Is it easy to study at the University of Sydney?

The University of Sydney has an average failure rate of 40% for each CLASS. The United States gives an average of 40% A's to students in each subject.

The University of Sydney is the most stringent grading institution in Australia and has the highest failure rate in Australia.

It is the only Harvard university in Australia that recognizes each other’s credits.

Cambridge, Oxford, Sydney, as long as the average score is over 75, you can go to any school, and you can apply if you have over 70.

Last year’s data showed that the failure rate of the University of Sydney was as high as 36.8%, and that of Monash was 33.4%. The University of Sydney topped the list.

So although it looks amiable on the surface, the admission requirements are generally not as high as those of Melbourne and ANU, but only those who have actually entered will know what routines are.

This is probably why the University of Sydney can maintain its international reputation despite its low admission threshold.

Regarding the failure rate, there is a legend at the University of Sydney. There is a very beautiful tree next to the Harry Potter Building at the University of Sydney, called the Jacaranda. The delicate friends are really interested in it. I love and hate Keshu. Although the tree is beautiful when it is in bloom, if an odd number of flowers fall on you, you will be cursed to fail in the finals...

It can be seen that the failure rate at the University of Sydney is very high for students. What a shadow, friends, meow ~ three seconds of silence.

After talking about gossip, let’s talk about something serious.

Studying at the University of Sydney

Course Settings

Local students take at least 2 courses, and international students take at least 3 courses per semester, but generally 4 courses. The most basic ones are 2-3 hours of lecture, 1-2 hours of tutorial, and lab for each course every week.

Everyone says that there are a lot of Chinese students at the University of Sydney. In fact, this is not the case. They are all divided into majors.

If you go to study business, about 60%--70% of the undergraduate students are Chinese, and the graduate students will be more Chinese, more than 80%. There is no need to speak English at all. It is highly suspected that people from other countries came to China to study.

For example, take the Academy of Art. There are only twenty or thirty people in the entire academy. Naturally, there are also very few Chinese people, just one or two cute ones.

The best majors at the University of Sydney are medicine and law. There are not many people in these two majors.

Generally, Chinese friends focus on majors such as business, IT, engineering, etc. that can immigrate. There are still quite few Chinese people in other majors.

Learning difficulty:

Related to the failure rate mentioned above. The intensity of four classes a week is really not that high compared to that in China, but why are people still so worried about failing? Of course, it’s because you can’t make up the exam and you can only retake the 4,000 Australian dollars you have to pay... If you want to learn well, you must study more after class. Although there are more homework, you must do your homework well.

Although the failure rate of the University of Sydney is relatively high, professors will not fail students for no reason. If you study more seriously, your daily time should be very full, and you will not be mediocre because of few classes. In fact, each homework will take 20 to 30 hours.

Assessment Difficulty:

For most courses, exams account for 60% of the score, and 40% depends on daily efforts. However, there are also individual courses where the assessment is all based on daily homework, papers, and internship reports. etc., such as social work, early childhood education and nursing.

Press your stomach and sum it up in one sentence, the pressure of exams is really great~

Library

The library of the University of Sydney is generally from Open from 8am to 10pm. During exams, SciTech Library will postpone its closing time appropriately.

Fisher Library

Opening hours are 8:30 am to 10:00 pm. The quiet areas on the 3rd floor, 4th, 5th and 6th floors are very suitable for studying.

If you need to use a computer but are too lazy to bring one, you can go to the computer area on the -1st floor. In the early stage of the exam, try to get a seat before 9 o'clock, otherwise you will have to queue up.

Life at the University of Sydney

The scenery is beautiful

The scenery is better, the climate is also very good, I feel very relaxed, the living atmosphere is very slow, and the work pace is slow. A diverse population is both an advantage and sometimes a disadvantage.

Live here

Apartment:

If you live near the University of Sydney, the apartment is generally 300 Australian dollars/week, and if you go with friends, it is 200 Australian dollars/person; it is close to the school Those further away are about 240/person for a single room, and about 180/person for a double room.

dormitory:

If you can apply for a school dormitory, you can try to apply for a dormitory. Compared with the one near the school, it only costs about 280 Australian dollars a week. The environment is very good and there are many local people. You can make friends and there are many dormitory activities.

House:

It will be cheaper than an apartment, about 260 dollars/single room near the school. Many do not have air conditioning. Homestay:

Generally, it is not very close to the school, and it is also more expensive than a single room. Many do not have air conditioning.

Walk around

What I want to say here is try not to ride a bicycle in Sydney, because there are endless slopes...it would be better to take a train or bus.

If you go to school by train, it costs 2.5 Australian dollars/time.

General public transportation costs about 3.5 Australian dollars, and the minimum amount is 2.1 Australian dollars.

Have fun

If you like sports and travel, it will be great; if you like nightclubs, the experience will be average.

Chichichichi

There are many Chinese restaurants, but the taste may not be authentic. It is more cost-effective and delicious to cook by yourself.

The school canteen is cheaper than outside restaurants. Eating out is about $10, and school is about $8. There are many Chinese restaurants, but the taste may not be authentic. It is more cost-effective and delicious to cook by yourself.

Wear wear wear

The prices of clothes are similar to those in China, so it is very convenient to buy clothes. Australian people pay more attention to hairstyles, but dress more casually. If you are pursuing fashion, you can consider buying them domestically.

My little immature heartfelt words:

My friends studying in a foreign country must learn to live and take good care of themselves. Don’t just play with Chinese people when you go abroad. If you can play more with foreigners, you will understand Australian culture better and live happier.

The school is all-inclusive, but you still need to choose your own future, because it is your choice and interest that will lead you to the field you love. I hope everyone will eventually find their favorite study abroad program~ Wow.
