They're both pretty recognised. What do you want to major in?

I'd always say Mac over UTS just from the campus point of view (3 years is a long time to be stuck at UTS Haymarket).

Jeez, I've been asking this question ever since I got my uai last month. And the conclusion: In terms of recognition... I really have no freaking idea. Some say Macq's commerce degree's been around longer (hence better?), while an equal number say UTS's B. Business's has a more practical aspect to it (hence more useful?). You can see why I was confused. Still am...

Then we can argue about their locations. Macq U has a cute campus (complete with grass!!!) while UTS consists of 2 office blocks. Plus no grass to boot. IMHO, winner of the 'Sydney's Ugliest Uni' award :p Not exactly the most picturesque of locations. But UTS is right smack in the middle of the city, while the closest 'cool' place around Macq U is Macq Shopping Centre. Again, very tight...

Hmmnn... I've also noticed someone brought the issue of fotbs up. Lol! If I'm not mistaken, isn't UNSW, UTS and Macq kinda all illed with fotbs right now? :p

Finally, after much deliberation.... I decided on UTS. And I got it yesterday. Here are my reasons:

1. Although in terms of rep, based on the ppl I've asked on this forum, the 2 unis are pretty even, it seems to me that ppl slightly prefer UTS to Macq. Not sure why, but that's the preception that I got. I think it had to do with it's location.

2. If I was not mistaken, The Good Universities Guide gave UTS's B. Business 1 star more than Macq Uni's B. Com (Accounting). I know, I know, that's a sad reason :) Plus, it also stated that in general UTS's business grads earn a higher salary compared to Macq's.

3. UTS seem to have more international exposure compared to Macq.

Hence my final decision. Hope I didn't make a mistake!

congrats on your offer...

just curious.... how much do UTS grad's make???

and are you comparing b. accounting or b. business @ uts with b. comm- accg @ macq.

i don't think people can really comment on the two degrees not having done them both... all you'd get is biased opinion...

Thanx.

Oh, hope I didn't offend anyone! Apologies if I did! Those were just my own reasons for finally choosing UTS over Macq. After an excruciating month :)

Since I didn't manage to get the B. Accounting, I was comparing UTS's B. Business (Accounting) with Macq's B. Commerce (Accounting).

I can't remember how much they earn. Those figures were just mean figures anyway. I got them from the Good Uni Guide books.

UTS business grads tend to earn more than any other equivalent degree in Aus as UTS has very close links to big corporations.
