Hey Rob, thanks for the review. I just finished studying Communications at WSU, and I loved it so much I now work for the uni! WSU really does offer a world class education.
@@ChoosingYourUni I have no plans to do anything else just yet - the staff are so incredibly supportive, and I'm helping bring the next generation of Western students into our community. I couldn't ask for a better job!
Oh great! You’re working for the uni? Drop me a line rob@globalsociety.com.au - I’m working on a new project that will help put the uni in front of more prospective students.
Congratulations....you got a job at a world class Uni..😍 ....🤔....but it's not crash hot in Sociology - History-and Humanities in general....way too woke for a functioning real world...sorry. 😰
I just recently received an offer for psychological and social science at WSU Parramatta South campus and I thank this video for compelling me to apply. Thank you!!
No worries! I love how much WSU has changed in the past 10 years. All really positive and the uni has come through covid pretty well too (notwithstanding being closed during lockdowns of course).
Free text books! I attended UWS Macarthur Campus in the 90s. I had to pay $75 for a Research Methods textbook, that we literally opened ONCE, and that was to look at a diagram as an exercise in which an image was explained verbally to someone else, who had to draw it. I barely recognise the campus anymore. So much has changed.
The free textbooks would have been after your time. Not sure if they still do it. This is the Parramatta campus. Haven’t been to the MacArthur one for filming yet.
I appreciate your hard work,rob..You deserve 100k Subscribe or more..Thanks for helping us to choose perfect university.. Your video helps me a lot to find best uni in Australia.. Best of luck to u rob.God bless you Man💙💥
I have received an offer letter from WSU paramatta for masters of health science majoring in health management and UOW Wollongong campus, masters of health informatics. Which should I choose considering future employment & job prospects
I reckon Western is a really good choice there, but informatics and management are kinda different so without knowing your interests and goals it’s a little hard to say. Health sciences are also good at UoW.
Hi Rob. In your opinion which university is better when it comes to bachelor of business with the majors being Human resource management and marketing. UTS vs WSU?
I did a BSc degree on Agriculture (4 years) and a master degree in environmental science, focusing research on riverine nutrients transport process and controls on them. I want to hybrid the knowledge of those two fields in my PHD. I have a particular interest to soil science as well. Could you give me some guidance about which universities are the best suited for me.. I was able to get a First Class in my bachelor and two first author papers in my masters as well.
Sorry, that’s too specific for me. PhDs are highly specialised and depend on many things so you should try to identify some individual researchers you admire or find faculties that are producing interesting research.
Hey Rob, thanks for the review. I just got an offer for Masters on information and communication (advanced) from WSU. Just wanna know should I pursue it
Hey Rob, Marco here. Thanks for your captivating and educative reviews! I'm interested in studying environmental science in Australia and Western Sydney University is on my list. Have you ever been to the Hawkesbury campus in Richmond? It's the campus where I would study in case that I enroll at this institution and I'd be glad if you have any info regarding this campus.
Hi Marco, thanks for the message. No I haven’t actually been out to that campus (Western has so many!) That part of the city is right at the foot of the Blue Mountains, so you’ll have close access to a beautiful wilderness area on your doorstep if you study there. The Hawksbury River is also there, which is the main river running around SYDNEY. If they have topics on river health it would be interesting there. There’s not very much to do in Richmond and it’s really far from the city centre. But if you want a quieter, almost “country” experience and love the outdoors, it could work for you.
Hi Marco. Great to know that you want to study at Western. I would recommend calling our Univeristy at 1300 897 669 and the Course Information team should be able to help you with any questions. You can ask me here as well if you want and I can try to help you out.
Yes, I would to go WSU for that tbh. Imo, always better to be on a full uni campus than a study centre (VU is a Victorian uni, so the Sydney "campus" is more a study centre than a full campus".
I'm going to study Master majoring in Food Technology. I'm confused between University of Queensland and WSU. UQ is in G8 and WSU has cheaper tuition. Please give me some reviews. Is WSU good enough and offers as much opportunities as UQ does? (I mean job offers, courses, extracurricular activities...)
