Bachelor of Liberal Arts and Science - Batch of 2026

The faculty is extremely diverse in terms of nationality and are very helpful.
Tips: There aren’t many Indian food joints that are good. It’s better to cook Indian food at home. Sometimes Indian restaurants provide you with very bad quality because, for obvious reasons, you can’t replicate the food you eat here in Sydney and the food you get at home. The faculty is extremely diverse in terms of nationality and very helpful with everything. Even if you don’t understand things in classes, they take the initiative to meet you separately and guide you appropriately. You can also schedule several meetings regarding your future at the university. If you aren’t 100% sure about going abroad and investing so much money in it, then don’t do it. It takes a lot out of you emotionally and physically, might not even be what it’s like in movies. But if you really know you can do this, then go for it because it’s definitely worth it.

The faculty is very knowledgeable, approachable and supportive.
Tips: Students should make sure they are choosing the right course. They should make sure they have a proper career path in mind and know what they want to do in the future. It's very expensive to change course later on, and almost impossible to complete a different course within the given time. Once students have enrolled in a course, they should make an effort to stay on track. The faculty is very knowledgeable, approachable and supportive. They're also highly specialised, with the majority having Ph.D.s. The teaching is research-oriented and application-based. This includes practical learning, case studies, and interdisciplinary collaboration. The faculty is also quite diverse, bringing a global perspective to the student learning experience. The teaching method is highly effective and collaborative. The city itself is really nice, and the people are warm and welcoming. Great weather, although be aware that the sun here is particularly harsh, so sunscreen is a must. The only downside to the area is the insanely high rents in the city. I really enjoyed my time studying at the University of Sydney.

There are a lot of opportunities to get involved in, catering to a wide variety of interests.
Tips: Make sure to research the course you’ll be pursuing, exchange options, scholarships, country, and future in that country for that course. Connect with graduates of that course on LinkedIn and ask for advice and their experience. Search the government website for scholarships. Student life is really good. However, it honestly depends on how much you involve yourself in the various opportunities offered. There are a lot of opportunities to get involved in, catering to a wide variety of interests. Explore your interests and make the most of them. Also, make sure to ask seniors about what they enjoyed. Internships are not supported directly by the university. You need to find them yourself. Many internships are only open to citizens of Australia or permanent residents. There are very few choices for international students, and you may have difficulty finding one. You will need to network with people and make contacts in order to land an internship.

The university is super organized, the campus is beautiful and the faculty is amazing.
Tips: The transition was nerve-racing but exciting. It did take a couple of months to adjust as moving from India to Australia was a massive shift. But by the third semester, it did start to feel like home. There were a lot of cultural differences, but overall, the people are really sweet in Australia, and that really helps. Once you start to find your own set of people or even one person you can rely on, it starts getting better. I did not apply for any scholarships as I wasn't aware. I'm really satisfied with my university as well as the country. Australia is really underrated. The University of Sydney is one of the best in the world, and it does live up to its reputation. Everything is super organised, the campus is beautiful, the faculty is amazing, and you do find your people eventually. Sydney is known to have really beautiful weather, stunning beaches, and, of course, the ever-charming Harbour Bridge and Opera House. There are so many clubs/societies/events to get involved in on campus, and you can make your university life fun. Most of my friends and I landed casual jobs very early on, which helped us with our finances, so I'm really happy with my decision.
Likes (Public transportation): Sydney's public transport is known to be one of the best in the world and I can definitely second that. There are buses to and from all the busy areas. The buses are almost always on time and super clean. Train station and trains are super clean and easy to navigate. I've never had to deal with problems due to public transport, it's super convenient.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): I don't have a lot of knowledge about permanent residence; however, it isn't as hard as other countries like the US and UK. I've seen a lot of people get PRs. I am too attached to India, so I still think I would come back but I definitely think it is an amazing country to permanent settled in.

The pleasant Sydney adventure.
Tips: There are a lot of cultural socks when initially shifting here, but not in a bad way. However, Sydney being really safe is a big advantage as I feel safe working in libraries till late. I was awarded a full scholarship called the Sydney International Undergraduate Academic Excellence Scholarship, which covers 100% of my tuition and student amenities fees. I received it by applying and submitting a scholarship question form with details and my resume, as well as grades for 12th, which played a big role. I am personally pretty satisfied right now, but I hope to do even better academically, and I'm happy with my current group of friends. The societies and clubs are big and allow for many social and hobby-related experiences as well as sports culture.
Likes (Safety): Sydney, in general, is a really safe city, and the university takes several steps to make sure that the students feel at home, including several support staff that you can approach as well as a free security shuttle bus to the train station for students staying till late for classes or studying. My experience has been good as it's a beautiful city with beaches everywhere and mountains within 2 hours from the city. The food variety in the city is amazing.
Dislikes (Value for money): Being on a full scholarship, I never had to worry about tuition. However, considering the full tuition without any scholarships, it's a little overpriced because Sydney's rents are very high, and so is the cost of living. So, paying high tuition may be something you want to look at from a personal standpoint. In my case, I probably wouldn't have made it abroad without my scholarship.

