    reputation vs internship

    I think for Engineering, UNSW has a slightly better reputation. At the end of day, reputation is reputation. When you are applying for a job, they look at your professional experience and your character, not so much of which university you come from.

    Is Maqcuarie uni any good for advanced science?

    Both universities would be great to help you learn all the basics in chemistry. Go to the university that offers the most variety of chesmistry subjects. If you want to do research after you graduate, you should choose the lab best for your area of interest, not the university.

    Reliability, validity and accuracy: What's the difference.

    Blushii is right. I'd like to further emphasise the concept of "validity". Validity can be referred to your actual methods - which means "is this the right method to use to measure this?". Validity can also be referred to your conclusion - meaning "from what you have found (your results)...