Really depends on your personal circumstances and what's the highest priority. UQ is a stronger uni overall across most of your criteria... except cost of course. So it depends on your personal circumstances as to what extent that is a deal breaker. I believe food tech is on the priority list of disciplines for Australia. See this video about the announcement: th-cam.com/users/shortsA4pj_6gedMg?feature=share
See, I am meant to be studying at western in a few months but I have heard absolutely Horrible things from students that have been there! But all your comments on the videos say they loved it. I know everyone has different experiences but I am so scared to go here now after what I've heard from people. Can anyone say it's 100% worth it to go there?
Both these programs have their strengths. I personally studied at Macquarie so I am a little biased and would prefer MQ over WSU for that program, but WSU has a lot going for it too - including being in a fast-growing region of Sydney.
I really love this university, but as an international student, I don't know what will happen because the government is always changing rules in Australia.
Our Government has been a bit shit on visas tbh. Hopefully we'll see an improvement next year after the next election (which normally will be held before May).
Hey, How are you Can you help me out.😅 I am confused which uni to choose western Sydney main campus or University of Wollongong South western Sydney campus. As the university of Wollongong is ranked in 10th in Australia and while Western Sydney is around 27th in Australia. Please can you help me out , which uni should I choose and why. Thanks Alots in advance 😁
Hi mate - I need a lot more info in order to provide an opinion. Ranking alone is rarely useful. What subject area? What are you interested in outside Uni? What are your goals?
@@ChoosingYourUni hey 😃 thanks for quick Response 🤩 i am interested in computer science. My goal is to become software Developer. Outside uni I like to play football ⚽.
My gut feeling says WSU, but really based on the football as much as the studies. There’s a great soccer scene in western Sydney with heaps of teams. There’s also a great business CBD in Parramatta, so lots of work and internship opportunities. Wollongong has the advantage of being “regional” for visa purposes and it’s a beautiful Uni. Cost of living is probably about the same between Wollongong and Western Sydney.
@@ChoosingYourUni hey thanks for reply 😁 means alot 😀. I will Prefer Studies as it's is my No.1 priority. So which University would you suggest for bachelor of computer science Western Sydney or University of Wollongong South Western Sydney campus 😊.
Hey Rob, thanks for your educative review . Im interested in studying Social Work in Australia. But i have two option between western sydney uni and uni of south australia. Whats your opinion about these two? Your opinion will help me a lot thank you ❤️
Both good degrees, well regarded. Living in Western Sydney and Adelaide will be quite different experiences - my personal preference would be Adelaide, because it's smaller, cheaper, cleaner and easier to get around. But Sydney has advantages too.
Both good unis. Depends if where you want to study - UTS is right in the middle of the city, so very urban and busy. Excellent industry connections and options like overseas study and leadership programs. Great food nearby and transport links. WSU is in the outer city of Parramatta - lovely big open campus and more relaxed vibe. Both programs are accredited so will follow similar study paths. Cost of living is likely lower out at WSU (and I'm guessing the student fees might be lower too) if that's a factor for you.
hey rob! first of all i wanna thank you as your videos are so helpful and to the point,now i have received offer from WSU,Griffith and UOW for the course master in finance and i'm really confused which uni to select, can you help me with the same?
@@ChoosingYourUni My sister stays in paramatta city so as per accomodation point WSU suits me more but i guess UOW is more renowned,so what do you suggest?
Hey Rob, love your videos. Just wondering if you've had the chance to look around Wollongong Uni and your thoughts on it? I am currently on a gap year and was travelling in India pre-Covid and now working at a hospitality venue in a pretty well paying job to save up. I'm trying to get into undergrad med next year but it is unlikely (if I do get any offers I certainly won't have the privilege of choice) but as a plan B looking at doing a bachelor of arts as I don't really know what I want to do, chucking in some subjects of tidbits I'm interested in including contract law (would never do a full law degree), Chinese, probably an economics or commerce subject. My question lies in where you think would serve my purpose best. I'm a Canberra boy but love the beach, surfing and sea air. Currently I'm looking at UNSW (super flexible with degrees might come in hand but trimesters are confusing), Wollongong, Newcastle and UQ but am open to other options. Thanks and let me know!
Hi mate - Yeah I have some ideas on this. Can you ping me a DM on IG? Much easier to have a back and forth convo there than in the comments on YT. @alifethattravels.
