Western Sydney University is a very distinct name among other colleges and universities. The brand name is one of the major reasons I applied to this university amongst other factors. Also, a few references from my friend's.
Course Curriculum
The course curriculum is pretty sorted and is arranged well. Many diverse units are included and units from different schools are also included. Many units are offered in any particular quarter and the student has the opportunity to choose from the units.
Fees
$56200 for 2 years. The fees keep changing with the changes to the economy. It also depends on the amount of scholarship received by the student.
Scholarship
Yes. Automatic scholarship provided by the university after applying. The scholarship is dependent on the grade scored by the student in the previous degree.
Examination Structure
The exams are tailored to each unit. Some units have exams whereas some units only have assignments. For those units which have exams, the exams are held every quarter with 2 units per quarter. They are also held per semester depending on the course structure.
Faculty
Experienced and teach quite well with practical life examples. The visiting faculty is absolutely amazing and all the staff is helpful to everyone. The professors respond to emails immediately and solve the queries. The assignments teach us the real world application of theories learned in class which is good.
Hostel
The campus accommodation worked for me. The rent is inclusive of all the utilities including electricity, gas, water, and internet. The service is convenient with a shuttle bus going to and from the university location.
