The data of the new report shows that during the four-year undergraduate course, the performance of overseas students is more outstanding than that of domestic students. Among them, among the top public universities, 70.8% of overseas undergraduate students enrolled in 20 1 1 graduated collectively after four years of study, far higher than the 45% graduation rate of Australian students on time.
In NUHEIs private universities, the graduation rate of overseas students is 62.8%. According to the report, this figure is much higher than the graduation rate of 39.2% of private college graduates in China. The difference in the number of graduates between the two groups is 23.6%, which is almost equal to the difference in the graduation rate of students in six years. It is understood that the graduation rate gap between overseas students and domestic students in the past six years is 22.9%.
When the graduation time is extended to 9 years (from 2006 to 20 14 years), the difference between the two groups is not so significant. As far as public schools are concerned, the graduation rate of overseas students of 77. 1% is only slightly higher than that of domestic students of 73.5%.
2. The type of study and age affect the graduation rate.
However, the birthplace of students is not the only determinant of graduation rate. The new report finds that in Australia, different types of study (full-time/part-time students) and students' ages have greater influence on whether students can graduate on time than other characteristics such as socio-economic status, indigenous identity, geographical division, gender and non-English background.
Compared with full-time students, part-time students are less likely to finish their studies. The difference in their academic completion rate is 6.3 1%. Age is the second biggest factor affecting the graduation rate. Older students are less likely to finish their studies than younger students, and the graduation rate gap between them is 3.87%.
In addition, the highest graduation rate in Australia is the University of Melbourne, and 88% of the students enrolled in 2009 completed their studies before 20 14. The second and third Australian universities are the University of Sydney and the Australian National University. According to the latest OECD report, Australia's undergraduate graduation rate ranks third in the world.
3. The data of private institutions are added to the report.
It is reported that this report tracks the number of students who have completed their studies by using student data such as student ID cards and the Federal Higher Education Student Financial Assistance Number (CHESSN). This year, I also joined the graduation data of NUHEIs colleges for the first time.
These institutions usually represent for-profit private higher education institutions, such as Sydney Institute of Business Technology and Australian Institute of Design. Public universities refer to the 40 universities listed in the Australian 1988 Higher Education Appropriation Act. These universities are all qualified and meet the funding conditions of the Act. Representative institutions include Monash University and NSW University.
