UTS Business or Macquarie Prof. Accounting (2 Viewers)

Which course do you think is better and why? I am more so interested in the employment prospects of each course for the big 4 and perhaps higher mid tier firms.

Same course, and both are reputable if that's what you're after. Big 4 doesn't discriminate so.. it doesn't really matter if you go uts or uws.

Choose base on which is easier to reach.

There is actually a difference in going to UTS than UWS... Big 4 does know that entry into uts would be more difficult and the university you went to is usually taken into consideration especially for business degrees..

To answer the question, in terms of prestige and whatever both are in the same league. In terms of difficulty, Macquarie's exams are known to be the most difficult, UTS not as much. So I think it'd be easier to score higher at UTS, which is important as marks mean a lot to the Big 4.

Well men and women of BoS, considering I live in the North Shore region and driving to Macquarie takes according to google maps 22 mins driving, and UTS 40 mins, or with public transport Macquarie is 50 mins and UTS is 80 mins, would this be considered a huge factor in deciding which uni to go to or is the difference in time considered fairly insignificant by uni students.

Cheers.

Here are the graduation salary/destination figures for UTS. http://www.uts.edu.au/about/university/facts-figures-and-rankings/uts-graduate-employment
As you can see, Business/Law/Design/IT & Engineering graduates are top performers at UTS (in-terms of salary and graduation prospects).
But I'm being bias here by not presenting Macquarie figures.
Health has 96% employment rate at UTS, but the salary is low as expected from the health field.

Actually.. http://www.businessandeconomics.mq....business_economics_degrees_by_name/accounting
Macquarie is 53k for Accounting (a bit higher than Business at UTS).
But do keep in mind that the Business average is for all majors (not just accounting); so the 52k+ for UTS may be higher for the Accounting major.

Overall from my research I get the feeling that UTS maybe a tiny bit better for business, however I do wonder if the travel times I mentioned would heavily outweigh this.

To be honest, if you are that close to Macq i would just go their. It's not like Macq is below par to UTS, they would be similar anyways. I have UWS fairly close to me (20 min drive) but ultimately i will be traveling 1 hr via public transport to UTS or Macq city campus because of the significant improvements which they hold over UWS.

Don't let anyone influence your decision. Both unis are great and at the end, it's your decision and what is best for you.