The University of Sydney Business School provides a lot of opportunities for students.
Tips: There was no cultural shift that I experienced here as I have been in Sydney since I was 13 years old. Therefore, I was used to the vibrant multiculturalism of the city which facilitated a smoother transition for me from high school to university. Unfortunately, I did not avail of any scholarships yet however, I will be eligible for the Vice Chancellor's Global Mobility Scholarship for university exchange programs as my Weighted Average Mark (WAM) is currently around 80 which lies in the Distinction (D) range according to the university's grade descriptors. I am very satisfied with the course, university and the country of Australia which I often call a 'land of opportunities.'
Likes (Safety): The university has employed specialist staff who assist in reporting and resolving issues such as sexual harassment, assault, intimidating or threatening behaviour and discrimination or unfair treatment. These university support services are available between 9 am to 5 pm every weekday. Moreover, there is also a Sydney Uni app that provides students access to maps, locations and amenities.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are a limited number of Indian restaurants available in my locality as well as the suburb in which the University of Sydney is located. Even though there are some Indian restaurants, the variety of local food offered is limited and the taste is not too authentic. Therefore, I prefer a mix of both eating outside and cooking dishes by myself in terms of Indian food.

Bachelor of Engineering Honours (Software Engineering) - Batch of 2025

The university has strong and interactive curriculum. The faculty are very talented.
Tips: Before coming to Sydney University, I recommend that you research the course you have selected to determine its long-term value. Also, find out which courses you will need to take throughout your degree. There is a cultural shift in the Australian way of living. People don't like being referred to as Sir or Madam. Overall, studying is stressful, but I am satisfied with my course and the country I am living in.
Likes (Public transportation): Sydney transport is very convenient as the lines are generally connected to most of the major stops as well as the frequency of the transport coming in every 5-10 minutes. The weak part of the system is the bus which generally takes 30-60 minutes to wait.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Usually, large companies sponsor visas like Google or Microsoft. As well as well-known companies in the local area. They generally offer work visa to accelerate settlement in Australia. Job roles for my degree is Graduate/Intern software engineer in the early career.

You should know what you want to achieve before joining the University of Sydney.
Tips: Before joining students should know what they want to achieve from their course, otherwise, they would feel very lost. A cultural shift would usually be felt in classes with group work. Scholarships I got were mostly project based, like research in 3-4th year. The course quality itself is debatable but highly dependent on individuals. Lectures are useful if you attend the tutorials/lab to consolidate them. I clean towards research than regular coursework in my final years, so I enjoy the honours year more.
Likes (Internships): The guidance for off-campus internships are very high-level and mostly focused on the application process. However, since internships are a compulsory module for engineering students, this forced me to apply for internships during my undergraduate years, which turned out to be a beneficial experience. On-campus internships are research-oriented, but there are relatively sufficient opportunities for everyone.
Dislikes (Value for money): The course quality at the University of Sydney varies a lot, and I think the overall quality is average. Also, the tuition fee increases every year, which is probably due to inflation. However, it's still very difficult for international students to support themselves with the full-time course requirements without some kind of extra income.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Usyd Description by a postgrad student
Tips: Everything regarding planning your course must be discovered yourself. And networking with like-minded individuals is just as important. The curriculum sometimes clashes with undergrad students which makes you question the postgraduate degree but it's easier to find internships.
Likes (Indian Food): Plenty of Indian food restaurants in the city. I work a part-time job at one of them. So anytime you crave Indian food just go down to paramatta, Harris park, and you'll find plenty of food joints representing different cuisines of India. So can't really miss home food here.
Dislikes (Internships): Internships in my field of study are available only for domestic students, as I found out recently. There's a lot of competition when it comes to roles like Research Assistants and Teaching Assistants, it's always better to look for internships externally.

A great place to study and even better to live life at.
Tips: Studies here are much more difficult than they appear to be. Also, getting admission is easy so students must not think the same about the studies. The orientation week could be the most useful week of the semester. One should focus on paying more attention to degree planning before starting the course.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty at USYD is very easy to reach out. From ground level tutors with whom we interact daily to senior heads of departments, everyone is an expert in his/her field of teaching. The faculty in each department is perfectly attributed with all the necessary skills of a teacher.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Since my origin country is India, for obvious reasons no place/ country can match the amount of food and flavour choices that we get in India.
There’s not a lot of options for street food and Indian snacks anywhere inside or around the campus.

Tips: Students should be well-versed in at least two languages, one of which can be English. They must possess a high level of proficiency in the English language. They should be extrovert in nature.

In Sydney, the financial capital of Australia, there are various sorts of quality part-time jobs available, which are customized or specially designed for students.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Although some sorts of Indian cuisines are available at this college, one may not get access to some of his/her favorite Indian dishes. Various sorts of continental dishes are available. But Indian cuisines are relatively less available than continental dishes.
