NSW UNIVERSITIES' GRADUATE SALARIES & RANKINGS - WORLD/INTERNATIONAL RANKINGS

Rankings

Scrolling through tonnes of websites of organisations that rank universities can be tedious, so we've compiled them all below just for you busy HSC students out there.  The ranking of a university may be an indication of their reputation and performance. However, before judging universities based on their rankings, keep in mind that rankings are usually influenced by many factors other than the quality of their undergraduate programs.

Graduate Salaries

Just for your own curiosity, here are the average graduate salaries of each university.
