I recently got an offer letter from UNSW and I’m not even from Australia so this video was really insightful. Thank you so much. You’ve no idea how much I appreciate this
aww timing to perfection mate!!! i am going there for my post graduate in finance this september2019 cant wait!!!! thanks for this amazing video cheers mate!!
I used to work at UNSW as a librarian. Also did my masters there. Great location e.g within walking distance of Coogee Beach. Great campus. Great place. Watching this video and the campus scenes brought back memories for me. I miss it so much!
Just accepted an offer for the Juris Doctor program at UNSW (having done my undergrad at USyd and Honours at UQ - for a bit of variety)! Thanks for the review of the uni and the look around campus.
@@ChoosingYourUni Thanks! I'm also (hopefully) going into a graduate job, so it helps to have classes in the evening. I used your video on UQ to get pre-emptively familiarised with the St Lucia campus and it really helped.
Glad to hear that was helpful. How good is St Lucia??? UNSW campus isn’t as good but I LOVE the walkway from Kensington Parade up towards the heart of the uni - it’s one of my favourite views in any uni in the country.
I love how a lot of people say UNSW has a wide selection of undergrad courses but don't have Bachelor's of primary education as one of them since most universities have that course which is what I want to study (I wanted to study in UNSW since I was in year 7)
This is an interesting comment. Not every university can be good at everything. And it would be self defeating for even the best universities to try to "do it all". imo - one should always go to a uni that is strong in the area that is most important to them. If UNSW isn't that uni, maybe you should look at another uni? There are some excellent BEd (Primary) programs in Sydney. What is it about UNSW that grabbed your attention so early?
Your video on Monash is awesome. Can you make the video on UNSW on the lines of that one, please? Like - more videos of the insides of the buildings, library etc
I honestly want to know from the side of the university Computer Science Department. Although rank-wise University of Melbourne and some other universities are higher, I am still thinking that UNSW is the safest bet for Computer Science in Australia.
Hey mate, I absolutely loved your comprehensive review of this university! I've got offers for law at both UNSW and Usyd, what do you believe are the pros for both? Thanks.
Mate, both of these universities are fantastic. You're really splitting hairs between the two of them. I love both campuses, each has lots of overseas study options, both are well ranked and have great campus life. Wins everywhere!
@@ChoosingYourUni I'm also looking into both USyd and UNSW for law (and arts) and can't choose between them! So far having to run uphill between classes (thanks Sarah) is the biggest downside for UNSW. Surely there are other areas that aren't perfect? I really need help picking because I can't go on campus!!
Hi Mya, If you try to find the “weaknesses” in one you’re maybe focusing on the wrong thing. You should only ever choose a direction based on the strengths it presents, and how those align with your preferences. If ornithology is your thing and one of these unis has the worlds best bird watching club, you’d be better off to choose it rather than reject it because, to use your example, you have to go uphill to class. Make sense? Always pick based on strengths, not pick against because of weaknesses.
@@ChoosingYourUni usually I'd agree with you but unfortunately both universities offer everything I could ever possibly be interested in. They're both a little big for my liking but other than that, they completely match my list of requirements and have equal number of "pros" so I do need to think about the cons in order to make a decision between them.
Ha ha! Okay, that’s great! Have you thought about where you want to live? Or are you going to commute there? UNSW is closer to the beach and USYD is closer to the city and Newtown. That could be a differentiator?
Hi! Great video. I plan to study at UNSW next year February as an international undergraduate student. I successfully applied to the commerce/media program and I would like to know how hard for an average student like me to successfully graduate from UNSW because I heard the failure rate of UNSW was quite high like 20%. I have no intuitive sense of how hard the Australian uni courses are gonna be.
Students fail only if they are unsuccessful at completing course requirements. If you work hard, communicate well with your teachers, and take advantage of support services on offer (if you need them), I have no doubt you’ll get through it.
All are excellent unis. I can’t speak for you, since I don’t know you’re interests and goals. If it were me I’d probably look at UNSW and Monash for mech eng. but then I’d also consider other unis like UTS, RMIT, QUT and Swinburne too. Mech eng is a huge field so try to narrow down your specific interests and look for the uni with strengths in that sub discipline.
Oh wow, what are you looking to study? Like undergraduate or what and which degree? I’m in Victoria so results haven’t even been released yet so I don’t think I’d be able to get an offer yet. I really want to move out of Vic because of the better weather in other states which would be much better for my health and wellbeing, but financially it could be difficult moving out so idk.
