Thanks alot for the Lovely Intel!!! you done it again!
🙌🙌🙌
yeahh,, my beautiful campus. had an amazing two years there
Great to hear!
@@ChoosingYourUni i'm looking forward for another shot
Thanks for the video. Im currently finishing my Master in Nurse Practitioner here, one more assignment and Im done. But Im going back for another masters degree.
Good on you mate - a fine achievement!
OMG... thank you so much for this unbiased review. I studied my master degree (Groundwater Hidrology) at Flinders University 2015 - 2017. Watching this video reminds of all good moments when I was a student. ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️
You’re welcome Paul :)
The place has changed so much in recent years - what did you like most about Flinders?
A Life That Travels the 24 hours library and the space outside the uni where people can sit and watch the big screen...
They are nice spaces!
A Life That Travels I know... planning to continue PhD at Flinders #crossedfingers
@@theuglypaulus Well you wouldn't be doing THAT unless you'd had a good experience in the first place 😂😂😂
Good luck!
Most lit out of the three imo. And I've been to all three one way or another ;)
What do you like most about it?
Good day! I know that it's been years since you uploaded this video, therefore so many things might have changed by now. I wish to do Masters in Secondary Teaching and I was wondering if Adelaide has a lot of secondary schools where I can apply for a job after course completion, and if it is easier to get a job over there compared to other territories. Although it has lower rankings compared to UniSA and UoA, in ComparEd, Flinders Uni has much better reviews than the other two universities. Should I apply based on that?
I hope you can give your unbiased opinion and advise on this matter.
There is plenty of teaching work everywhere in Australia right now. Where are you reading the reviews?
Teaching is a regulated course with very specific outcomes required for accreditation, so there will be a lot of similarities between the content of the courses at each of those universities.
It's a great place to come to study indeed.
Miss my sweeeeeet memories here 👍🏻😊
What’s the one thing you think everyone should know about it? Any “secrets tips” to share?
@@ChoosingYourUni the feeling being accepted & respected. And that's natural in Flinders University 😁
Great to hear 👍👍👍
Hi! Came across your blogs while deciding whether to go to Flinders or UniSA for an MBA. Do you have insights on the strengths and weaknesses of each institution? Thank you so much. :)
UniSA would be my personal choice on that. The business school is double accredited and it has excellent researchers on marketing and brand (my interests in the business space). Flinders also has some areas of strength so it’s worth considering what your specific interests are and how they align.
@@ChoosingYourUni Thank you so much for the reply. Really appreciate it. In what areas would you say Flinders is really strong with? My interests is also on brand management but would also want to upskill on digital marketing. Thanks again. :)
I think UniSA is better for those interest areas.
@@ChoosingYourUni Thank you. :)
At the start of the year, I committed to a move to Hobart and to study at UTAS. I must admit it's been an incredibly challenging transition, coming from Melbourne. I have been very disappointed with the empty promises of UTAS and the delivery of education. Seemingly the transition to the city, is impacting the university experience. Did/does Flinders feel vibrant? I'm very interested in their Geospatial program. Though new, it feels like a University that is engaged with their students and wants to see them thrive, with support and learning. Whom would I contact to get clarity on the teaching/learning environment. Online study I find, is very difficult for me at 38.
Hi! Good on you for taking a risk and moving away for studies. I respect that. I guess it depends what you mean by "vibrant". Flinders is a very pretty campus a outside the centre of Adelaide. During the week it is busy enough, but late in the afternoons (and late in the week) it gets quiet like lots of outer metropolitan uni campuses. It's a very good university. I've got a video coming up on the Pros and Cons of Flinders, which you might find helpful, so stay posted!
Hi! Watching this is 2022. I want to do my master's degree in Occupational Therapy or Biomedical Science at an Australian Uni but am really confused about where to go. What are some Unis you recommend just based on your experience?
Lots of great programs out there 👍👍
Knowing about the campus, rankings and support is good and all, but what about the courses themselves? Do you know what Flinders’s teaching method is like? I’ve heard that they’re more hands on than say Uni SA, is there any truth to this? My main concern is the content and teaching methods of a university. The other benefits aren’t that much of a priority to me.
That’s a really good and very specific question.
If I were you I’d try contacting the Teaching and Learning section of the uni and putting that question to them - they’ll be able to provide a specific answer.
Do you think doing a bussiness course is ideal and is the Flinders university good for the bussiness course? And do you think international students feel comfortable and can easily make friends at the university?
Not a bad option imo
Hi Zayoko😊
Did you join up for flinders?
thank you for this video!!!
i intend to study Information Technology at Flinders. can you tell me a bit about the quality of this course at Flinders? and are there any good schools for this major in regional ares in Australia ( except G8). Thank you so much!!
