The moment you said “low quality”, I straight away subscribed your channel. International student are cash cows

As an international student myself I honestly think some of these points were vast unfair generalisations based on your personal experiences but the cash cow & part time employment points were spot on

As a former lecturer at a university with many international students, I would like to share my experience: Low quality - the casual teaching is quite low paid, so many tutors are PhD students or just newly graduated. They often have no teaching experience or training - the only requirement for university teaching is to have one degree above the level you teach. This actually also makes it hard for experienced academics to find a job, as it's cheaper to pay a PhD student for five hours casual teaching per week than employ an experienced teacher/academic full time... Group assignments - there is often pressure to give group assignments to help weaker students pass. I hated group assignments as student but also as lecturer for the reasons you describe. Cash cows and low quality classmates - this contributes to the language problem you mentioned, as many people are accepted for the sake of profit, but do not have enough language to be successful. This was one of the hardest parts for me when I was an academic, as I was very conscious that this was unfair to everyone in the class. High quality students are held back from being challenged, but low language students struggle to grasp the basic knowledge. It is difficult to teach to such different levels of capacity. Someone always misses out. Also, for anyone struggling please know that even in the exploitative system there are lecturers who genuinely care about international students, and want to help you regardless of your reasons for enrolling. Please don't be afraid to ask for help, assessment clarification, extension work (if you don't feel challenged in class), or advice about the industry or working in Australia.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I was quite surprised to hear about the low quality of teachers considering so many AU universities are in the top 100 universities.

My friend who live in Australia told that" International Student are just source of cash and colleges are operated in residental houses. No qulified teacher, No elegant education and its worse student are commit suiciding. Better go to germany, education is free and your can have time to read and move to desired place after.

Thanks for sharing. I have never been in Australia, aside from virtual and books experience. As far as teaching languages is concern, it all depends: if specializing in grammar; I would agree with you. Other than that, I could argue that it might be a matter of having gotten used to "going from A to B strategy"; however, it has been more than half a century since research has found, has proven, and has spread knowledge about language teaching methodologies. Research has generated methodologies that mandates the way you don't seem to like.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. The video is super informative and beneficial, you truly have a lot of experience on this matter and also put so much effort into research to make this happens.

As an Australian, I found this hilarious! Keep up the quality content!

@10:26 I believe that is what we call a critical summary. It’s a skill you learn when in university …or before depending on where you grew up and went to school. It’s very logical for your professors to give you a 50+ page reading and ask you to submit a two page paper on the topic. They expect to see and help you develop your critical analytic skills. It should not be confusing. If you need help, just ask I’m sure they would help❤️ That being said, I do not think that is a valid point for your video lol

hey! thanks for the info. I'm still not convinced cuz i think Australian edu sys is at least better than my country's... but i have one question? does what you mentioned mean it's easy to get a degree in Australia if you're good in English?

I am planning to study software engineering at unsw this year....I am an indian student...so will it be able for a 12th grade cbse bio-maths student to cop up coding and programing...and also is it true that we can develop skills by studying there than in India

I'm an international student studying in Australia for my master's degree. I would say Australia is not a good place for studying for two reasons. 1. Expensive Tuition Fee 2. Quality of Education. The truth is people study in Australia for immigration. Australia is a perfect place for working if you can find a job. You'll get paid very well if you work in the mining industry, like 20K per year. Being an Asian in Australia makes it harder to fit in. I would highly recommend anyone who wants to pursue their higher degree to study in the U.S. or Germany. Been there, done that. I really wish someone has told me this before. 😢

As a domestic student in Australia, I do agree a lot of my lecturers in courses just have a monotone and basically read directly from their lecture slides which is just copy and pasted from the textbooks. I’m taking part of a programme at my uni that helps non-English speaking students communicate like Australians do. Also, teamwork projects, at my university, they make you fill out a form of who participated in the project and what parts they did, etc.

Hey, I am planning just to get international exposure(bachelors and masters) and after having my loan paid I'll come back to India . Will that good in case of Australia or I should look for another country ? because I really agree with what u discussed in this video . please reply

Thanks. I'm Indonesian. FYI, many Indonesians dream of and are proud of studying in australia due to the "prestige", including me in the past. I got an offer for PhD from an australian univ, but I decided not to proceed because the offer didn't come with scholarship. There was a chance to apply for my government's scholarship, but fortunately I didn't do so. If I did so, I may be feeling guilty now for spending huge amount of money for not-as-displayed-in-website education.

Hey, I just got an offer letter from QUT(Brisbane) for MPE in Civil Engineering. Now I'm bit of confused. Should I stick with QUT or look for other university who's faculty is more helpful?

thanks for the transparent and honest conversation like this, if study was not the way to get migrate , do you know any path can the foreigner get a full time job at australia? was that possible ? as i knew that's one path which everyone can try --point test visa 189/190 ( skill migrate)

Great video! I’m also planning on studying in Australia (intl. student), what are your thoughts about Macquarie University? I can’t seem to find negative reviews about them.

Is aviation education is good at Australia in Sydney in any of university please please reply sooooon

Great video Monika! This is why I am planning on doing a Trade course in Australia! I have seen all this University money-making in the UK!

One of the most stressful thing that I’m facing now is the assessment requirements and criteria for evaluating it… Teachers are asking for creating things that they don’t teach, and then they come up with comments about that you work is “Not Yet Satisfactory” ????? When you are referring books/research paper/scientific magazines, and they are asking for personal interpretation of the content and create tools for applying that from scratch… I really don’t get it… I’m so frustrated at the moment and I really need someone to guide me at this point, otherwise I will give up.

