While state-of-the-art technology and equipment, and up-to-date research are an absolute plus to have in your field of study at university, a program that experientially instils the content in you, prepares you to readily take on the world, tops it all.
Sydney University accomplishes this by aiming to understand how each unit of study is relevant in the current world, and develops them accordingly. While this is true for almost every degree at the University from my observation, a few things in my experience truly set my engineering degree apart. There is a wholly separate unit running through the duration of the course that is dedicated to developing career prospects and etiquettes of aspiring engineers. Moreover, they hardly shy away from statistics that show a greater percentage of engineers opting for an alternate career path post graduation, and instead use it to further emphasise that the professionalism and leadership honed is what will help everyone succeed.