Not super familiar with the ins and outs of that program but all unis in Australia are regulated and reviewed for quality outcomes. Other regional areas: have a look at Perth - that's one of my favourite cities in Australia and is considered "regional" even though there's still plenty of opportunity there.
Hi Huỳnh Trung Chiến😊
We hope you are doing just fine today. Let us help you with your assignments. Here's the fun bit, the first essay is free! Get in touch @bestaustraliatutors@gmail.com
Hi from Sweden! This is one of the good options i got for studying abroad. Im currently studying sport management in Sweden atm and if anyone got any input of how you like this university, the city or anything really I’d be greatful!
What are your other options?
@@ChoosingYourUni The other option in Australia is La Trobe University in Melbourne!
Adelaide’s really nice it’s alot calmer than Melbourne which can be a bit overwhelming at times it gives you more of a proper Aussie experience and doesn’t feel like a massive city that overwhelms you. The uni is also really nice with a nice campus I enjoy it a lot.
Which one do u think is better in terms of teaching University of Adelaide or Flinders ?
That depends. What are you looking to study and what element of "teaching" is most important to you?
I'm joining this university this march. I am hoping to have great time over there
Great! Do you have any questions about it?
In what course bro?
I'm going for master of environmental management there.
@@ChoosingYourUni i have done a deep research on this university. I like everything about Flinders thank you for showing us the real Flinders university 💓 love from international students
@@mohitgrover3760 where are from you bro
Please make a video on university of sunshine coast.
Hi Ritish, I would love to but I’m not often there for work. Maybe later this year!
Is it good for Biomedical Engineering at Flinders? I’ve got an offer from rmit too so I’m confused. I’ve many options, University of Queensland, University of Adelaide, Rmit and now Flinders! Which one do you prefer pls
What I prefer probably shouldn’t influence your decision. All good unis and unique in their own ways 👍
Hi I am planning on studying BE robotics at flinders. I would like to know your opinion about it ? Thank you for the video.
Flinders has a great new engineering and industry innovation precinct. I'm not sure about robotics specifically, but I'm suspecting if it's located there then the facilities should be great.
I have got my offer letter from flinders uni for the course masters in flim and tv, is it good ? can you give me some insight or more details other than what is on the website
Not really - I'm not familiar with that program at Flinders. I'll message their team via FB to see if they can reply to you here.
Is it a good university for Masters in Information Technology? I have offer letter from flinders and Deakin and i am confused ..
Hi Dixit - have a look at QILT.edu.au for a breakdown of how each university performs in various areas. You should also consider which city you want to live in - Adelaide and Melbourne are very different.
Both are good unis.
I am am international student planning to do my masters in water engineering , could you tell me a thing about it ?
Not my area of expertise - can anyone else help out with this question?
Hi, am looking to pursue my MSc in Geospatial information science, is it a good university and do you know of what programs I can apply to to get a scholarship for the same
Not sure for a masters in GIS. That’s a bit too niche for me.
Who said Flinders University ranking is lower than the University of South Australia? Many organizations that rank higher education institutions including THE and ARWU stated that the rank of Flinders University is higher than the University of South Australia. 😊😊😊
Rankings change often. Both are great unis in their own rights.
I am an international student planning to study Master of Health and International Development at Flinders Uni, is it a good program?
Flinders’ Medicine and health programs are very strong.
International development I don’t know.
Check out qilt.edu.au to see if you can find out through the Government comparison
I want to do nursing and I am getting so many mixed things about what uni to go to.
It’s not easy - good luck!
I am choosing between Flinders and UniSA for Master of Teaching. Could you please let me know which one is better for my major? Thank you!
Sorry, missed this question. Let me know if you still need a response.
@@ChoosingYourUni Planning to go next year. Your feedback will be of great help. Thank you.
Hello , I had received an offer letter from Flinders uni and Griffith uni for masters in environment. Can you please help me to chose the right one on the basis of career aspects and student life.
Sorry, missed this question. Let me know if you still need a response.
Hi, im planning to study medicine at flinders. But i've seen alot of bad reviews regarding this major in Flinders.May i know your opinion? ( Experience wise )
Where did you see that? I’ve not heard that so am interested where the info is from?
@@ChoosingYourUni I searched up flinder uni reviews, and this website came up universityreviews.com.au/students/sa/flinders/
Hmmm. I can see there are some bad reviews up there but it’s very few compared with the number of students that go through that program.
Remember that pissed off people are more likely to try to find a place to vent a d share their experiences than people who were satisfied.
Not to say these comments aren’t valid. They may well be (and I haven’t studied that program). But you should try to control for the biases of the people involved.
It can’t hurt you to write to “Jean” on that post and ask for advice. But ask them to be specific so you can decide if their experience is likely to happen to you.
