Offer from UQ and Macqaurie

[younggungho]

Hi Guys,

I have posted previously about choosing Unis in aussie. So now, I have been given offer from UQ (bachelor of commerce majoring in finance) and Macquarie (bachelor of applied finance). I wish to pursue a career in finance in the future in Singapore. Which one should I take? I am going for the 2nd sem next year's intake. Ex- alumni and industry ppl please give your advice as I am going to submit my choice to IDP soon. Thank you all.

Isn't it obvious. Studying in aust is better to stick with the Go8

But is it a target school if you want to break into the local finance industry?

Easy admission so u find a lot of ppl in the same uni trying to do that. How you do standout?
Not to mention u competing with other Go8 grads, and grads from else where.

Ranked low on QS really doesn't mean much. Brown on ivy ranked 49 lower than UQ, but brown grads may have a easier chance in finance than UQ
