About the university

Camperdown. One of Australia's longest continuously teaching universities. The Bachelor of Arts is very wide, so look first at the timetable and the language window.

I

The University of Sydney was founded in 1850, and its main campus is around Camperdown and Darlington. Arts and sciences, business, engineering and medicine each have their own faculty. Many undergraduate degrees are three years, and the Bachelor of Arts in particular is wide: students choose their own majors and minors, the freedom of course choice is high, and you must hold the main thread yourself.

II

The undergraduate business degree looks at quantitative courses and grades. Prerequisites and language requirements for engineering and medicine are set out on the admissions pages, and the length of degree and placement arrangements differ from the UK and Hong Kong. For families who need an executable overseas route, it is often compared with Melbourne in the same group. Before choosing it, look first at the subject timetable and language requirements, then at accommodation and costs in Sydney.

III

The name of the university cannot solve the schedule. A large comprehensive university offers much choice, and you must also avoid scattering your courses. For those who can accept a broad bachelor's with the master's narrowing it later, Melbourne's course structure belongs in the same comparison group.

Grades, language and the start window line up

Being executable matters more than reaching for yet another louder name. Language courses and visa deadlines should be planned early.

Prefers a wider range of subjects

A large comprehensive university offers much choice, and you must also avoid scattering your courses. You must be able to bear the accommodation and living arrangements in Sydney.

Common application directions

The departments and programmes that come up most often in consultations. Within one university, a different department is a different application. Course structure follows what the university's official website publishes for the year.

I

Bachelor of Arts

Bachelor of Arts, commonly three years. Majors and minors are combined by yourself, and the faculty covers humanities, languages, social science and so on. Wide does not mean without direction: within the first two years you must hold one subject main thread, otherwise at graduation you are left with scattered courses. Language requirements and the start season follow the admissions page.
II

Commerce

The Business School's undergraduate degree is three years, with majors such as accounting, finance and management separate, and quantitative courses appearing from the early years. It is often compared with Melbourne commerce: Sydney is closer to entering the business school from the start, while Melbourne commerce also requires non-commerce breadth. Read the handbook before choosing.
III

Engineering and Medicine

Prerequisites, clinical or placement arrangements and language results for engineering- and medicine-related degrees must each be checked separately. The degree may be longer than three years. The name of the university cannot solve this season's language window and visa timing.