Ewroiguqergb Wergewqrhgwe Undergraduate. For UQ, I got offer under Business Management and for UNSW, I got Commerce. I don't know which university is better because I live far from Australia.
Both of these unis are excellent. Either one makes a good choice. Both unis rank well, have good teaching, beautiful campuses and are well located in relation to the city (so there are work/internship opportunities). Brisbane is warmer than Sydney, but UNSW is close to the beach. Either way, you're on a winner. Congratulations.
@@BSingh-on4qr Aw yeah the better weather! I've been struggling to make a decision between Melbourne and UNSW for weeks and now I'm definitely going to UNSW thanks to your comment xx
@@desesseintes604 An update. I'm a 2nd year engineering and science student at Monash. All going well so far. The weather is annoying but it's still a good place to live. I've opened up to politics and everything, and Victoria is by far the best in Australia. Which degrees are you looking to do?
Hi Rob! Great video! Something I was wondering is how hard is it to receive financial aid as an international student? This might not be the best question but it’s often the first that comes up here in the States, so I was wondering about that. Thanks
Not completely sure what you mean with this question: do you mean how to get funding as an international student coming to Australia? Or how to get funding as an Australian student going to uni in Australia?
Unfortunately there’s no funding in Australia other than the scholarships that each uni provides. Google the uni name plus “scholarships for international students” to find out what’s on offer
Hi Rob! I'm currently facing a dilemma in whether to place USYD or UNSW as my first preference for Civil Engineering. I understand that UNSW is ranked 1st in Australia for Civil and Structural Engineering under the ARWU and QS Rankings, with USYD at 2nd in Australia under the ARWU and QS Rankings for Civil and Structural Engineering. What are the pros and cons for both universities for this course? Does UNSW's trimester system make it easier or harder to access internships? - as the breaks between teaching periods are shorter at 1-2 weeks compared to 1-2 months with USYD's semester system. Is it easier to undertake global exchange with UNSW's trimester system? Thanks!
Both awesome unis. Trimesters shouldn't make things more difficult for internships, which will just be configured around the study period. For overseas study, trimesters makes longer term experiences like exchange more complicated but there's still plenty of time for shorter programs. So if that's a deal breaker for you that might be a factor. Honestly, both top top institutions - UNSW maybe a shade in front for me.
hi Rob! Wow awesome video, just want to say these vids are so appreciated, truly. The effort you put in is very admirable. Just wanting to get your opinion… I’m an nz school leaver starting uni next year, want to do law with media/arts. What Australian school would you recommend most for this degree considering education quality, environment, student life/experience etc? Just a bit nervous about moving away from home and the environment of these schools as I’ve never been able to visit. I’m mainly considering UNSW, USYD and melbourne, but any other suggestions from you would be great too. Thanks so much and hope you are well!
Hi! Sorry for the delay replying. So many good unis for this combo - the ones you've mentioned are the big unis with huge campuses, opportunities and student bodies. So if you're looking for a big uni, those are good choices. I'd also throw UTS and RMIT in the mix in those categories. If you're looking for a slightly smaller university that still has good programs in those areas (in Sydney and Melbourne, since those are what you've chosen so far), I'd have a look at Macquarie in Sydney and Deakin/Swinburne in Melbourne. A few broader comments: don't stress too much about your choice... you can always change. If you're taking arts/media subjects, those will generally transfer pretty well between unis, so you won't be "wasting" time if you end up deciding to move unis. I'd also think about what city you want to live in. Sydney and Melbourne are great cities, heaps going for them. But they are certainly more expensive than somewhere like Brisbane. The weather is great in Brissie and QUT and UQ both have excellent programs worth looking at. A handful of thoughts for you - good luck!
If you had to chose between UNSW and Macquarie University which one would you chose? Especially for someone going into first year undergraduate study, doing a double degree of commerce and economics....
That depends on many things: where you live, what you hope to get from the experience, if you want to study overseas at some point, your interests, if you already have some idea where you might want to work after uni etc. DM me on IG @alifethattravels and send me a little more info ans I can give you an opinion relevant to you because you should only do what’s right for you!
As an exchange student from the US, how will the trimesters work? Only looking to do "1 semester." Which is the spring term for me starting December or January. Thank you!
This depends on your home uni dates. Normally you’d do 1-2 trimesters at UNSW but check with your college as to what you need to do to get enough credit because it depends on their agreement.