Really very beautiful-looking background setup! 💯👍

But most of the Universities in Australia requires IELTS, how comes just as you mentioned that in a class only one person or two speaks English? I’m not in Australia though I’m in Norway an I know Australian Universities don’t joke with IELTS.

Thank you for the explanation, i'm looking forward to your next videos

USA universities are much costlier than Australian ones and universities like Latrobe and Deakin comes in top 200 universities in world they can't be that bad, if I am willing to study and interested in the mechanisms of business and want to settle in Australia shouldn't I come to Australia tell me?

You've made me sad now haha. I was planning to study in University of Melbourne, but after seeing this video, I'm gonna rethink about it. Thank you for the information!

Some of the comments are right but many others based on generalization, if u studying in a low quality university u can’t expect getting the best education, there are many Internetional ranking to know the University’s quality, RMIT 15 in Australia, Victoria uni 27, it is what it is

Very informative. Thank you.

I also watched cash cow from abc i really feel sad after that because i expectations that study in Australia really gives u heap of knowledge with practical experience but unfortunately it is not in that way what i think Sister or madam or teacher or as a youtuber what do you think about Australia's higher education system Is that cash cow video true? Study in Australia is like getting a degree? Pls help i am in greate pressure about it

Studying in Australia is what you make of it. I experienced most of the negative things you talked about (lecturers who don't know how to teach, working with people who don't speak English, etc). But I made it work in my favor. I think it depends on your outlook. :)

Well, I think I got two professors that were not well prepared for teaching, however the another 8 were very good in their knowledge fields, with high quality articles published in international journals. Who knows. Maybe is question of luck.

Best place to study is the u s a where they have MIT , Stanford, university of Chicago.

Omg so true! 😂 I've been the only european in lots of classes!

It seems you have no clue, a video blogger that is ridiculous comments, talking about low quality, and disrespecting people form different backgrounds because of their accents. Get off your high horse. 1. Low Quality You get to choose the Education Institution like you get to choose a restaurant; dont think because you pay for fast food you will get a Michelin class restaurant. 2. Group Assessment Low Quality because they don't speak English. All those people who you had speaking on the video, were speaking in English, and if you think because they were not fluent or because they had an accent it was low quality, you should listen to yourself speak before you judge and mock others. So you think that in a Group Assessment you are going to be doing all the work and they will get the same mark, when it is more likely that the group will do the majority of the work and you will get the marks. How perthitic is your comments and view of others! 3. ATM You don have to pay or study, no one is forcing your hand. You have many other place to choose including in Poland. Unfortunately you are studying to get qualification so you can get work and earn money, get paid. What is the difference, are you also and not ask others to be an ATM for you? 4. Confusing Teaching Methods Throughout your video, you were nothing but a hypocrite, is that confusing enough! So for you European who are going to come and study English here it might be confusing because of some US Researchers. What hole did you pull your ridiculous information out of. Have you though it might not be the Education System that is the issue, but it might be you? Statements you make are contradictory. I can understand how you can find it confusing to write 10 pages in 2 or 3 pages, as it took you 13 minutes to say something that you could have said in 30 seconds in the video, without adding all the bull in between. 5. Work Limitation So if it is so hard and so bad and everything else, then why did you chose to do another course in Australia? Not only did you come here to study, but you decided to stay and then chose to do another course. And let’s not discuss when you are allowed to work more hours. This is absolute worst bullshit video, Really Really!. Nothing positive, nothing constructive, and you provide no alternatives. As you said "For me its quiet not fair to pay so much and get so little" but you decided to stay and are doing a second masters. You are a Hypocrite! You give people the advice not to come but state "I am doing my Second Master. So for others Maybe it’s not worth, but for you it is, and then say because you can not afford but still you are doing a second masters. Excuse my poor English, but I gave you a thumbs down, and I suggest everyone do the same because you and your video are insulting.

Totally agree im studying in wsu and everything is same as SHIT low level

keep up the good work love

I need ur help i also planned to study in Australia but i have seen many negative reviews of Australian universities I want to do electric computer science engineering and i planned to be in university of Melbourne So what do you think about of it? Is it worthy to study in Australia? Pls help 🙏

DID YOU HAVE THAT GIRL CONSENT TO POST HER ON YOUR VIDEO?

Don't be fool. Australia is the only country that don't recognized their own qualifications. After graduation, International students got a shock to find that their internationally recognize Australian qualification is not recognized by Immigration. When you apply for a resident visa, Australia immigration will require you to have your Australian Qualification assessed by a skill assessment Authority against Australian Qualification Framework. Sound silly but its true. All the while you thought yr qualification were fully recognized under CRICOS. But Sorry its NOT. And You have to pay for the skill assessment. And there is hardly any advantage except that they give you a pitiful 5 pts in their pt system if they recognised yr Australian Qualifications.

Hi there! First off... R-E-SP-E-C-T to all, best policy. Ever heard of fact vs opinion? Once in fact; still, go for statistics, numbers across time, and variables.

Save your hard earned money please.Go to Canada or Europe where your education and contribution to the country will be more appreciated.

So true very low quality

Hii the video and your voice is not synchronise from 7:10 just saying

To be honest, if you were that good of a student, you would have gotten into the best universities, not some random one. If your friend go to Melbourne University instead of Melbourne Polytechnic University, He will have a completely different experience. However, this does not justify the high high price of this low ranking university; it should be at least half the price.

Australia just trying to da money but don’t have the knowledge. I feel bad for the foreign student not getting their money’s worth . Live and learn

Thanks for the infos. I really thought that studying in Australia is good. 🤔

True Never throw your 💰 in Australia for study. Poor quality of education

U s a has so much options that give a solid education. Australia is like a joke compared to the us.

Europe universities is better
