What Students Say

- Amazing, very good for the profession and gives great practical experience - one of, if not the best course ever!
- My university program features an internship in the third year of study, so I believe that employability and job prospects are a significant focus for the University of Sydney.
- I have not had the opportunity to check this out yet; however, I have heard that the employment rate is excellent.
Dislikes
- I feel that the course syllabus is slightly outdated as it fails to acknowledge certain aspects of economics that I learned during my 12th grade.
- There is not really a fee structure; there is a fee per subject, as well as contribution fees to the university.
- I transferred because the US is currently in a very bad state and is not looking too bright for employment when I graduate.

- Firstly, USYD has a very beautiful campus that gives Hogwarts vibes
- Next, I would say the learning environment, the university provides like access to library and learning hubs 24/7
- Some aspects of my course curriculum that gave the practical exposure in the fields I'm specializing in
Dislikes
- Old fashioned assessment methods: I didn't expect pen-paper exams when I joined the university. I genuinely believe that this is completely waste of time and efforts - some better assessments methods that are more practical in nature should have been included
- Limited support from Careers office: They just wanted to follow the predefined methods instead guiding on a personal basis as per the profile of the student. I was quite disappointed whenever I went there
- Boring Lectures - some lecturers just deliver the lectures by reading the slide content majority of the time
- I opted for off-campus accommodation, but I stayed with my cousin for the entire first semester so won't be able to answer this question in detail but after the first semester I tried to apply for the on-campus accommodations, but they were majorly on a waitlist, so I randomly checked flatmates and started going on inspections and finalised one!
- Mine was around 30 mins walk from Campus
- Also, for the recommendation, apps like flatmates and facebook marketplace are useful to find an accommodation within your budget.

- I chose Masters in Economics which has always been my subject of interest. The decision of choosing University of Sydney was the second after deciding the country. Australia looked like an untapped market in comparison to saturated UK job market. USA was the first choice only if offered an admission into the ivy league university. And once, Australia is a country was decided, University of Sydney is the first choice in terms of rankings, and Sydney being the financial capital of Australia.
- The facilities, campus, resources to do anything we want to do and large amount of encouragement the university gives to the students to pursue whatever they want.
Dislikes
- I have expected the university to have a placement cell where they call companies for campus placements, but nothing of this sort exists. We ourselves need to apply to companies and go through the recruitment process, university just trains us. This is the only thing until now which disappointed me.
I would say University of Sydney gives an excellent experience overall if we see holistically. The residents of the country play a very important role in our perception formation of how we like the place, and Australians are one of the warmest people I met.

- Good QS ranking and working rights post completion of Masters.
The university is good and the academics is pretty updated. The courses are relevant to the industry and the labs and assignments help with the academics. Infrastructure is quite good, with all the facilities and labs.

- Job Market in Australia, Affordability, proximity to home town.
Overall great experience. Technical courses don't have a lot of diversity in terms of students. Due to Covid classes were online so difficult to network and make new friends.
I choose this university because first its the best University in Australia for my course and I wanted to study in Australia.
The University of Sydney is among the top ranked universities of the world who delivers some great post graduate courses. The policy to encourage critical and systems thinking in their teaching and research is really timely and most appropriate given the era that we live in. Most importantly, the graduate courses in project management they offer are unique owing to the general subject content that covers a wide range and the industry focus.
It is known for its research and research facilities and is ranked in the top 100. For my course it is ranked 19th in the WORLD.
I was enrolled in New York University as a Business Technology Management student for 2 years. I was 17 at the time and felt pressured by my parents to go to a well-known university to study the same major they did. In New York, I quickly realized that I did not feel fulfilled doing my major, and struggled a lot with my mental health. Mental health is a taboo topic in my home country, Indonesia, and that fact alone fueled my life goal of helping people, and so I took a special interest in the way our brain functions in hopes of advancing science and medicine that would be useful for people in the future as well as removing the negative stigma on mental illnesses. I decided it was time to take a leap of faith and moved half way across the world to USYD as I heard very amazing things about their science and research faculty. So, here I am studying Neuroscience and Psychology in a university that I love.
The University of Sydney has a renowned globally accredited medical programme which is accepted in multiple countries. Also it is close to home, which for me is Singapore.
