Hello current or potential students of Queensland.

On the 17th and 18th July 2010 the annual TSXPO will be on at the RNA Showgrounds, it is also our first year for StudyFinder to be exhibiting at this prestigious event. We thought we would blog about this and more when the event is on to highlight the importance of events like this.

If you have a few spare hours and thinking about what course to do for 2010 or the start of 2011 head on down to the RNA showgrounds in the Valley, Brisbane. Plenty of Universities, TAFES, Private Colleges and Education support networks and associations to help you with finding the course.

As this will be our first time showing we are excited to meet each and every one of you at the show. If you’re at the expo, come and say hi and tell us about what you’ve studied or want to study and what career paths you’re interested in. We would be more than happy to provide you with some guidance on what your options are and provide advice on courses, institutes and pathways that will get you on track to achieving your goal.

In the meantime why don’t you jump onto our website: www.studyfinder.com.au  to view and search for courses within your Area of Interest across many locations around Australia.

Ranking of Unis in Australia

 So to get the ball rolling I decided to look at what the experts reckon our top Unis are ranked at National level and also on the International level. Surprising the results I found below were not to my own expectations of what i thought were the top-level Unis in Australia. Being involved in the Education Industry  in Australia and having been a student a long time ago in New Zealand I had a fair idea of what Unis were rated highly amongst Students, usually based on the reputation of particular courses. Anyway below is the 2009 Ranking of Australian Unis, what are your top 3 Unis in your mind?

UNIVERSITY	Aus	World
