Having studied there for a time, I'd say it's a decent uni.

In terms of reputation, some say it doesn't matter but personally, I think it does to an extent. Good marks and extra-curricular activities would always be the top of my list in terms of getting employment.

Mmmm that's what I was thinking too, is it comparatively easier to get into? judging by the bonus schemes etc, it looks like it may be... being a rural student we don't get told these things haha.

Yes I'd say its entry schemes are less stringent compared to other universities in NSW. I believe it offers up to 10 bonus points for specific courses.

I wouldn't worry about employability, marks and experience are alot more important in the big scheme of things. I know of several law graduates from UWS who are doing very well (and only a year or two out of uni!)

 

[Riproot]

No.

 

[p3rf3ction]

No.

truth. You only decide to go to UWS for business when your choices are either Tafe, doll, or going to UWS.

What about Macquarie University for Law/Economics? They're a pretty good law school and their business faculty is up there. And the entry requirement isn't as stringent as others either.

I'm at macquarie uni and actually it's surprisingly very good. Business school as mentioned is up there. However, it is known for setting hard finals mainly 60% final exams and a lot of the times need to be passed to pass the unit irrespective of how you went throughout the semester. The law school is pretty good too and its easier than other unis in that it's not that full on in the first year

Ugh. Can vouch for this (unfortunately).

Hahahaha what are you studying azure?

Commerce and law. What about you?

I find that the weird final exams are more common with Commerce for some reason though.

 

[da_man_13]

Commerce and law as well... What law subjects are you dong this semester?

I wouldn't call that weird though.

Most of my exams are 60%+ finals. Yay!

One lecturer highlighted that the university had never let them market the Economics degree to prospective high school leavers before
