Recent intakes have indicated that more students prefer Nottingham than Monash as far as business courses are concerned.
One of the reasons could be recent exam results showed that some subjects have failure rate of up to 40%.
Some prefer quality but when too many fail, new students prefer alternative places where chances of passing are perceived to be easier. Resitting any paper is not cheap. It can be all dollars and cents.

QUOTE(knightzhenry @ Jan 30 2013, 05:12 PM) Hmmm okay. So how about the research thing? I found out that there is a design or research project that is needed in the 4th year to graduate as 'Masters' degree. If there is, then if we were to complete the research project for that course in Nottingham, we would get the UK 'Masters' degree title? And let's say in Monash, after doing the same thing for the 5th and 6th year, you can get the Australian 'Masters' degree title? (Sorry  , suddenly jumped to degree comparison but supposed to focus on quality of education, but since tehtmc mentioned that both unis are reputable, the quality would not be different I suppose.  ) So you're saying in Business course, many would prefer Nottingham as an access to pass easier whereas Monash would have a higher failure rate because of the education quality of the university?  It may just be a one off thing.

QUOTE(futurekid @ Feb 2 2013, 09:40 PM) The minimum requirements in the university websites are just that....even some very good schools are not following theirs. Just found out Imperial College is not following its high requirement of at least a*aaa/a*a*a in engineering for foreign students. Depending on which engineering field. Biomedical engineering could be easier.
