Wow, is that a loaded question! You'll start an inter-uni war here hun.

We have internationally reputable universities all over the country, you'll have to be a little more specific about which city or state you're looking at.

As far as the Australian National University goes the courses are very theory focussed, whereas University of Canberra is much more practical work. The people I've met from Melbourne uni are all quality people, but I'm also from Queensland, which has a good selection of top notch universities.

The only thing I can suggest is to try looking at internationally accreditation and award sites. Good luck with the choice and the study! Hope you love Oz as much as we do :)

Hi dear, I would say The Australian National University in Canberra.

G'day,

As you can see, every ppl will have different answers to your questions. The alumni and current students will definitely choose their own uni/almamater :)

Some may argue that the university belongs to The Group of 8 (www.go8.edu.au) are the 'famous' one. However they group was formed just to unify the promotional effort. The members cannot claim that they are the best at everything that they offers.

There are only 42 (soon to be 43) universities in Australia, all of them are fully accredited and they are tightly regulated, therefore the quality and recognition of their graduates are equal from wherever university you are studying from. The most important thing is you have to READ the course information carefully, since some courses may have the same name but different content.

There are quite alot of Australian universities offering Law courses to international students. To find out the course that you are taking and where it is offered, I suggest you to go to Dept of Education, Science and Technology (http://cricos.dest.gov.au) and IDP Education Australia website (www.idp.edu.au). IDP is an organisation that gives information to international students who wants to continue their study in Australia. The information abt fees & requirements can be found in the university's website. Please make sure that you access the information for internationals students, since some requirements, application form and fees are different than Australians'.

Once decided on the uni, fill in the application form and send it together with certified copy of your academic qualification. Depending on your country of origin, you may also need to submit an IELTS test results for proof of your English proficiency (www.ielts.org)

Living cost... Sydney and Canberra have the highest living cost, followed by Melbourne & Brisbane, then Perth, Darwin, Adelaide & Tasmania the lowest. I am attaching a weblink from one of the uni in Melbourne as an indication.

So with many options for your to choose, this is my suggestion to narrow down your choice:
1. Choose the city you want to study in. The consideration maybe the lifestyle, living cost and weather.
2. Find the area of law that you want to work/career in. This may be family/commercial/internationa... etc. Check if the uni's are offering the area.

Hope this helps. E-mail me at mikegun(at)studentfirst.com.au if you have more questions abt study in Australia. Good luck for your study and welcome to Australia :)

All the major universities have highly reputable law courses. I would choose a university in the city I wanted to live in rather than pick the city by the quality of the course. There are some universities that specialise in particular areas of law and if you want to specialise in that area then that is a university you should consider. In general, though, a law degree from any Australian university is as good as any other.
