Actually, what makes a university considered a good university?

 

[Shadowdude]

Uhh good is subjective, so you'll have to answer that question yourself.

Find a discipline, look up their courses and compare them yourself, go to each uni and then pick which one you like the best. Live happily ever after

I don't think you should ask on bored, its better to do what the above said and look at the courseoutline/handbook because despite rankings of melbourne/anu being higher or anything else 90% on the people here will say unsw, and in suite effect the next generation who gets that mindset and tell everyone Unsw is the way to go unless u get an ultra __ atar or w/e.

most of us will say unsw

probably because we did the research ourselves on our own courses

concluded unsw was the best

and went there

A great way to differentiate between universities as KD mentioned is to look at the degree structure. Degrees may share the same name but they can be quite inherently different. Look at what units are compulsory and what majors are available.

I suppose you could look at World Uni Rankings to see what is "good". Based on http://www.australian-universities.com/rankings/ ANU is 2nd, USYD is 3rd and UNSW is 6th although these vary depending on which rankings you're looking at.

Isn't that just based on research done by the uni? not the actual level of teaching, facilities etc

I wrote 90% as a figure indicating majority, because I know there are some very talented bosers in here and thats the reason why i keep popping back here and then to learn something new.You probably fall out in the other 10% or I might be completely wrong, but as of now my statement stand unless proven otherwise.

I researched this on Google, people say the academical level of ANU is very similar to UNSW and USyD so it isn't worth going to boring Canberra to study at ANU but for some reason, people think ANU is better than UNSW and USyD for postgraduate studies. If I do postgraduate studies I'd go either Harvard, Oxford or Cambridge if I get the chance so I'll keep it between USyD and UNSW. If I do science/engineering then UNSW if I do science/med them USyD.

Actually these rankings take into account most, if not, all aspects of uni be it research, teaching, accommodation, facilities, fees.

 

[krnofdrg]

UNSW!

oh that's good to hear, finally a reliable ranking system.

What do I need to do to get into Harvard, Oxford or Cambridge for postgraduate studies? Is it really hard to get in?
