What say you?

I read it, and read it, and I still don't actually understand what she is saying. Does this mean that the university has to seek a certain number of funded places for each course within the University...rather than get a total cohort number and then dividing it up later? And, in case she hasn't noticed, there isn't enough money to decently fund the courses and places we currently have. I believe our students are getting a good education, but at the expense of the sanity of the academics!

Late night ramblings..

I hope to get in next year. Newcastle. or anywhere nearer home. Carole

 

Hey Felicity, I'm with you.
The "uni" may get the funding???? but does that necessarily mean the "programme" will get the funding???

The Course at QUT in Brisbane nearly doubled their numbers with no staff or funding increases. The current fourth years complained to the school of health when they were in second year. They were promised changes and I think they did recieve more tutors but certainly not to the level the extra 25 to 30 students would have brought in to the Uni.

 

We had a similar occurence at University of SA, almost double the numbers in first year, an increase difficult to resource both with staffing and infrastructure.

I agree Paul....


How much work will be required to put together a 'submission'?!
