RMIT

Griffith is not bad, if you are considering a budget university.

U Syd is also good, but not as good as it used to be. Majors in science go to U Syd.

Macquarie is also pretty good. Very nice environment, it is also getting its own railway station in a few months which is awesome, and a new aquatic centre with indoor heated swimming pool. They're also getting a new robotic library in 2 years time.

according to http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/sto...

UWS and Uni of Sunshine coast is the best for journalism related courses.

Answer 3

I know that 'University of Technology, Sydney' is meant to be one of the best here in NSW

Answer 4

Depends what you rate as "top".  To answer I'll give you three different types of rankings.  1st is based on the Academic Ranking of World Universities based on # of publications and various academic measurements. 2nd ranking is based on how much impact the university has on the web, which could be more important for journalism.  3rd is THES QS rankings

Top 11 based on ARWU:

As for if it is worth going there: Travel broadens the mind, which is always important for media based studies.  If you get in, I'd go.  I'm looking at doing my post-doc in Australia after my studies in the UK.  

Griffith university doesn't appear on any global metric.  Hope this helps.
