imo, UTS business wins hands down... it's a practical and forward thinking degree, unlike certain other buried-in-theory degrees offered elsewhere in Sydney..

Then again, I go there so I'm probably biased.. but that's just my two cents.

It is the whole Uni we are concerned about in this forum but if you would like to compare individual unis with individual degrees, I would be most happy to.

and these were the cutoffs to UOW's degrees in 2003. Use them only as a guide because UAIs are surely going to fluctuate from year to year.

Yes. Let's all read highly objective, unbiased information about the University of Wollongong from http://www.uow.edu.au - there's absolutely no way at all that this site could at all be biased in anyway, shape or form.

 

[santaslayer]

You do make a valid point there...that is why I posted two 3rd party accounts of the University so you would'nt say that! This pdf merely backs up what other people say about it!

And anyway, all statistics given in the pdf files are cited from original third party sources.....something you will have to learn when you eventually ddecide that you are capable of going to uni

UOW mooters talk medicine. . .
Sep 28, 2004

University of Wollongong law students are among the best in the country at using quick tongues and sharp wit to debate legal hypotheticals.

UOW law students Thomas Spohr, Molly Choucair, Joel Hiscox and Ben Motro have recently returned from a national legal debating competition called the SRM Torts Moot, where they finished a close second.

The event was run by the Queensland University of Technology (QUT) and was, for the first time, opened up to interstate teams.

The competing mooters had to prepare substantial written memorials (well researched statements of argument) and then participate in a ‘round-robin’ of moots over three days. The other competing universities included the University of Sydney, Macquarie University, University of Technology Sydney, University of Queensland and Queensland University of Technology.

The UOW team made it to the final and were faced with the twin challenges of a hypothetical problem of medical negligence, and the University of Queensland (UQ) moot team.

Specifically, the teams had to determine whether a patient who had relied on a medical expert’s assurances that he would perform a particular operation, could sue for damages on the basis that the operation was in fact carried out (without the patient’s knowledge) by a less experienced doctor. Complications had arisen and it was up to the mooters to establish the legal possibilities and ramifications.

Ruth Davis, lecturer in the Faculty of Law, was extremely pleased with the team’s efforts.

“They worked very hard in preparing for the written and oral aspects of the moot and their success was well deserved, especially considering this is our first attempt at entering this type of competition,” she said.

The teams also impressed senior solicitor Jodie Collins, who said that she was 'flabbergasted' at how good the speakers were.

"They were eloquent, strategic, tactical and very sharp under pressure - it was enjoyable to watch."
