Finance: University of QLD vs. QUT?

Re: Finance: Uni of QLD Vs Q.U.T?

I'm interested too -

UQ is definately the more prestigous one - when viewed in society......

You can get most of the post grad pricing off the UQ websites - I'm doin my post grad in Project Mangement (M.IT) at QUT though. I don't see UQ providing better IT facilities... but finance, I'm not sure of. QUT has a big facility of business though... I would be unsure of the setup at UQ. The MBA's at UQ cost an arm and leg ...

Good luck... ~

What'd you end up choosing Rastan???

Re: Finance: Uni of QLD Vs Q.U.T?

Like I outlined in an earlier post, I went with QUT. I suppose for a lot of the reasons you see or maybe their 'real world' advertising worked on me. It was a line ball call and at the end of the day it being IN the city worked in its favour for me in case I did end up working part time.

I suppose in a way I was a bit worried about the 'snob' value of UQ (as in it scared me off a bit) but at the end of the day like 95% of the courses its what you do out of uni and your attitude which makes the real difference.

At the end of the day if you're sitting in a job interview, I dont think whether it says QUT or UQ on your degree matters as much as how you carry yourself and your experience and other abilities...

I am mostly going to uni as an excuse to be able to devote myself fulltime to learning how to trade, doing the masters just gives me an excuse and something to show at the end of a year off work, which can then get me work in places where I can extend my trading knowledge further...

It was a big step - I have sold my first house to do it! But you need to risk/invest big to make it big, so I boldly I go...

Rastan,

Any chance of an update? What do you think of the course now? I think the mid year application date is mid June so i have to make a decision soon. Would be interested to hear your thoughts now that you have almost completed a semester.
