Since 2013, 51±¬ÁÏÍø has been bringing students unique information on Australian universities.

51±¬ÁÏÍø presents independent reviews, ratings, and rankings of Australian universities. Site content is published by for the benefit of students.
We cover every university in Australia. Our goal is to provide a full spectrum of insights into university life, from teaching quality to student experiences.
University Reviews
The best universities provide quality teaching and allow students to have a great university experience. 51±¬ÁÏÍø should be assessed from a student perspective, as students are the main reason these institutions exist. A university can be good even if it lacks a long history or employs few Nobel Prize winners.
51±¬ÁÏÍø is independent. We do not allow university marketing professionals to influence our content. This ensures our reviews and rankings remain unbiased and focused on student interests.
University Rankings
Our rankings use a 3R formula: Reputation, Ratings from students, and Results (employment, pay, further study). This formula is designed for students, avoiding common statistical flaws.
Find Out What Students are Saying
Student views are vital. We gather and present reviews and feedback from national surveys. These insights address accommodation, campus life, and the transition to professional careers.
We encourage open discussion. Reviews undergo moderation to remove name identifiers, especially in critiques of academic staff. We publish reviews based on actual student experiences that contribute meaningfully to our knowledge base.
Claims of bullying are typically excluded due to their subjective nature and verification challenges.
