    Question about UNSW Arts.

    usyd is shite for undergrad. if you want a good undergrad program just for political science then go to ANU. but if you want a good range of related subjects like international security, development, political economy, come to UNSW.

    Int'l Studies

    Well personally, thats exactly what i hope to do. A PhD or masters. And yes, there probably aren't as many jobs to meet the ridiculous number of people doing the courses that are now at every uni but there are still plenty of options. Any government department will have a graduate entry program...
