One thing that makes me feel bad about Australian Universities (2 Viewers)

[joshualee]

Sorry for being too cynical every time but this is my 'subjective' and 'personal' opinion so do not take this too seriously but one strategy Universities in Australia use is 'RANKING'.

I don't know but it seems so ridiculous to say something like 'we ranked 16th in the world according to TIMES whatever.'

The world ranking system I believe is a minor factor that students should consider not the major thing I believe but it seems that whenever these Universities advertise them, they use this ranking why are they so passionate about using these biased ranking system?

I mean take the example of Harvard University. I have never seen Harvard faculty pompously aggrandizing their university by stating the world ranking system though they are ranked no. 1 in the world.

Australian Universities are very good I acknowledge that they are one of the best throughout the other universities in the world but I believe that they should stick to other information such as the quality of University in terms of its history, its excellence in program using other proofs.

No offense

they're small and insiginficant so they need to boast

harvad has no need for this

also, pretty much everything in australian culture is exactly the same, we're the "best in the world, moit"

You're being taught by people leading important work in their field, and have a chance to work with them on stuff in 3rd/4th year?

It's not completely trivial...

Which doesn't always mean they're good teachers - but of course you get bad teaching in every educational institution, no matter how research-intensive.

ur right. i shouldve moved to sydney and studied MBBS at UWS. *regrets* fml

by looking at the websites between Aus and overseas universities, i dont see any that explicitly stating the rank on the homepage. so i assume ur talking about guest speakers, advertisments, posters, brochures etc.
but unless u have lived in the UK/US ur argument is completely invalid since ur assuming that overseas unis dont use these mediums.

Nothing in the OP insinuates that you should study at an inferior University you fucking idiot. Are you fucking retarded? How did you even get into Med? The OP merely stated that the universities should use other means of advertising their universities other than rankings.

Nothing wrong with UWS med... brand new facilities, very modern program. Has some advantages over the old unis.

Aus uni's have their own post codes

Are you a clown or what? Studying Med @ Australia's largest university is pretty much as anti-TAFE as it gets lol.
