sorry i might sound bias, i declare i am the TS of the monash thread, a monash alumni and currently doing post grad at another aus uni
2. nott's master is an undergrad one where else mon's master is a post grad one just like other parts of the world..
1. standard of what? students? staff? campus? facilities? if u talk about ranking then marginally mon is higher
2. i had not been through nott's curriculum or any of its courses but i can say their grads are top notch too, just like those from monash
3. well, in general yes, UK's top tier schools are better than aus.. but nott is not a top tier.. it is 2nd tier in UK, monash is 1st tier in aus
i would say any of these schools are great by msian standards, easily the top 2 colleges.. if u ask me, it is depending on what you want.. a school in the city or in the outskirts...
during my time in terms of students, monash have more chinese speaking rural msians, petronas n jpa scholars, indonesians and those from the indian subcontinent... where else notts have more english only speaking msians from cities and africans... no matter where all these students are, they are excellent in general
for monash, the honors year is for business students.. for engineering whether or not you receive honors is depending on your final project and results.. most of the time they would see your results only because most people do well in their final project
i heard they upgraded the highway... it is very deep with palm plantations everywhere... my friend killed some1 in a road accident driving back to notts..
Are you sure about that? I know friends who have studied in both unis say that the density of chinese speaking students and jpa scholars is higher than monash. You'll notice that immediately when you enter Notts; 95% of chinese students converse mandarin here. 2. nott's master is an undergrad one where else mon's master is a post grad one just like other parts of the world..

UK routes:
BEng-->Meng--> more suitable for working
BEng--> Msc---->Ideal if you want to go to Phd
Both of them need four years.
Lets take a look at the Australian ones:
Aus route:
BEng (4 years)+ Msc---> 5 years more or less before you start your Phd
Beng (4 years)------>you don't have to take masters since you already fulfill BEM's requirement of four years.
Obviously, which is the quicker route if you want to go for academia? If you score a solid firsts in the UK Beng, you can omit your msc and start your phd straight, but obviously on a case by case basis.
To be honest, the Meng Vs Msc thing should only matter if you intend to do academia. MEng, is a professional masters for practitioners. Msc, is a research masters.
Notts first year engineering is harder than Monash. This is because what you cover in Australian unis for the first year already has been done in A-levels, which takes 2 years. SAM students do not cover as much material as A lvl students. However, beyond the first year, I'm not sure.
