Hey Ryan, great to know that u graduated from Caulfield campus. May I know how long does it take Monash to assess a course application? How long will it normally take to receive a phone interview and offer letter? My application status is now "being assessed" for almost a month.

ok i really have no idea how long does it take since i send in my uni application at the very last minute (but still manage to meet the deadline).for my case its 1week to assess,another for offer letter if im not mistaken
maybe a call to monash to enquire
*
So it took you only two weeks to receive an offer? That's quick! Did you send your application through Monash Online Application or agent? Does MRS have accommodation for students who wish to bring their partner along (long term throughout the study, not temporary stay)?

hey guys, I've finally received a conditional offer (pending for IELTS & etc) from Monash Australia for 2015 summer semester intake after waiting for 2 months since I submitted my application in July and I'm slightly chuffed now biggrin.gif although not entirely relieved. Any alumni from Caulfield mind to recommend me on finding the right off-campus accommodation? I'm looking for a place that has easy access to subway or public transport so I won't have to rush for classes and may I know which Australian bank will be most convenient for international students?

Are you saying that the quality of teaching and delivery results are different between Monash Malaysia and Monash Australia ?
*
That's for sure, because different faculty staffs would have different delivery method. On top of that, you'll also be exposed to different group of cohorts and these factors will greatly influence your learning experience.

That means Monash Australia still a better choice if one yearns for better education quality ? Thanks.

Well, don't get me wrong. I didn't mention which is a better choice and I believe Monash endeavors to maintain its quality to be equally as good among all campuses, it's up to you to decide after you've considered all the mentioned factors.

Graduates of elite Australian varsities 'lose out on pay'

user posted image

Earning a degree from one of Australia's elite "sandstone universities" has long been believed to be the pathway to a higher salary.

But a controversial study, based on surveys of more than 12,000 people, found that graduates of newer technology-oriented and research universities earn significantly more than alumni from the Group of Eight (Go8) top universities.

The prestigious group includes Australia's oldest and top internationally ranked universities, including the University of Melbourne, the Australian National University, the University of Sydney, Monash University and the University of New South Wales.
The government-funded annual study released last week, whose "surprising" result was criticised by the leading universities, found that graduates of technology universities such as the University of Technology, Sydney, or Melbourne's RMIT University earn 9 per cent to 10 per cent more than graduates of the Go8 universities, which tend to require higher entrance scores.

Graduates of "innovative research universities" like La Trobe University or Griffith University earn 13 per cent to 15 per cent more, while those from regional universities, such as Southern Cross University, earn about the same.

QUESTIONABLE

The fact the research delivered results so different from everything that had gone before should have raised some flashing lights.

MS VICKI THOMSON, the Group of Eight's chief executive, who questioned the methodology used for the study
The study, called the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia, was conducted by Associate Professor Roger Wilkins of the University of Melbourne. He suggested that the pay differences may be due to a greater focus on vocational fields at technical and research universities, or because Go8 graduates take up less well-paid jobs in research or academia.

The study noted that the findings were based on full-time employees, and graduates of Go8 universities may be more likely to be high-earning bosses or self-employed earners like doctors or senior lawyers.

But the Go8 heavily criticised the findings, calling the results "disappointingly suspect". The group's chief executive, Ms Vicki Thomson, questioned the study's methodology and pointed to other studies finding that Go8 graduates earn more.

"The fact the research delivered results so different from everything that had gone before should have raised some flashing lights," she wrote in The Australian Financial Review. She added that the group was more committed to lower-paid disciplines like the arts and humanities.

Students are drawn to Go8 universities for a range of factors, including prestige, course diversity and, presumably for many, a belief that their ensuing salary will be higher.

This was supported by a study last year by independent think- tank Grattan Institute, which found that graduates of sandstone and technical universities earn about 6 per cent more over their lifetimes than those from other universities. But it also found the course studied was a bigger factor in determining pay than the choice of university. The highest-paid fields were law, engineering and commerce.

Ms Ittima Cherastidtham, the institute's senior associate for higher education, stood by its findings last year, noting the more recent results did not take into account self- employed graduates or type of discipline. "We would expect a higher salary premium for Group of 8 graduates," she told The Straits Times.

Dr Wilkins told The Straits Times he examined the impact of studying different disciplines, which was not in the study. But, he said, it did not affect the findings on pay for Go8 graduates. He said: "The results of the survey are surprising but explicable."

It is possible that Go8 graduates tend to pursue "more interesting" but less lucrative careers like those in academia or the public service. Also, Dr Wilkins said, the results did not take into account graduates such as international students working overseas, or the self-employed.

Very interesting findings and yes, I would also suspect the criteria used in the survey. It could have been too simplistic and did not cover the 'employability' between Go8 and non-Go8 grads.

Hi

Anyone can comment monash's Bachelor of Business and Commerce or nottingham uni finance, accounting and management BA is better in terms of job opportunity in banks/finance institutions?
*
In my opinion, if you're unsure of which major (economics, econometrics, finance, accounting, etc) to specialise in, then the Bachelor of Business & Commerce would be suitable due to the 'breadth' of topics covered by the course. However, if you want to cover the 'depth' of a particular major (say Finance), a B.Com would be preferred as you'll get to learn more advanced topics of your major in B.Com than in B.Bus & Com (provided if you perceive advanced knowledge=advantageous). Do take note that the B.Com's entry requirement is significantly higher than that of B.Bus & Com and the areas of study for B.Com in Sunway campus are very limited. In terms of job opportunity? It really depends on your personal quality upon graduation, I don't think the employers in Malaysia have a preference in either, but there could be exceptions as well.

Agree. In terms of ranking, accreditation, and campus location, monash 3-0 nottingham. A no brainer choice.
