I think we are more US centric.

Andy posted something but I haven't heard from any of them.

These universities have undergraduate majors in Quantitative Finance:

University of Sydney
University of New South Wales
University of Wollongong
University of Technology, Sydney
University of Melbourne
Queensland University of Technology
University of Queensland
University of Adelaide
University of South Australia
University of Western Australia
Curtin University of Technology

Among all these universities, I like University of Sydney, Wollongong and QUT programs. Although UTS, Sydney may have reputable QF research faculty but the design of course may prompt me to choose University of Sydney, Uni of Melbourne or Wollongong. UNSW claimed to be great and reputable but I think they are more theoretical. Please check their course contents.

I honestly have absolutely no clue whatsoever about that program. Hopefully someone from that region can comment on it.
