Wollongong's starring role in the 2006 Good Universities Guide
Aug 02, 2005

The University of Wollongong's status as one of Australia's top research and teaching institutions has been confirmed with five-star ratings across key categories in the nation's authoritative guide to choice of university.

The 2006 Australian Good Universities Guide, is about to be launched in newsagents and bookshops in Australia and overseas, and the University of Wollongong has achieved an impressive maximum five stars in six of the key categories in the independent Guide. Only the top 20 per cent of universities can be awarded a five-star rating in any one category.

Wollongong has scored five-star ratings for a second successive year in (1) Research Intensity, (2) Graduate Rating, (3) Getting A Job (4) Positive Graduate Outcomes, (5) Graduate Starting Salary and (6) Staff Qualifications.

The Guide's publishers, Hobsons, highlighted in a statement issued with the latest Guide that Wollongong has scored consistently well across all major indicators. The publishers say that the Guide is widely recognised as the nations authoritative guide for anyone choosing a university course or campus.

"Look at the categories in which Wollongong has gained the maximum five stars and by anyone's standards they would have to be judged key indicators of a university's standing. I simply urge any prospective student to closely scrutinise this Guide -- it will speak for itself," UOW Vice-Chancellor, Professor Gerard Sutton said.

He said the star rating for Wollongong had been consistently high for several years now and it's great news that Wollongong has again been judged by an independent group as one of the best universities in the country not only for teaching but also as a five-star choice for potential research students.

"It's fabulous for all our international and domestic students," Professor Sutton said.

jm1234567890, I don't think that title is any good. You should change it back to what it was. I want a thread dedicated to myself. How do I appeal this? Do I send you a PM or do I do it in this very thread? Do I send it to you or do I have to send it to your immediate boss Minai/admins? :p

<i>But he did not accept that the results were an accurate representation of learning and teaching. "Methodologically, the collection of data is (left) up to universities, with (student) response rates and coverage varying widely around the sector," Professor Coaldrake said.

"There is no audit of this collection and strong suspicions exist that some data are corrupted by the shoddy practices in some institutions." </i>

Oooooohhhhers.... Jealousy. :p

As much as awarded teaching, research and all the other academic crap is good for UOW, I'd be far more impressed if they returned 12:30pm trivia and lowered the unibar prices... stupid UOW fuckers who think 'ooooherrs... we're all good at learning people, and now we can either buy a house in Sydney or a plate of chips and drink at the unibar, because heaven forbids, I don't have enough for both'.
