I think I'm gonna get flamed by the others for not clearly going through the methodologies used first before simply posting em out

But can't deny, just take for example mechanical ranked by guardian is 2nd in UK. Meaning, anytime better than 3 quarter of the world.

No la, just the best example.

Many of the others would be top 10 and also top 15 in UK.

According to rules, no more than 1 person is allowed to stay in the room. Coz it's single occupancy.

But similar to hotels, people just do it hush hush. No one's there to check.

Hotel situated at the nearby town.

Either 5 km, or 10 km away.

I took some time to search for it too.

The site ain't too user friendly.

Hey zstan makes me feel like I should have chose Monash over Notts back then. lol

But not really. I'd prefer the UK system over the Australian. Australian for me would take longer in terms of accomplishment.

And hey, Notts is one of UK's top 15 universities, and some of its programmes are among the best in the country (based on rankings), e.g. the Mechanical Engineering is 2nd place in UK.

With the top 15 universities, and compared to the top 8 universities, it really doesn't matter much. If we were to compare every single thing, I'd even say holders of UK degrees will possess more recognition in the international corporate arena if compared to an Australian degree. But it doesn't really matter very much when the universities are among the popular ones in the country, you can say it's on par, and what you've just gotta do is obtain at least a distinction/second class upper. You can say there's a difference if you take ANU and compare it with Notts though, if the course years being equal, I'd go for ANU. Sometimes it's the prestige that matters.

The newspaper ranking, do you mean the Setara ranking? If so, Monash & Nottingham are in Tier 5, and are only in the list based on alphabetical order.

Yep. Because we're being awarded the same, identical degree.

To further confirm it, (at least for the business school) EQUIS and AMBA accreditation of Nottingham UK take into account the programmes delivered in Malaysia and China.

But I do hope you get the idea that a 2nd tier university will always possess the good of a 2nd tier, and never a 1st tier.
2nd tiers are usually on par in quality and prestige (overall), with some societies favouring one over the other.

I wouldn't say so.

I would say.. Imperial is.



Simple, take our results for example, for your undergrad you could have got into Monash/Nottingham, but not Imperial.

And you wouldn't want to go to Curtin/Swinburne.

And after you have obtained your undergrad degree, and got at least a second class upper, and in many instances a first class, only then are you considered into places like MIT/Imperial (1st tier) for graduate studies.

(just making a general assumption and comparison of "tiers" here).

In terms of general consensus on the respective "place" and "prestige" in social system.

Let's say, in the UK is would be something like..

Oxbridge/Imperial/LSE/ Warwick/UCL/etc.
Durham

Bath Loughborough
Nottingham and the likes
etc.

Nottingham Trent
Oxford Brookes
etc.

Not exactly sure about the above accuracy of placings, but it's something similar.

Not only that. Some jobs, in fact many jobs that you may have not heard about, only take in students with degrees from "top tier" universities. Nottingham/monash also very tough to get in, if it's even possible.

It's not official. But it's in the life and blood.

What else can be better, locally?

Well, it definitely is important too.

Think along the lines of recognition, prestige, and the multiplier effect and trust/favouritism people have on you.

bro i think u missed my posts

Should be alright. Why don't you just give them a call, takes only a minute to answer your question.

Haha, Shouldn't be a problem though.

Can't verify for you as I don't think anyone in here went into the Sept intake. I was in April intake.
