一． 总体概况：
澳大利亚共有36所公立大学，澳大利亚境内没有一个公认的大学排行榜，比较权威的有三个：一是亚洲周刊每年评比的亚太地区大学50强，二是澳大利亚境内的The Good Universities Guides, 三是澳洲政府以拨款额对大学的分级。2000年亚洲周刊评比的亚洲最佳大学中的澳洲大学有10所：

8.ANU 9.UNIMELB 10.UNSW 20.USYD 25.UWA 29.UQ 29.ADELAIDE 33.MONASH 54.UOW 67.MQ

而1999年版的Good Universities Guides 对澳洲大学分级如下：
5星级 Anu Unimelb Unsw Usyd Uwa Uq Adelaide Monash
4星级 Uow Mq Gu Flinders Utas
3星级 Uts Curtin Rmit Qut Latrobe Jcu Newcastle Une Murdoch
2星级 Deakin Unisa Swin Cqu Canberra Uws Usq
1星级 Acu Ballarat Csu Cowan Scu Vut Ntu
1994年澳洲政府对各大学评审如下：
Group 1: Unsw Anu Uq Adelaide Uwa Unimelb
Group 2: Monash Usyd Uow
Group 3: Gu Flinders Latrobe Rmit Utas
Group 4: Deakin Mq Uts Qut
Group 5: Curtin Unisa Newcastle Canberra Murdoch Csu Jcu Une Cqu Scu
Group 6: Acu Swin Cowan Ntu Ballarat Usq Uws Vut
1995年澳洲Graduate Management Association 对MBA 的评比结果如下：

1． Unsw 2. Mq 3. Unimelb 4. Usyd 5. Uts 6. Uq
1999年澳洲Top Graduate Starting Salary Universities: UTS, UOW, ANU, MQ
以上就是澳洲大学的总体评价，值得注意的是澳洲1999年8月人口才达到1900万，而大学就有38所，其中私立2所。 大学人数超过2万的就有17所，留学生人数超过2000的有20所，可见其教育事业的发达，绝对不可以用十年前的数据或者印象来小看澳洲大学。值得中国学生去留学的在我看来只有悉尼、布里斯班、佩斯三个城市的10所大学。以下就是本人的一些看法，由于我是计算机专业的研究生，澳洲现在又急需IT人才，故重点介绍计算机专业的情况。

点评：UTS位于悉尼市，虽然学校规模小、学业要求松、但是毕业后前途好，起薪高。有志有留在澳洲的广大学子，UTS是第一选择。
The Faculty of Information Technology at UTS is renowned as one of the foremost, and most highly regarded providers of IT education in Australia.
Graduates of our innovative courses in IT+Computing, Mathematics and Mathematics and Finance are sought after by industry and the professions, and enjoy high levels of employment both in Australia and overseas. In 1998 the GCCA Graduate Destinations Survey showed that over 90% of graduates from the Faculty were in full-time employment. This regard is also shown through the depth of industry involvement in our academic programs and in our research and consulting profile.
The Faculty is the fastest growing faculty at UTS and comprises two disciplines, computing and mathematics, which form the basis of "enabling technologies" for applications in most other disciplines.
The academic staffs of the Faculty are organized into four departments:
Computer Systems
Information Systems
Mathematical Sciences
Software Engineering
All of the departments contribute to the teaching of the Faculty's courses, and our expert staff and strong links with industry and the professions ensure that our courses are current, relevant and consistently the premier programs of their kind.
The Faculty has a commitment to cooperative education; both of the work experience "sandwich" form and the cooperative scholarship format and more recently, the Faculty has been instrumental in the development at UTS of courses that can be delivered in Work-Based Learning mode.
The Faculty's successes in research are demonstrated through our many achievements such as being the home to one of the first Key Centers (in Advanced Computing), and our current active contributions to the national CRC for Enterprise Distributed Systems Technology and ac3 the Australian Center for Advanced computing and Communications at the Australian Technology Park. The Faculty is also a partner in the Key University Research Strength in Quantitative Finance, one of the leading centers for quantitative finance on the Pacific Rim.
