What factors would you take into account when you say 'best'?

Re: Which university is the best to study Commerce?
UTS is another really good one. My pick would be Monash, UTS and Macquarie. Latrobe a close 4th
Monash. True global recognition, at least in Australia. Stuff like Melbourne and Sydney are just old school. No one recognises them in Singapore.shells15 said:

Monash would be better than even UNSW? Most of the people I asked(other than those on this forum) were of the opinion that UNSW is the best for commerce.Omnidragon said:

Also, I would hardly say the "old school" universities aren't recognised in Asia. I know from friends in Singapore that UNSW does standardised testing for them, so plenty of people know them (hopefully not for their feeble UNSW Asia attempt).
Out of the universities you have listed, the only one that seems to be particularly reputable would be Monash. I'd be interested to see how "globally recognised" a Latrobe degree would be.
However, to be completely honest the Australian Tertiary system seems fairly crap and we wouldn't really be recognised globally anywhere in terms of a whole university. I think the key is looking at specific schools within a faculty, because some schools actually do have huge recognition.

Anyway, as for the best place to study Commerce, well I'm biased but I'll say UNSW. There was a government report released in I think 2006 or 2007 (though it might be dated now), that basically placed UNSW as the top University for Business & Law in Australia. Also, depending on your major the UNSW School of Accounting ranks as one of the highest in the world...
"The outstanding quality of our accounting research has been recognised internationally by the journal Accounting and Finance, which ranked UNSW's accounting research first in the world for the period 1998-2005. The Accounting and Finance research considers publications in the top 24 international accounting journals." - email from the Dean.
In the end it depends on what you are looking for, obviously the location to you personally would be significant factor in itself.

Sorry, but what info are you basing your statements on? As far as I know and I could be wrong, "true global recognition" goes to universities like ANU, UMELB, USYD and followed closely by UNSW. I suppose it really depends on, which ranking system you go by since some will place universities higher or lower. I believe there is a big difference between the Times ranking of UNSW as opposed to the Jiao Tong rankings.Omnidragon said:

Re: Which university is the best to study Commerce?
i totally agree with this. And one more thing - it doesn't matter where you go. You can go to UNSW or whereever, but does that make you a good economist? (lol idk the noun for commerce person)billbro said:

Re: Which university is the best to study Commerce?
Edit: To be honest, the biggest problem with our unis is when they try to do stupid schemes to rip international students off. It really really kills their reputation. There was an incident with a UNSW Malaysia campus a while back. Last week some scandal about some Melb Uni funded foundation studies centre.
Nothing. I just said it so I could join the general tall poppy syndrome polulace in attacking elitists like yourself. Totally agree with your first paragraph.billbro said:

Re: Which university is the best to study Commerce?
I doubt there are many universities that wouldn't capitalise on charging lucrative fees on overseas students. I really don't see how that was anything to do with killing out reputation, especially looking at the constantly influx over here. Personally, I think there are more fundamental problems with our education system... along the lines of funding, the selection process, etc - but that moves a bit too far off topic.
Like what BackCountrySnow said and what I reiterated, the 'best' university for Commerce really depends on what the individual is seeking. Of course I offered my own view on the matter and I certainly question where you make your claims from.
How exactly am I being an elitist? I provided what I think is a fairly objective view of the matter and I have in no way shape or form implied I am better than someone else.Omnidragon said:

Re: Which university is the best to study Commerce?
You need a context in order to ask this question. Are you talking about university experience/reputation/industry links?
In short, pick a Go8, get good marks and get a decent job. No-one cares after that. They will see 'x' firm thought you were good enough to work at 'x' firm and thus make their judgement from that.
