UNSW vs USYD in engineering. Which is superior? (1 Viewer)

[RofL]

Hi, I know this has been asked heaps but I was just wondering which uni is better for engineering. Which one will provide me with more opportunities in finding a job when i graduate. I read that Usyd's engineering courses are outdated and irrelevant, and that UNSW has better facilities and a better course. So explain which uni is superior, and WHY it is preferred over the other. =]

thanks.

well i'd have to say UNSW because of its higher reputation for engineering

+1

And because of it's facitlities - it's ranked 16th in the world for engineering, pwning USyd XD

These threads never end; usyd vs unsw engineering, macq vs unsw actuarial etc etc. Ultimately it's not going to matter which university you choose, as they are both fucking awesome. Choose whatever is closer (more convenient) or one which more of your friends go to etc.

after a year of it, you won't really give a fuck what uni its at

NSW.
USYD has a better reputation for health.

I always thought that UNSW was better but I found out if i do engineering at USyd I can study overseas for a year ... which i want to do.

Even though UNSW is supposedly better (by popular opinion) , in the end, there are no MAJOR benefits in going to unsw and which uni I go to won't affect me too much when i finish. Am i correct in saying this?

Having studied at both institutions, it really doesnt matter where you (unsw or usyd).

(You can study overseas at every uni. A pretty shitty 'point of disparity' right there.)

UNSW is ranked higher in engineering and it's easy to see why. The whole uni is focused around engineering and the teaching & research is l33t. Plus they allow more types of specializations.

If you want to study arts or law or something pointless like that, go to USyd.
If you want to be a maddog and actually study something worthwhile and that will put some pretty penny in your carman (engineering), come to UNSW.

Plus the devotchka's are truly amazing. Seriously, some good goobers & groodies strolling the campus.

Dude, are you sure you've researched? :/

both unis are good. if you have the choice between the 2, look at the electives that are on offer, and which course you might prefer. if they're both pretty much the same, look at other stuff like uni life, transport, etc to make up your mind.

for undergrad, those rankings are pretty meaningless

one question:

lets say you're offered a 6 grand/pa scholarship @ USyd and nothing @ UNSW

also, travel to USyd is easier than travel to UNSW

where would you go?

I was in that position and I still chose UNSW. OP- consider the teaching and courses offered.

lol you are absolutely out of your mind if you chose UNSW over Usyd in that case

despite how pro unsw i am, i'd choose usyd over unsw in that scenario

looking at the previous responses begs a certain question

it appears that unsw is better for engineering, but would you take money (eg a scholarship) to go to usyd?

and if you would, then i suppose you must consider whether or not you are choosing engineering for the right reasons.

IMO, given the opportunity to become a good engineering or an excellent engineer, then money shouldnt really effect that choice

(also, anybody that rejects unsw in favour of usyd because of travel time is retarded)
