Amazing. I graduated there exactly 10 years ago with a bachelor of science (I'm from Norway) and it was such a great experience. Great environment to study in. I wanna go back. You'll grow and learn and although things are hard when you're away from home it opens up all types of new experiences and possibilities you would never experience in the comforts of your home/ friends and family. I hope there are as many dress up parties around St Lucia as when I was there, and that the brush turkeys and possums are still around ^^

It seems that most of Aussie's universities have beautiful campuses from your videos. People abroad can now see that Australia is a good alternative to the two usual suspects of the US and the UK, although those two countries still dominate the university rankings at the top worldwide as well as the number of Nobel prizes won.

[@ChoosingYourUni]

If you’re basing quality on uni campuses... Australia has a higher % of its universities in the top 1000 unis worldwide than both the USA and UK. So unless you’re in the very top tier of institutions in those countries, you’re academically better off in Australia.

[@eyeofthetiger6002]

@@ChoosingYourUni lol, that's not what I meant at all but a beautiful campus is an added bonus in addition to academic reputation. You guys have pretty good universities overall, perhaps the next goal is to have an Aussie uni to crack the top 25? Btw,do you have an ivy League group as in the US or the UK equivalent the Russell group of research intensive universities? In the UK, the bulk of government research grants are allocated to the Russell group institutions in the main.

[@ChoosingYourUni]

Hey Eyeofthetiger - yeah; I figured you didn’t mean that but I just like being specific for anyone who might read the comments quickly and miss the nuance of our conversation. Yes, we have a grouping called the “Group of 8” - the leading “research intensive” unis in Australia. The reality is that any uni that’s high up in the rankings (ie inside the top 300 in the world) has strong processes. A single number doesn’t tell a whole story and I’d always encourage people to look at how an institution performs in the niche area that that person is interested in. There are PLENTY of unis globally that outrank Harvard in their specific niche. That’s not the only thing to consider (eg the network and presitge at Harvard is obviously a big deal) but it’s well worth considering.

[@eyeofthetiger6002]

@@ChoosingYourUni agree, but the trouble is Harvard is the richest university in the world by a country mile and with such wealth you immediately create an unequal playing field, although perhaps that shouldn't create complacency as there are now 2 Chinese universities ranked in the world's top 20 with many more to follow in the near future?! Perhaps Harvard has met its match when it comes up against the fiscal largesse of the Chinese state?😂 Would agree with you about the prestige thing though, perhaps only Oxford and Cambridge can match it in that regard.

[@blessingonyiitv7714]

I love your video, how's Ph.D in Environmental Management and Sustainability in UQ? Or is there other University that specializes more in this field.

[@ChoosingYourUni]

PhDs are done with specific professors as supervisors so you should do your PhD with the best person you can find. The advantage of UQ, however, is that it is a high ranking uni that has lots of doctoral students and does a lot of research. As such, it has many resources and systems in place to support students like you if you go there.

Hello Rob. I'm hesitating on choosing between UQ and QUT architecture in major, and which uni would you recommend? And why? Thanks! I heard that QUT is a more friendly college compared to UQ for the students, and the graduates from QUT in the major of architecture are easier to get employed in architecture firms.

[@ChoosingYourUni]

Both excellent unis. I love them both tbh QUT “traditionally” viewed as more industry connected and practical, UQ traditionally viewed as more research intensive. In reality, both excellent unis teaching great degrees with good campus life and career outcomes.

This is a really good question! And it’s completely normal to feel a little nervous about this.

As an extrovert, I think you’ll have no problems in settling in and finding your tribe at this university.

Hmmm, that's tricky. They are both great unis. I'd consider: - The quality of the degree programs and how students rate them (look up health on Compared.edu.au) - What sorts of practical experiences are built into the degree: internships, clinical placements, international study opportunities. - What extracurricular activities catch your eye the most (leadership programs, clubs and societiies, sport etc). - What you're hoping for from the city - Melbourne and Brisbane are VERY different. Across these areas you're going to find a lot of overlap between the two unis but there will also be some standout differences.

It wouldn't be fair to give an answer on that - PhDs are very specific and closely linked to the supervisor you want to study with. They're also specific to you and your interests (of which I have no knowledge). Both these unis are excellent and reputable in that field so I'd look at the detail of who your potential supervisors are and what their networks and research output is like - their work should give you an indication of the direction your own studies might take.

@@ChoosingYourUni i am talking about Garden Points campus,. very compcat and quite greenery ambience, though in centre of the city. As botanical garden is next to campus and even in campus there is much greenery and the other side the Brisbane river ferry staop and the river bank... its beautiful. Education is also good. i dont about specific courses, though. all is good, as per my experience.

Im torn between UNSW, Umelb, and UQ for my master in business/commerce cause other than academic quality, i'm looking for which uni actually better in terms of facilities, variety of extracurricular things, socialize, and makin networks. Any tips for me?

[@ChoosingYourUni]

Those are three of Australia’s best universities. Melbourne ranks the best, but not by a whole lot. I love UQs campus and UNSW’s location close enough to the coast is really nice. All three of these unis will provide a solid academic program. The rest, you’ll get out what you put in - they all have lots to offer.

Hello, I'm planning my masters in food science and technology from UQ , henceforth i wanted to ask about the career and the job opportunities that I might get once I'm done with my masters degree. Does UQ have tie-ups with industries?

[@ChoosingYourUni]

That’s very specific so I’m not sure, maybe check with the faculty on their industry linkages. Plenty of food related companies in Australia so I’m sure you’d find work relatively quickly, on the safety side if not the development side initially at least.

@@elizamadden3316 Thanks so much for getting back to us! I'm so glad you're loving it, even with the pandemic situation.

I know QUT especially likes to emphasise their "real world practicality" for their business course, but you're still finding UQ's program really good?😊 (I'm also considering a marketing major!

UQ VS USYD for a masters in business or masters in commerce. Can you please give me your opinion which is better for job prospects?

[@ChoosingYourUni]

In Australia at least, your personal attributes and alignment with the culture of the company you’re hoping to work with are more important than where you studied.

[@misrarajshree123]

@@ChoosingYourUni Thats a good answer. I apologise for sounding ignorant but I was under the impression that Sydney in general would be better for business degree when compared to Brisbane. But please correct me if this assumption is not accurate. As an international student the fee is very high and I want to be in a position that I get good internship/job opportunities. Which do you think would help? I already have UQ offer letter and now I’m applying to both USYD and UNSW. And this is for Post grad. I’ve looked for the numbers on the websites you mentioned in the video and I’m still undecided although my father is leaning towards colleges in Sydney.

A Life That Travels Any suggestions you have for getting an international scholarships and recognition to study there?

[@ChoosingYourUni]

Getting a scholarship will be partly based on your academic ability and partly based on the other things that you have done. Good marks help, but if I were to focus on something to get myself a scholarship, I would work hard at adding extracurricular experiences to my resume: internships, volunteering, leadership, community development. If you can show a university that you are a valued member of YOUR community, they are more likely to want you to be a valued member of THEIR community.
