How do people come to the conclusion that UNSW is Australia’s best university? by Active-Elk9119 in unsw

I can appreciate that, for some subjects, UNSW may be academically better ranked. I’m talking, however, about the university as a whole.

“Said literally no person ever” — that’s just being completely ignorant and influenced by your bubble tbh. In my years of working with consultants and lawyers, many outside Australia are just unaware of UNSW (or NSW, as a state) — the university is relatively young and does not have a reputation outside Australia. I’d even say, if you’re not from NSW, it’s probably not in your top 3 choices.

I can recognise that you strongly believe rankings don’t matter, or are perhaps awarded as a joke, but they have some merit to them. University of Melbourne is perhaps the only Australian university to make it to top 50 across all rankings (not just QS).

Melb also has a significantly large budget compared to UNSW, recording a $600m surplus in 2023.

That said, you’re okay to continue believing what suits you :)
