And that it's graduates are not looked upon as favorably as Macquarie,UNSW or syd uni graduates
I don't know if this matters but I did a finance course at UNSW and the author for the textbook was from UTS.Haha every UTSer loves the "practicality" of their degree
As i said in another thread, for high level finance u'll pretty much have to come from UNSW/USYD
But for accounting it doesn't really matter.
Overall: UNSW/USYD>MACQ>UTS>UWS
Um no.Ehh typical elitist BoS user who thinks high uai/atar entrances correlate to a 'better' degree. I'm pretty sure there is plenty of 'high level finance' taught in degrees like Quant Finance at UTS and Actuarial Studies at macq.
It has absolutely nothing to do with what uni you went to... at the end of the day, you graduate from university with a piece of paper, and this does not form part of the criteria for graduate employment selection. Instead, it is based on stuff that is less superficial than "what uni you went to", like your experiences, what you've done with yourself, how you've involved yourself in the local and wider community, how well you can communicate, what skills can you bring to the table. stuff like that. stuff that will BENEFIT the employer. what uni you went to will NOT in anyway give the employer any benefits. it is just a coincidence that more people were from UNSW etc, and obviously they were the better candidates for reasons MORE than just that they went to UNSW.Um no.
I never said 'high level finance' was NOT taught in UTS and Macq. In fact, I find that whats taught in UNSW is probably easier compared to other courses at other unis.
All I know is, from my experience, alot of the top finance-related employers (IB, trading, mgmt consulting) have preference for UNSW/USYD students. E.g. When I went for an assessement centre 3 weeks ago for an investment bank, out of the 20 candidates, 12 were from UNSW, 3 from USYD and the rest from interstate.
Go figure
lol The ChasersI went into a business lecture like 2 weeks ago.
They watched The Chasers, it was fun.
Now I changed UTS from 6th to like 3rd in my UAC preferences.
Also, in previous work experience as well (in areas related to, and not related to investment banking.It has absolutely nothing to do with what uni you went to... at the end of the day, you graduate from university with a piece of paper, and this does not form part of the criteria for graduate employment selection.

More like:Each uni receives different reception for different faculties
Praised:
UNSW LAW
USYD Med, dentistry all those science stuff
UTS LAW + ENGINEERING
(correct me if im wrong)
idk the others
i dont think it matters, my mates brother does accounting at UWS and landed a job with Ernst and Young earning $70,000 a year...he's only 20, u mad?Haha every UTSer loves the "practicality" of their degree

not to doubt the credibility of your mate's brother, but it seems highly unlikely that he is earning $70k a year after only seemingly having completed 1-2 years of university. Some graduate salaries aren't even that high for accounting in some firms. You are probably thinking of $30k, not $70k. Take that from someone who is working in accounting firm and who is about the same age.i dont think it matters, my mates brother does accounting at UWS and landed a job with Ernst and Young earning $70,000 a year...he's only 20, u mad?
He's probably bsing you.i dont think it matters, my mates brother does accounting at UWS and landed a job with Ernst and Young earning $70,000 a year...he's only 20, u mad?
