Resolved Question: Are Australian universities just a scam to make money?

I'm talking in particular about these postgrad programs they offer like the Master of Commerce. Instead of truly having it as a postgrad program, the teach you the exact same courses again that they teach in their undergrad program. Same professor, same book, same lecture slides. Not even the classroom changes! The only difference is that they can earn even more money that way for these programs. What surprises me even more than that is the fact that there are no admissions tests whatsoever. So anyone who has a bachelors degree will get in, never mind that they vary in time depending which country you are from. Some took a bachelors from some country where it only takes 2 years and you learn nothing, others took 4-5 years. Australian schools don't seem to care though as long as they pay in the money. The most absurd thing is that most of the students that go there don't even seem to speak English that well. I have no clue how they get in, but I am really surprised that these schools in Australia don't have any internal language tests before they let them start the program. I kind of think that they don't have them as they would not pass them. Hence, they would not study there and pay in those ridiculous fees. Most students I met only study in Australia because they did not fulfill the requirements to study in other countries.

Not sure if anyone has ever been there and witnessed it, but Australian universities are a joke. I truly think it's a huge scam. Not even private schools would get away with that in the States. Then they use their strict grading curves they push you into in order to make it all look somewhat legit. Nothing about the Australian education is legit. It's seriously a joke.

The thing I don't understand at all is why these schools run after students in countries all over the world. I mean usually students run after the schools, but here it's the other way around. They open their offices in foreign countries to get these students in. They even file the application for you and in case you are too lazy to do it. I mean who does that?

They even fly overseas to talk to students to get more students to study in Australia. You can deny it, but just take one look around and you will realize that it's all about money. The education there comes last.

How do Australians regard these postgraduate degrees they offer? Because I hear from people that completed their undergrad degree in Australia that they just take the exact same classes again for their postgrad degree. They don't have to study that way because they had the exact same class, professor, book, and lecture slides before. What a joke!!! Well, I had to post the question again bc somebody complained about it and had it taken off. I have no clue why, but he had it taken off. So I never got to read the answers and therefore had to ask the question again if you know what I mean. >> full story
