief.
Monash uni: well ditto UTS.
I'd go maq for fin, uts of acct...but overall maq - i know a lot of people from uts finance who wasted their time and arent getting workanaoum said:ok so thanx peopl for the input and info.

is interesting, because a number of the staff at uts also lecture/tutor at usyd and unsw.tacky said:UTS, well, its a teaching university really but even the quality of teaching at UTS is questionable given that it still suffers from overcrowding in first year lecture halls.

lol actually USYD's arts program is the reason for those peer reviews, in my opinion. medical science at usyd isn't very superior to UNSW. USYD is an excellent research university in business. I would like to see the number of phd students at usyd vs unsw with business thesestacky said:I meant USYD doesnt have a post graduate business school of any standing anymore since its departure from the AGSM - its mainly an undergrad teaching school now. It just doesnt compare with UNSW anymore in the field of business.
USYD and ANU may have a higher "prestige" in these peer review studies BUT this is for the Unis as a whole - NOT a review of their Business School.
USYD's strength has always been in medical sciences.
ANU strength has always been in scientific and pure research.
Neither USYD or ANU has a business school worth the bandwidth this post is written on.
The strength of UNSW is by far and away in its Business/Commerce discipline, its Engineering faculty and its Law school.
for postgrad courses, maybe. for undergrad courses, not necessarily.tacky said:And besides, this thread is about "Best Business Faculty" not about best uni and in that regard UNSW's Australian School of Business would be the top business school in Australia.
this statement is incorrectstazi said:for postgrad courses, maybe. for undergrad courses, not necessarily.
Kenan-Flagler Business School (USA), where i took a course on exchange is often ranked in the top-10 MBA schools. That, however, didn't mean that the undergraduate program is superior to programs at much lower-ranked schools offering MBAs. Often at postgrad-oriented schools, undergrad education suffers.
Maccas? Yeah, at McDonalds' they certainly prefer UNSW students.Jennyness said:Hi all - I know the recruiters here at maccas and they have a preference for unsw and uts students. Most of the highest achieving and brightest students in the state consistently choose UNSW to study Commerce. UTS Business students are very hands on and practical. Problem with Usyd commerce students is that their course is still too theorical based. Most ppl in my company think quite lowly of macquarie uni students due to the narrow skill set resulting from graduating with only one major. We dont seem to get many students from UWS.
In my team in EMG here is the uni breakdown:
1. UNSW (8)
2. UTS (5)
3. USyd (2)
If it is indeed an operations role you are working in, that means nothing. You dont even need a degree for operations, just a tolerance for mind numbingly boring work.Jennyness said:Hi all - I know the recruiters here at maccas and they have a preference for unsw and uts students.
