The above information will definitely help me out in choosing the appropriate university for pursuing accountancy degree course. Further the relevant information gathered from the websites of the universities and various education sites of Australia are reliable as I can rely on the information gathered and the data seemed to be consistent, trustworthy, dependable, sure, genuine and unfailing. Further the information gathered are reputable as most of the student use these sites for making decisions regarding their degree course.

Evaluation 

As I am comparing the above universities I found that CQ University will be most suitable for me considering the fee structure and location. Though all the 4 universities I have considered are reputed and well known universities in Australia for their teaching staff, future focussed learning guidance and student facilities, the major difference among the universities was the fee structure. Hence, if the location and fee structure is considered which the biggest factors in pursuing the course are, CQ University will be most appropriate for serving my purpose. Various reasons are there that influence to choose CQ University. 

In past 25 years, CQ University achieved amazing feats and emerged itself as one of the great universities of Australia. They have been ranked as one of the best with regard to the learning and teaching and are identified globally for focussing on the social innovation. Further, most of their graduates are most sought after in Australia owing to their reputation in terms of work integrated learning, experience and courses aligned with industry.

Inclusiveness –

CQ University is regarded most inclusive university within the higher education segment of Australia. Further, the university respect as well as seek complete participation from the students, staffs and community and value diversity for the culture, experience and backgrounds.

Academic support –

This university provides the students with the option for accessing the services associated with academic supports through academic learning centre (ALC). ALC is the one stop shop for the information, resources and advice associated to various academic communications, statistics, mathematics, accounts, computer requirements and sciences.

Based on the above discussion I have decided that I will choose CQ University for the accountancy degree course. CQ University is further considered as the most engaged and inclusive university in Australia with award winning research and academic staff making the real impact on industries and communities to which they belong. Further, the learning advisors are available always for assisting in online or on-campus through one-on-one workshops or appointments designed for specific project. It defines itself through the persons who embrace it rather than who it excludes (Studyinaustralia.gov.au, 2018). Owing to this the university feels proud for having highest ratio with regard to the disadvantaged backgrounds as compared to other universities from Australia. However, in terms of fee structure and availability of location my 2^nd choice will be University of Wollongong, 3^rd choice will be University of Notre Dame Australia and last choice will be University of Sunshine Coast. For justifying my conclusion I will submit the course fee structure obtained from the websites of the universities, students reviews gathered from various educational websites and past trends of students getting jobs in different reputed companies after passing out from the universities (Universitiesaustralia.edu.au, 2018). However, these evidences are not enough as personal past experience is most important factor in pursuing the course with any particular university.
