Hi all,
As a precursory note, I am a graduate from the University of Sydney with a BEd (Hons 1M) and BArts (Hons 1).
After 18 months of disenchantment in the secondary education profession, I am considering undertaking a J.D at either UNSW or UTS.
Succeeding much investigation into the UNSW JD and UTS JD, which suggests that UNSW is at the forefront of law studies, in terms of both compulsory and elective offerings and distinguished academic staff, it seems almost irrational to be debating these two options. Notwithstanding this, it is the following piece of information that drives my debate: UTS has the highest graduate employment rate of any law school in NSW. Admittedly, this information is derived from the UTS website.
I have consulted Barristers widely on this topic; they have, informed by their own admitted loyalties and allegiances, suggested either Sydney or UNSW. One, in fact, remarked that ‘UTS is about twenty years behind in reputation’.
I suppose what I’m seeking is a number of responses offering advice about the reality of both the ostensible gap between the universities and the employment prospects upon graduation at each institution.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
P.
