Good Universities Guide ratings
The Good Universities Guide Ratings break down how Australian universities are ranked in areas like teaching quality, graduate outcomes, student support, and overall satisfaction. The articles below show you the top performers in each state, and help you understand what each rating means and how they can influence your study experience. Knowing what matters most to you — whether it's career outcomes, campus life, or student support — can help you use these ratings to choose the university that’s the best fit for your goals.


How to use the Good Universities Guide ratings to find the right university for you
On paper, a qualification from one university might seem more or less the same as a similar qualification from another – but when you look more closely the differences run far deeper. Where you choose to spend the next few years while you achieve your next qualification can have a massive impact on your motivation, the skills and industry connections you leave with, and the path you take after university.