Hey!! My uni offers twinning program where i can study the last 2 years of my engineering in Western Sydney University or University of New South Whales which one do you prefer?
Which one I prefer isn’t necessarily the best thing for you 😁 Each uni has its strengths- you should try to identify the strengths of each uni and how those align with what’s important to you.
I'm a doctor in Bangladesh, I have got offer for MPH with 15k AUD scholarship, i have plan to do Phd after my Masters, Will it be a good decision for me join in UWS?
I have received an early entry offer from Western Sydney Uni and expecting an offer from Wollongong University aswell, i live in Western Sydney and chose to study a Bachelor of Business for both. I chose the campbelltown campus for western and the liverpool campus for wollongong, The wsu campus looks vastly nicer than the wollongong one but the wollongong university ranking is much higher? whats your opinion?
Great question mate and thanks for the detail. Liverpool is relatively recent for UoW. It’s a satellite campus, not the main game. As such, I personally don’t think you’ll get the full UoW experience there as many of the main services are down in the Gong. Ranking definitely isn’t everything. WSU is a uni that’s improved SOOOO much in the past decade. I think their vice chancellor (the boss of the uni) has done a kick arse job. If it were WSU Parra vs UoW Wollongong I would find the choice harder, but parra vs Liverpool is a win for WSU Parra in my book.
@@ChoosingYourUni Im looking forward to study in the computer science branch but I've read many blogs about the branch that its not as good as it seems... Is it true?
I haven’t studied there so I can’t really give you an objective opinion on it. I’d look at compared.edu.au and see the student satisfaction and graduate employer ratings for WSU in the IT are.
@@ChoosingYourUni Can u help me out with one more question? Does age really matter for these universities? Like if I'm 20yrs old is there any chance that I can do my undergraduation here or any other australian universities?
The best thing I saw in this video was the sculpture of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the father of nation of Bangladesh at 5.02 Really proud as a bangladeshi❤️
Hey, Rob. Your video reminds me of every day driving my wife to work, where she has been working on her dissertation for four years at this campus. We are from Indonesia, and the ambience on this campus is something we will never forget.
How many campuses do they have? I thought it was just a tall building. Is this the parammata campus near westmead? Can you please tell me what campus this is?
This is the Parramatta main campus, NOT the Parramatta City campus (the tall building). WSU has quite a few campuses, the up to date list is on their website
Here's my unbiased review....I started a 2nd degree at WSU ..........when it was University of Western Sydney UWS. Any Institution that pays 8 million dollars to rebrand themselves by changing the order of three letters is making too much money and more into the economics of busine$$ than the business of knowledge. So Rob forgive me, but are you being remunerated/sponsored or have any other side benefits 🙄from your informative and unbiased reviews ? Maybe 🤏 ?
Nope. Nothing whatsoever. That would be dishonest, wouldn’t it? This channel has cost me tens of thousands of dollars of my own time and money. But I believe it is valuable to students, which is why I’ve continued to do so. Personally I think the WSU brand is much stronger than UWS was. The university is performing better than it was back then too. I know that “branding” seems like a ridiculous waste of money… but that’s the way it works. All major organisations pay huge amounts because it’s not just about changing around a few letters and colours. There is tonnes of research and consultation that goes into it, plus the hard costs of changing over. The uni has an annual budget in the hundreds of millions of dollars. If you had $500 in your wallet, would you bat and eyelid spending $8 on a new shirt to look more contemporary? It’s easy to get hung up on things like rebranding costs but I prefer to look at the positives. WSU is generous with scholarships, offers textbooks and technology to students and is active in the community. Those things rate higher for me than one of costs that every major organisation periodically has to spend to stay current.

Great! Why?
Yeah, tell us why
Is it that bad?
why would you choose wsu over usyd
USyd (and the GO8 in general) is primarily research focused not teaching focused.
That's the prettiest school I've seen look so clean!
Yep. One of the top “prestigious” campuses in Australia imo
@@ChoosingYourUni When You say" campuses ", you mean the school itself or the Campus you were in where you filmed?
back then this uni was called the University of Western Sydney (UWS) they rebranded it. I graduated back in 2012, lovely campus indeed.
I visited UWS a lot back in the day. The uni has really come a long way and I really love the rebrand tbh

Has the transportation situation to WSU changed since your review. ? It’s been 2 years.
