Everything has improved ALOT. Like Kayl on this forum studied much more advanced computing courses in the uni, so that resolves that issue Sniper mentioned.
But it still is not up to par with Western unis. You will find a greater number of 'dumb' people than you would in other unis, but that is just due to lower entry requirements (although I heard that might get bumped up next year).
To make you feel better though, employers are looking less and less at what country you graduated from these days. There are many successful engineers and businessmen who have come out of AUD. Much more than previous years. I guess now, it is more of an issue with work experience.

it's all about making contacts aswell, Brisbane being such a cosmopolitan place.. im sure i'll find many people from various backgrounds, and university is all about having fun too and socialising, hope that's possible in the Brisbane Universities.

I somewhat agree with fatty on some issues. But some top companies prefer graduates from well-established uni than others (comparing entry-level graduates) and trust me in this. I agree experience counts but to get that experience u have to works @ss-shit to get job initially and I have seen employees hire students from well-established uni not bcos the uni id "good or famed" cos either they have hired the previous graduates from these unis and are satisfied with em or the unis train the grdautes up to date. By the way , if u don't like the courses there u can transfer some credits to other uni as my friends had done.

very true.. so you guys have any idea what the specific entry requirements are, as i have been looking at the university websites.. and show other grading/examination systems.. i have studied GCSE, A-level(by the end of the year), and also have an Oracle internet academy passes in JAVA/SQL
thanks.
