1. Monash University standard is higher than in University of Nottingham. debatable

2. Monash University provide more difficult coursework compared to University of Nottingham.
subjective. I bet people from Monash said that. Some say Nottingham, due to early specialisation, 1st yr stuff is done in Monash's 2nd year.

3. Degree in UK (Nottingham) gets better professional recognition than degree in Australia. (from a forum post Honours vs Non-Honours ) debatable

4. In The Star newspaper published on 30/1/2013, D-SETARA results were released and it shows that Monash University has a better tier than University of Nottingham in Engineering. (Source from NST)
The rating is only a guide, not to be taken seriously. What matters more is the recognition by the Malaysia Board of Engineers. Both are equally recognized.


Both are reputable unis.
The more important consideration are the location and study environment, which do you prefer?
