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.
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.
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.
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.