At the same time I’d contact the faculty or uni directly to see if you can find other students (ie satisfied ones) who you can get in touch with two.
It’s always good to hear both sides of the story.
hey i plan to study medicine at flinders asw! can i ask u a few questions abt it?
Where would you say studying medicine is better at, flinders or Adelaide?
I think the Flinders program is awesome. That said, UoA does have an affiliation with the new hospital right in the middle of Adelaide. Both are great and if you get admitted to either you've got great career prospects.
From what I have heard from recent grad the Adelaide Uni meds school is a better program
A recent grad of UoA or Flinders? Did they study at both unis?
Just wondering how they were able to compare?
Pls review Torrens University of Adelaide
Yes! I really need to get there!
Hi I am planning to do my masters in data science at flinders or uniSa. can you please suggest me which university is best. I got offer letter from flinders need you support and understanding to choose best university. Thankyou
Both of these unis have advantages. I've got "Pros and Cons" videos on each of these unis coming up in the next few weeks, so stay tuned!
Any improvements in finding parking? Is it better now? :) thanks
Ha ha - maybe post pandemic it has improved a little but I wouldn’t count on it lasting!
I'm confused between 2 courses.
1. Masters of Health Services Management at UniSA
Or
2. MBA(Healthcare Management) at Flinders Uni
Which will be better in your opinion?
What’s your goal?
I'm a doctor from outside of Australia. These two courses are almost similar. Confused about the courses. Which uni will be better in your opinion?
Is your goal to stay in Australia afterwards to work? If so, is it to keep practicing or (as it appears) to go into the management side?
Yes. I want to stay in Australia afterwards. Will try for license exam followed by practicing, if not possible then I will go into the management side.
Okay, I understand.
My view is the health programs at Flinders are possibly stronger than those at UniSA (though the exception is if you’re looking at a sub-speciality where UniSA is particularly strong). However, I would say UniSA’s business programs are stronger than Flinders.
UniSA is city centre, which is nice since Adelaide isn’t huge. Finders is outer suburban.
So to me it’s probably a question of if you want to preference the health component over the medical. Given both programs are management programs, rather than clinical, my gut feeling is that UniSA might make a stronger choice.
Anyone know in which campus the master of Social Work is ministred? Tks
Looks like it’s on the main campus - www.flinders.edu.au/study/courses/postgraduate-social-work
i'm an overseas student planning to join Flinders, can you tell masters of business is a good program at Flinders?
Id recommend you jump on www.qilt.edu.au to have a look at the results of their performance on the national quality survey.
Is it good for masters in screen and media production?
Not sure about that. Check out qilt.edu.au
I am an indian student who want to get an undergrad degree in biotechnology, such college would be good for me. I’ve short listed flinders, UQ and UoN? Are there any other unis i should consider?
So many great unis. Lots to consider in that question - start here: ua-cam.com/video/DtJax97dQn4/v-deo.html
Flinders University is located in the southern suburbs of Adelaide. It is an area of high immigration from the UK for years. You know what to expect!
Thanks so much for doing this. It's hard to find non-promotional videos of uni campuses so you'll definitely get a subscription from me!
Do you by any chance know much about the Bachelor of Nutrition and Dietetics? I'm considering doing this degree before applying for the medicine degree. I've seen mixed reviews online about the health & medical degrees, but for some reason I have a really good feeling about flinders.
Also, do you know if Flinders is the only university in Adelaide to offer a graduate medicine course? I couldn't find anything on the UniSA website and Adelaide uni seems to only offer undergrad medicine which isn't ideal for me as I'd love to study nutrition & dietetics beforehand.
Cheers 😀☺️
My pleasure!
Great choice for a first degree. The current research on nutrition/diet and it’s impact on longevity and health span is unreal.
I’d highly recommend checking out Dr Rhonda Patrick - she runs a fantastic podcast on health span (although it has a terrible name: Found My Fitness - the content is first rate though!)
I’ve heard about some negative reviews of Flinders med and I’m always wary of one off negative reviews. Remember that people are always WAY more likely to write a review if they’ve had a negative experience than a positive one. So a negative review doesn’t necessarily represent the average views of a cohort.
With both positive and negative reviews it’s ways important to try to see where they align with your interests and to think about the biases of the authors (including me!)
I wouldn’t overthink it too much. Start the program that looks best aligned to you. If you get there and it sucks shit, you can always change to another uni or program. You’ve got plenty of time (unless you’re 80 years old…. Which I’m assuming you’re not 🤣)
Nothing against 80 year olds.
I though UoA had grad medicine too but it’s been awhile since I had a close look so I could certainly be wrong on that.