UNSW is my dream school, unfortunately it's out of my price range and well such is life😢. However I will recommend that those who can should not pass up an opportunity to go to this place.
For an international student, would you say that UNSW has ample opportunities in the comp sci or engineering majors? I've heard that it ranks quite highly in employability rankings, but does that vary from faculty to faculty? are there any specific sites/apps that have reviews on teaching faculty and staff of UNSW that I can check out? just one last question, are the societies and clubs truly good for networking and socializing? I've just heard so much mixed opinions about them from people so I'm a bit skeptical.
Heaps of opportunities at UNSW. Details about discipline results for employability can be found at compared.edu.au For clubs - watch the section on clubs in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SlTgmd2tKDM.html
if given a choice between ANU, UNSW, QUT and Monash University for a business and Economics related degree...which one should I go for? I'm an international student from India btw who plans to get her bachelor's done from a highly reputed Australian uni. thanks
That depends. What else is important to you? Reputation and…? Work integrated learning? Part time work? Leadership and study abroad opportunities? Climate? Research?
Great review! I just got two offer letters from monash and unsw for an engineering course... Which uni do you recommend? I am leaning towards unsw because it ranks higher however it is still tough to decide. (International student btw)
Congratulations, those are two fantastic engineering programs. I don’t like to make a specific recommendation without a lot more info about an individual but I can say that both unis are excellent. I’d probably prefer uni location of UNSW more than Monash. Monash clubs and societies are pretty awesome. All up, a line ball choice and you’ll get a great course either way.
I got offered from Unsw ,Monash and University of Melbourne for international business course what should I choose please explain the point for the answer
They are all awesome unis and courses. You’ll need to give me more info about yourself in order to provide a more detailed opinion. DM me on Ig @alifethattravels. Have you seen my vlog too? I’m currently travelling around Australia and am posting vids from all over the country. Here’s the latest one - would love to have you join this adventure! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pr19fdl_h4Y.html
Could anyone give me some advise plz🙏🏻 I got offers from UNSW and RMIT for studying interior design (or interior architecture in unsw) and I am really struggling now! I really love the vibe of unsw as saw from this video, but rmit has a really high ranking in design. Wt should I choose?
This is a good question. Both universities are fantastic. Why I would choose RMIT: - Inner city location, tonnes to do. - Excellent university. Probably one of the best in the country for practical work integrated learning in their degrees - Tonnes of overseas study opportunities - Huge uni, lots of clubs etc. - Melbourne is a great city with a vibrant culture. Less expensive than Sydney (once you're outside the city centre a bit) Why I would choose UNSW: - Single campus with a great vibe (RMIT is a collection of buildings in the CBD of Melbourne). - Outside the city centre of Sydney, not far from the beach and not far to the city (20 minutes on the new tram). - Group of 8 "prestigious" university. You'll notice I have framed these as positives. You should choose based on the things you like and are interested and how they align with the strengths of each uni. Let me know what you decide!
I am currently studying a postgraduate degree at UNSW. The both universities are good, it depends on what you are looking for in the state though. The kinda people you will find around, study methods etc. You can send me a text I u want more info though....Sydney has more internationals than Melbourne though...and I am currently having my Christmas break at Melbourne
Not sure you’d need to check. Will depend on the courses you’re looking at. Many unis are offering great scholarships for students who start their studies soon (ie start online while borders are closed then come to Oz once they open). Definitely a good time to be looking at it.
I am a prospective international student from India planning to do undergrad in Economics. I am stuck between UNSW, USYD, University of Melbourne, and UQ. Which one do you think would be a better option in terms of uni rankings, employability, international opportunities and subject rankings. It would of much help if you could share your opinion on this.
Hi, what are some of your views/understanding about UTS? Is it a good school for business? Between Macquarie and UTS, which is better for a business degree in terms of like industries stuff, job outcomes, how practical it is...
Just a question for computer science what should I choose between-monash, unsw, rmit, usyd please all advices needed which is the best in terms of education, jobs, reputation, satisfaction and is the best overall. Specially "life that travels " Please give your opinion on it i will be highly thankful.
Did some CS units at USyd, just don't.. compared to UNSW pretty much all Aussie unis pale in comparison when it comes to CS given just how much UNSW focuses on CS & Engineering. USyd CS has solid research but the undergraduate experience is a pain due to certain lecturers being difficult (Intro to Programming and 2nd yr Algorithms in particular).
According to both the QS and the Times higher education, "USyd" is the best for Computer engineering. But the department of Computer science in Monash university's is not that good as evidenced by its THE subject rank.
