Quite interesting


edit: make sure you click on international, hecs and DFEE separately. looks like barely any aussie students do economics/business postgrad.

1178 international students doing MBAs and the like
vs.
14 HECS students and 373 full fee students

Indeed. It'd be interesting to compare them with results from ANU, UNSW and other uni's which have different focuses and whatever.

holy crap! i found something even more interesting. when you click on 'international' it shows you how many of those are doing postgrad vs. undergrad. click on HECS, too. looks like half of those international students do postgrad here. whilst hardly any actual local students do postgrad.

Cos the Masters In professional accounting is a ticket into being an aussie citizen

lol its so true though. one lecturer said 'i dont know why i bother teaching masters. half the students dont understand a word of what i say. i have a colleague who speaks Chinese. It would make so much more sense for the faculty to conduct a second lecture in that language."

probably dumb question, but what do the numbers represent? (theyre not students, because theyre in .points, but they dont add up as percentages either?)

total load, so basically, if you're doing a 1.0 load, you are doing 24 credit points a semester. If a person is taking a 0.500 load, they are doing 24 credit points in a YEAR and underloading.
