Apparently, USyd is more on the medical side and UNSW is more on the engineering etc. side. But in ranking, USyd is higher than UNSW. BUT, don't they all teach the same courses anyway?
not all the same.
id say they do better in ranking because its researched based and id suspect a lot/most research money goes to medical stuff (may be completelywrong) which is USYDs biggest forte

Even though I'm in UNSW I won't be biased here... *cough* anyway serious.

The rankings of Universities on Earth are all based upon their research. Although UNSW did rank higher than USYD in previous years, it does not mean that UNSW is better than USYD.

Which university you choose will ultimately depend on 3 main things: -

> Is the university your planning to undertake your degree in has an environment which is acceptable? [No comment here...lol] Since you'll be stuck in this uni for at least 3 years if not more if you're doing honours, etc.

> Does this university offer the appropriate technology and teaching to your degree? i.e. You wouldn't choose to do a bachelor of science in say Macquarie Uni, since it's common knowledge that Macq is known for its Faculty of Commerce and economics.

> The majors offered within that degree. This is especially the case for students into Science, USyd offers a different no. of majors to UNSW.

As for medical research, that's hard to say, you can't simply state that USyd is more specialised in Medical research just because their B Medical Science has a much higher UAI than UNSW's, since UAI is highly dependent on the "overall majority" of students' demand & supply for that specific degree.

Just a side note for students planning to take a Science degree, at first it may be bewildering since there are lots and lots and lots and lots (i'll stop now) of majors offered. A good point is to visit the faculties of science and the schools within USyd & UNSW. Don't be misled by the lecturers, because just as there are crap teachers in High Schools doesn't mean that there aren't crap lecturers in both UNSW & USyd.

Asian schools would get you higher marks and more inspiration!

The partial reason I choose UNSW over USYD was thanks to u guys who said that hot aussie chicks would be at USYD and Asian people dominate UNSW. I'm an asian girl and indeed have been to a "hot aussie chicks" dominated school and 4 years later, a "asian smart girl" school... and I can tell you now, I had life in hell in the former as many of those girls were bitchy, dumb, up themselves and very egotistical. Many of them were mean, backstabbing, pretty yet couldnt get enought of themsleves in the mirror, and changed their pencil case more than they did for their books or homework. Many of them turned out to drop high school and even failed at tafe... I'm not making this up either. I'm not saying girls at USYD owuld be entirely like this (i met a 1-2 nice and smart aussie girls yes), but Ive went to USYD campus a few times and it looks very eerie like my former school. ( not that those girls could reach such a prestigious school anyway)


The smart asian girls school that I went to after 4 years of racist hell at the former school, turned out to be very motivational, inspiring and competitive. The asian girls mostly held a load of textbooks in their hand, obessed over which extension course to go to, obsessed over UAIs and Exams rather than Boys, makeup and themselves ( well to an extend anyway hhaha we are still girls) All of them ended up with UAIs from 80 to as high as 99. Now what I'm trying to say would be very clear to me...may be offensive to others...but honestly mang of the guys asking this question wouldnt care what the girls are like anyway lol, youre more interested what they look and smell like... (don't contradict me on this, I have more goddam sources!)

I thank my decision to have chosen the asian school for me sucess in getting that high UAI I wanted.


Seriously guys, I don't want to stereotype, but thats clearly that way it was in my situation. The chances of having better intellectual influences and friendly conversations would definetly be risen when you go to an asian dominated school!


wasnt that a greatly put speech hahaha.

lol. I sure hope I never see you as my psychiatrist. That was the biggest load of crock I've heard today.

To say that bitchiness is a racial trait is beyond stupid. There'll always be dickheads in any community, any race, any gender.

Good for them, now they can propagate into uni with having no social life, no social interaction, and when it comes to presentations, bumble along with their sub par english and incomprehensible grammar.