I think the advice from others in the community above is probably good. It's not my subject area so I think looking at the rankings and qilt.edu.au about student satisfaction/graduate outcomes is the best way to go to decide between those universities. On a macro level, all of RMIT, Monash, USyd and UNSW have many strengths. If it were me, I'd look in the details of the qilt.edu.au subject website. Let me know what you choose, I'm interested!
Can you tell me how popular is psychology in this university and and acceptance rate of international students and also do we need ielts to get into the uni
Yes, UNSW teaches psych. I don’t know the exact acceptance rate (I’m not sure that data is publicly available). You’ll definitely need IELTS unless you’re from a country where English is the first language.
@@ChoosingYourUni 1.how are international students treated 2.A detailed explanation of application process ( I know that I could find it on the college website but then it's very difficult to understand the application procedures of a foriegn uni in my country it works very differently) 3.dorm facilities 4.how efficient is the psych department ( is it good enough) 5. Other uni in Australia which would be better 6.also if I go for masters will I be abke to do an exchange in other country and transfer the credit
Hiii, Im quite confused whether I could choose NSWU or Macquarie University to study abroad at a major Business. Im Vietnamese student, could u help me review about the academic structure, I mean, does UNSW is really harder than MU ? Because Im worried that I cannot handle when choosing UNSW ? Thanks mr.
Engineering is a very strong discipline at UNSW. Not sure about mining specifically. The top uni in Oz for mining is Curtin in Perth but you probably can’t go wrong at UNSW.
@@ChoosingYourUniso it won't be a problem according to you?? I'm not choosing Curtin cuz it has a campus in Kalgoorlie which is a very remote area. Not sure about the part time jobs as an international student in Kalgoorlie..
Engineering is a strong program at UNSW. Looks like there’s a bit of casual and part time work in Kalgoorlie: www.seek.com.au/jobs/in-Kalgoorlie-WA-6430?worktype=245%2C243

Hi dude Actually I am currently apply for my offer letter in this uni but I m confused Ryt now now bcz I heard about that after completion of my bachelor of food science degree from unsw then I'll able to find job in Australian companies very easily is it true or not ? As well cn u pls tell about how many replacements chances are present after completing studies from unsw? Nd pls tell me for bachelor of food science this uni is good for this program or not ?
I’d recommend you watch this vid. Let me know more information once you have and I might be able to help more. How to Choose a University // The Morning Walk [Ep.57 - LIVE] ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZcuUhTYc1Jg.html
Hi! Thank you for making this video it is absolutely amazing! Recently I graduated with my bachelor's from India and I’m still deciding if I should go to UTS or UNSW in 2021(received an offer letter for both in MASTERS OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY). As an International Student, I’m not able to compare these unis in detail. WHICH ONE WOULD YOU RECOMMEND?
You're welcome :) Both UTS and UNSW are great universities in different ways. You'll get an excellent education and good career prospects from either. PM me on Instagram (@alifethattravels) if you have specific questions you'd like answered.
Both have strong engineering programs in that space so I'd look at some of the other things that the universities offer: extracurricular opportunities, clubs, leadership programs, work integrated learning and study abroad.
All unis will consider this for standard admission. There are alternative entry pathways for most unis, though, that consider other factors like relevant work experience etc
Each uni has its own admission requirements. The SAT is a US admissions test, so it won’t be that. All admissions requirements are on each unis’ website, under the relevant degree program.
Right now I am currently undecided between macquarie and unsw for commerce. I have gotten an offer for both unis. Which do you think you would be the best for commerce?
Both have good business programs imo - UNSW maybe just ahead for UG. However there’s more to the decision than just the course. Have a look at MQ’s PACE and Global Leadership Programs as extras. Both unis are in interesting locations, UNSW with better access to the city if that’s important to you.
Hi, I have applied to UNSW and received an offer from them with a 15% scholarship. I applied for the Bachelor of Science/Computer Science program, a 4-year degree but I just couldn't make up my mind whether the September intake is a good option. Is there any difference if you compare the September intake with Feb and July intake?
@@vhahahahayea they do provide the 3 year degree for Computer Science, but I would want a double degree in Bachelor or Science/Computer Science. What are your thoughts on UNSW and the September intake?
A lot of core courses are available across several study periods. Honestly, it’ll make little difference over the course of your life if you start in September or next year, so just do what works best for you ie if you feel it’ll be too rushed for Sept, just start later.
