<li>Local employers' perception of Australian uni grads:</li>
</ol>
<p>I am aware that local employers (especially in the government sector) are skeptical of Australian university grads due to their belief that the latter are usually local uni rejects.</p>
<p>(a) BUT what about the private sector in Singapore? Are they as skeptical as well?</p>
<p>While it is true to a certain extent that some local university rejects went to Australia, I believe that they usually go to the second-tier G8 universities such as UWA and UQ. On the other hand, certain universities such as UMelb and Australian National University (ANU) have much higher entry standards though .</p>
<p>(b) So, how do local employers (both government and private sector) perceive such top-notch Aussie unis? Are they the exceptions?</p>

<li>SMU business or University of Melbourne (commerce):</li>
</ol>
<p>(a) SMU biz graduates, as I know, are quite valued in Singapore as they enjoy the best employment prospects among all local uni business graduates.</p>
<p>But, I REALLY do wish to work overseas in the future, and if possible, migrate. In this aspect, I am concerned that SMU is not as globally recognised as UMelb yet. </p>
<p>So, with regards to overseas employment prospects, would I be right to say that UMelb would serve me better?</p>
<p>(b) Furthermore, I heard UniMelb is pretty renowned for its business programme. Thus, despite the rigorous biz education in Singapore, is the standard of UMelb's business programme higher than SMU or even NUS/NTU for that matter?</p>