Hi Isis😊
Did you ever join up for Nutrition and Dietetics? How is flinders so far.
hiiii im from india planning to study medicine here, got a call for an intvw. what time are the offers usually sent out for this program?
Not sure about that, but it’s a very good medicine program 👍
Which one is better for MBA in terms of job and teaching , University of Adelaide or Flinders ?
Both Adelaide and Flinders are good universities. UoA is more "prestigious", but Flinders has really improved a lot in recent years. What kind of job are you looking for at the end? Working for a big company, running a start up etc?
And please let me know about the Kaplan school also
Interesting in starting my own business
If I were you, I would look at the industry connections that each MBA program has. Also look at the names of the professors who teach the courses you might want to take and look to see if any of them work in the industry that you're hoping to start your business in.
So much of an MBA will be about the industry-specific knowledge and connections that you gain, so you'll need to jump into the details of their programs to find out if you're likely to meet the people in that program that will be able to help you as you grow your business.
I have got offer letter from flinders university college of medicine and public health. Could you please tell me flinders university is in regional center (Adelaide city) or regional areas?
Flinders University is in the city of Adelaide. It's about 12km south of the central business area and 5-6km from the beach at Brighton.
The Medicine/Public Health faculty is very well regarded and the university has done a lot to strengthen the student experience, facilities and its research.
I think it's a good university for what you want to do.
They provide any scholarship for medicine
Would you say it's a good idea to do a masters in computer science at this university?
Master of comp sci is a smart degree to do given where the future is heading. Flinders is generally a strong uni for science and tech 👍
I submitted my applications in this University, can u tell me in how many days I will get my offer letter from there for july intake..
No I can’t. I’m not affiliated with the uni so ask them directly.
@@ChoosingYourUni how
Contact their international office. If you applied through an agent, ask the agent.
sitting here as a flinders student going "do i know that person? ooh how about that person."
Ha ha!
Is Masters in Mechanical Engineering a good option at Flinders? What is the current engineering scenario there?
I think it’s a good option. It’s rated no.1 in Australia for learning resources so facilities are good. I believe the program is taught at Tonsley, which is an innovation precinct not far from the main campus and which is closely linked to industry - that’s definitely an advantage.
@@ChoosingYourUni yup the course has a 12 week internship that can be achieved by the help of placement officers and tie ups of flinders University with industries. But I'm scared bcaz there are no reviews from engineering students for flinders 🌝
If you want to put your mind at ease, go to compared.edu.au and compare engineering at Flinders with other unis you’re considering. “Compared” is made up from government data and surveys so it is independent and is trustworthy as an info source. 👍
@@ChoosingYourUni thank you for the guidance & keep up the good work. Bless you 😌
Thanks a lot 👍👍
Hello I choose this university for master in information technology is it good option plz reply
Sounds like a good option to me
@@ChoosingYourUni is it good for pr and job apportunity
There’s a lot that goes into that, like your other attributes. But as a degree,
This will definitely take you in the right direction.
@@ChoosingYourUniI don't understand, can I apply Australian PR by choosing this course?
hlo my pte score is 52 in each 44+ can i apply for australia
Not sure. Best get some specific advice from an agent imo
I am going to apply for my M.Sc. in Engineering Management at Flinders and uni of South Australia next week. Is my course good enough for pursuing a good career in Australia? And which uni should I prefer for that between the two?
Excellent unis for engineering. On the management side of things, I think UniSA has the stronger business program so depends what your end goal is.
Too far from Indonesia I interested if my wife take study at Australia
Sounds like a plan!
Is it good for International community development sir?
I'm not sure about that one.
I want to do master’s in biotechnology in this university. Is it worth to do masters here
Yep, biotech is good and the new-ish engineering and technology campus is pretty awesome
And which campus of flinders biotechnology is studied?
I wonder what masters of business is like? How's the teaching out there?
It’s a decent program at Flinders.
@@ChoosingYourUni Thank you for your input!
🙌
I'm 13 and already planning to study here, lol
Oh cool! Doing what?
Creative Industries
Fantastic. A great industry for the future.
I felt this vlog was slightly biased, just be careful that you're keeping it unbiased as I caught you slipping up a couple of time back there.
How so?
I’ve never studied at Flinders, have never worked at Flinders (or done commissioned work for them). They’re not a partner of any organisation I run. So I have no affiliation or interest in the organisation.
what do you think about their entertainment design course? :)
I don't know if specifically but it sounds like a topic that will be important in future!
Is paramedicine good here ?
Medicine is very strong at Flinders so I'm assuming Paramed would also be good.
people keep asking him about the courses like he studied there ahah.
No, they keep asking because I’m one of the few people that’s visited every uni in the country so kinda know what I’m talking about! 🤣
A Life That Travels thats true
