That being said, those in the know (e.g. me) are aware of the challenge and rigour that Macquarie students go through relative to say, UTS. Comes down to personal preference but in my experience, the Macquarie people who I have worked with have shown a very robust understanding of accounting/finance compared to those from other universities.
Couldnt agree more.
Out of curiosity, why is this?
From speaking with friends it sounds like they cram a LOT of content into their subjects, and there isn't as much of a focus on open book exams.
Once you get into UTS you can pick which ever campus you want to go to anyway, they dont even run half the subjects at ku ring gai from what I've seen on the online timetable.
Not at all.
It still makes a difference. Some employers will have preference, and some will also take into account that based on historical experience they have a higher proportion of people coming from certain universities. It's very difficult to prove any kind of linkage but it does make a difference.
Some yes, some no. But either way I don't think that would be that influential in the recruitment process since at the end of the day, it's your ability to learn as opposed to what you know which will make you employable in a lot of professions.
