Answer 1

G'day,

Congratulations on being offered by both Monash & UniSA. In regards qualification, material and recognition, all universities in Australia have the same standard and quality, especially for business courses, where it is the bread and butter of the universities in the world.

The reason Monash does not give credit transfer from your previous study maybe because Monash course structure and material is different than the UK diploma or UniSA (even though the course have the same name). This is why I always tell the students to read the course information carefully. Do not assume that because they are the same name, they are all the same (sometimes they don't).

As the previous answerers mentioned, to get a job, your marks are the most important thing. Even if you are graduated from the most famous university in the world you will still got problems in getting job with terrible marks. Therefore you will have to do your best to get the high marks, so you can get the job easier.

My suggestion is this:
Take the offer from UniSA. Study there for at least 1 year. If after 1 year you still want to study at Monash, apply again to Monash, and include your transcript from UniSA. It is most likely that Monash will acknowledge the subjects that you have successfully completed in UniSA, including the credit transfers. This way, most likely you will not lose the time. However... PLEASE remember that you have to do well in your UniSA study, since any universities in Australia will not accept any applications with terrible marks/attendance.

In regards to care and attention, I believe that all universities in Australia have the same approach in assisting students. Lecturers & tutors are available to be contacted outside classtime when they are not teaching.

Hope this helps. E-mail me on [e-mail] if you have further queries. Good luck on your study and welcome to Australia.

Well monash is apart of the group of eight universities, (i guess the australian version of ivy league of Australia although no one really cares here) and univeristy of south australia isnt. I think looking for a job depends more on your experience rather than the university that you came from and if you want to save a year of your life and fees there's no problem going to university of south australia. also, there are university rankings online like the times and others so you can use that as an indicator. I wouldn't know about the staff in university of sa, but the lecturers and tutors here in monash are very friendly and helpful.

Answer 3

im not reading all those details, seriously. No one will. When youre talking to someone do you listen to every little detail. No you dont. So, you go to the best possible university, unless an inferior university offers a better program in what you want to study. But you will switch your major, so go to the best possible school. Oh, and i dont know about down under, but here in the states you dont wanna pay your a ss off at undergrad, so go to the best possible state school. Private is garbage, you basically pay for your grades.

Answer 4

It is hard to say as both univerities are in different states... As to which one will get you a better job, it's not about the uni you go to, it's what your marks are at the end of it. It's not the uni that gets you the job, it's you.