Not that I'm aware of.

It’s not the uni that will get you a job afterwards, that will be up to you. But a good degree is always an asset when looking for a job 👍
hey rob, either thinking about here or notre dame for nursing. need as many opinions as i can get to stabilise my decision. what do you think is best?
Notre Dame for that imo
Best student satisfaction in the country, or close to it, for that.

I have received an early entry offer from Western Sydney Uni and expecting an offer from Wollongong University aswell, i live in Western Sydney and chose to study a Bachelor of Business for both. I chose the campbelltown campus for western and the liverpool campus for wollongong, The wsu campus looks vastly nicer than the wollongong one but the wollongong university ranking is much higher? whats your opinion?
Great question mate and thanks for the detail.
Liverpool is relatively recent for UoW. It’s a satellite campus, not the main game. As such, I personally don’t think you’ll get the full UoW experience there as many of the main services are down in the Gong.
Ranking definitely isn’t everything. WSU is a uni that’s improved SOOOO much in the past decade. I think their vice chancellor (the boss of the uni) has done a kick arse job.
If it were WSU Parra vs UoW Wollongong I would find the choice harder, but parra vs Liverpool is a win for WSU Parra in my book.
I'm from India and I have an offer of MBA from Western Sydney Uni. Would it be worth joining and that too specializing in Marketing?
What are you hoping to get into once you finish?
@@ChoosingYourUni Media and Entertainment sector. But my bachelors is in Electronics and Communication engineering.
I'm from india and i would like to do my undergraduation in Western sydney university..Would it be worth it? Is this university good?
Yes it’s a good uni. What area are you looking to study?
@@ChoosingYourUni Im looking forward to study in the computer science branch but I've read many blogs about the branch that its not as good as it seems... Is it true?
I haven’t studied there so I can’t really give you an objective opinion on it. I’d look at compared.edu.au and see the student satisfaction and graduate employer ratings for WSU in the IT are.
@@ChoosingYourUni Can u help me out with one more question? Does age really matter for these universities? Like if I'm 20yrs old is there any chance that I can do my undergraduation here or any other australian universities?
Age has no real impact on your chance of admission 👍
The best thing I saw in this video was the sculpture of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the father of nation of Bangladesh at 5.02
Really proud as a bangladeshi❤️
Oh great! I didn’t know that 👍
I really like this campus.
another banger
🙌
This video is Nice
🙌
Hey, Rob. Your video reminds me of every day driving my wife to work, where she has been working on her dissertation for four years at this campus. We are from Indonesia, and the ambience on this campus is something we will never forget.
Love it Coky! Glad to hear it gives you good memories!

How many campuses do they have? I thought it was just a tall building. Is this the parammata campus near westmead? Can you please tell me what campus this is?
This is the Parramatta main campus, NOT the Parramatta City campus (the tall building). WSU has quite a few campuses, the up to date list is on their website
Here's my unbiased review....I started a 2nd degree at WSU ..........when it was University of Western Sydney UWS. Any Institution that pays 8 million dollars to rebrand themselves by changing the order of three letters is making too much money and more into the economics of busine$$ than the business of knowledge. So Rob forgive me, but are you being remunerated/sponsored or have any other side benefits 🙄from your informative and unbiased reviews ? Maybe 🤏 ?
Nope. Nothing whatsoever. That would be dishonest, wouldn’t it?
This channel has cost me tens of thousands of dollars of my own time and money. But I believe it is valuable to students, which is why I’ve continued to do so.
Personally I think the WSU brand is much stronger than UWS was. The university is performing better than it was back then too.
I know that “branding” seems like a ridiculous waste of money… but that’s the way it works. All major organisations pay huge amounts because it’s not just about changing around a few letters and colours. There is tonnes of research and consultation that goes into it, plus the hard costs of changing over.
The uni has an annual budget in the hundreds of millions of dollars. If you had $500 in your wallet, would you bat and eyelid spending $8 on a new shirt to look more contemporary?
It’s easy to get hung up on things like rebranding costs but I prefer to look at the positives. WSU is generous with scholarships, offers textbooks and technology to students and is active in the community. Those things rate higher for me than one of costs that every major organisation periodically has to spend to stay current.
