Ok how about if Melbourne and Monash both offered similar courses for a certain field of study and you had the choice between the two. Which one would you choose.
Eg. I don't know what I would choose if I had the choice between Commerce at Melbourne or Monash. How does the new Melbourne Model change the situation?

MONASH MONASH MONASH!

Awesome Aerospace Engineering program, synchotron, proximity to my house, fairly decent science department, awesome exchange program overseas and it has a really good social scene, too. :D

Plus, you know, there's that added benefit of being able to do a double degree. :D

I dunno ... I think it depends on what course you want to do. Like I've been told (by a very biased party, mind you) that UoM music is far superior to Monash music

Quite true, although I like Monash music's freedom for jazz. I dunno, I just feel like monash offers a less... conservative/strict to tradition side to their music course over Melbourne, which I find kind of appealing.

But I'm hoping to get into Melbourne so I can study engineering along with music, something I'm BEGGING to do at monash

really hard to say, UoM is stronger in some courses but Monash is stronger at others

the only thing that pisses me off with UoM is this new Melbourne Model  :P

The Melbourne Model is pretty cool from what I know- breadth and depths subjects :).
But it does suck for people who were doing double degrees and now it's all being changed and they have to do postgrads. Or is that wrong? Just what i heard.

Does anyone here believe that Melbourne University will always be the preferred choice for people with ENTER's over 99.00 or around that, purely because it contains the capital of Victoria in its name? LOL

I am actually being serious though. I think especially for international or interstate students, "Melbourne University (or the UoM)" sounds more prestigious than "Monash University" purely because of the name. Even for myself, sometimes I feel that that Melbourne may just "sound" better but not actually offer a better level of education (purely speculative).

the model of melb uni is such a waste of time, i dont get why u have to do a general course the move onto preferred field
Its not so much a "general course" because you are still selecting a "preferred field" in which you undertake your degree however it is "general" in the sense that a certain percent of your course must be from subjects outside of your field. I think the whole idea of the Melbourne Model is to give students a broader education and not leave them with one qualification that may not be adequate due to changing occupations and professions etc.
However whilst saying that, it is quite contradictory of them to imply or state that when they are taking away double degrees. But I guess that the "general" degree replaces the broadness of a double degree.

Hahaha. That's why some of my relatives back in China believe Victoria Uni is the ultimate top of the notch uni here, cos omggggg it has the state in its name!
(I'm serious)
