Master of Business Law - Batch of 2026
4.3
The University of Sydney provides great exposure.
Tips: Before joining this college, students should check out the course properly. Australia has jobs in a select few fields, mostly in the commerce and law departments. So, check out what course you are doing. Business law is the biggest field. Most of the faculty are adjunct faculty who are currently working, so they are big names professionally in their respective fields.
Likes (Post study jobs): The University of Sydney provides great exposure because it's the biggest university in one of the world's biggest cities. Australia has a referral system for jobs, which means you need a referral from a respected individual to get hired. But since this is such a big university, you'll have lots of people to refer you, making your job search easier.
Dislikes (Part time work): There were not many on-campus jobs, and those that were available were often filled by students who were enrolled in four-year degrees. The single year students do not get much opportunity on campus. It is much better off campus.

Bachelor of Arts (BA) and Bachelor of Laws (LLB) - Batch of 2026

The University of Sydney has a good work environment, great faculty and vibrant campus.
Tips: I've loved my time at UNSW so far. If you're only planning to study and get a good job, you're missing out on so much more. UNSW has a lot of Asian students, and after a short time, you'll feel comfortable here. The library is good, and computer access is convenient. The only downside is that the administration can be a bit bureaucratic. Overall, I am satisfied with the university.
Likes (Public transportation): The buses are more convenient than personal vehicles or cabs. They are cost-effective and faster than trains, which can be a bit crowded during peak hours. Overall, you'll find the transportation system to be convenient and comfortable. The university is also within walking distance of Redfern Station or a bus ride from Central Station.
Dislikes (Indian Food): I prefer cooking meals at my place because it's easier and more convenient than searching for a good restaurant. Also, you can easily find spices and ingredients in the stores to make good food at home.

Master of Business Administration (Leadership and Enterprise) - Batch of 2024
3.6
A short course where competition makes you compete and make you learn more.
Tips: Students should know that this course is not a PR pathway Course but an 18-month course. So if you are looking for a PR choose other programmes. This course will broaden your horizons of thinking about business and business operations. You will be studying with full of passionate international students who love to compete and have aggressive learning behaviour. The MBA course is not held in the main campus. If you enjoy the city vibe, then this is for you. You will be studying like you are in an office building with a morning rush, going to the office. Coffee culture is the best, you will find n numbers or cafe. There are more than 200 clubs. But if you are studying this course then you will be not going to the main campus, so you may miss this opportunity. FT is a pre-fixed schedule and the classes are from 9 am to 1 pm, you will have many breaks in between. Be prepared for exciting people, it's a 2-floor campus in the main CBD area. There are n number of scholarships given by the university so apply beforehand, and check the course description. Keep in mind that, Sydney is the most expensive city in Australia, and most professional opportunities at the same time. You should be a morning person as everything closes here by 7 pm on weekdays.

A wonderful place to learn and earn.
Tips: Students must check for scholarships for international students, as the University of Sydney provides 20% scholarships to all Indian students who apply before paying the fees. Don't do unnecessary prerequisites if not necessary, they do waive them. Also, don't pay for the application fees as it is waived all the time.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): Wonderful campus and activities. There are tonnes of events every month for students. There are many societies for students as well to join and have fun. Engaging activities and welcoming events every semester. Parties and clubs are held now and then. Support and well-being for students as well.
Dislikes (Student Life): Excellent staff and university facilities. Accessible rooms with 24-hour open library and student rooms allocated specially for international students. Also, the teaching facilities here are high-tech with the most advanced technologies installed.

Bachelor of Engineering Honours (Software Engineering) - Batch of 2024
4.4
USYD is pretty good in terms of providing quality support, education, multi-dimensional help.
Tips: Before joining this college, students should be aware of the fees, courses, accommodation, lifestyle, expectations, culture, and processes for enrolling and changing courses. It is also very helpful to know about the financial support, services, and international student support that are available. Knowing what to do first will help students adjust to the college and their new surroundings.
Likes (Value for money): Students should keep their resume up to date and be open to different opportunities. Help and support are available, but students should not compromise their studies. Balanced part-time jobs can make it even more feasible.
Dislikes (Internships): It might be tricky as it's too busy to keep up with studies and daily life as an international student but it's the hard work pays off and the growth at different levels is tremendous. My experience has been pretty rewarding so far though challenging at times.

Master of Professional Engineering (Accelerated) (Electrical) - Batch of 2024
3.9
Quality Education, practical experience, but high cost.
Tips: The university provides excellent facilities, but the tuition fee is expensive. It is very academically oriented and one would excel if looking into academic research with good funding and support. There is a little shortage of diversity in the classrooms, especially for master's degree courses. Finding jobs and internships in the teaching sector is tough at present, and networking is the biggest source to find good opportunities. Although the service sector jobs are huge in number, there is a dearth of R&D jobs, especially for international students on visas. The city has become more and more expensive each year with ever-increasing rents and cost of living. Universities don't offer scholarships that are of significant amount except for PhD and Post Doc students. The city and the country are one of the most beautiful places to live with a big Indian community already settled here in certain parts. Overall, the education is good, but it is of less value for money considering the high auxiliary expenses however, if you can manage to get a scholarship, it's a good option to consider.
Likes (Public transportation): Well-connected public transport, although a bit expensive. A comprehensive network of trains and buses running round the clock. Transportation directly connects most of the residential places to the university as the central station and central bus stop are next to the university. It is also possible to find accommodation close to university.
Dislikes (Part time work): Due to a large number of international students coming to Sydney, the number of opportunities is limited and that is the case for both on-campus and off-campus jobs. Part-time work with academics is quite manageable as long as you study throughout the semester. Hourly rate for part-time jobs off campus is around 25-30 AUD.
