UoM - Inferrior in engineering?

[nak]

They aren't the same course. They have the same course name. The subjects which comprise each course differ. What you learn at one Uni may be quite differnt from another Uni. The teaching standards would almost certainly be differnt depending on which Uni you went. Employers care about what Uni you went to and what marks you got in your course, otherwise people wouldnt give a shit which Uni they went to.

to be honest the "teaching quality" at melb uni aint that great at all. i guess it just all comes down to personally preference.

but yeah, anyone from any uni do get good job prospects with a degree though dispite what uni they go to.

it doesnt mean that if you get a degree in melb uni you will be guaranteed get a job. employers look for many qualities differently.

let's say you are an employer and you have 2 graduated applicants, one from melb uni and one from rmit.
the one from melb uni just scrapes a H3 average and the one at rmit has an average of H1(in melb uni marking scheme) i think its pretty obvious who you would pick to work for you.

and most unis do teach the core subjects, as engineering is a professional degree which must meet Engineers Australia criteria in order to gain approval for their degrees.

I don't think it's pretty obvious whom you would pick to work for you. The UMelb graduate will have learnt a lot more than the RMIT graduate, because the content and level of difficulty of UMelb courses far outstrip their RMIT counterparts.

Many large organisations have an unwritten Melbourne/Monash University only policy.

Not necessarily...but

Very true in some industries. I recall hearing from a partner at a family law firm who said that they 'toss out all the CVs of anyone who didn't do Law at Melbourne or Monash (in Victoria)'.
