But perhaps for future students in regulatory science who go to UNE. It's interesting. APVMA seems to have been struggling for a while to get staff. There doesn't appear to be any university level training in Canberra in the field, so have persuade people to go there May well be a better position when UNE is graduating.

After all, I have been complaining about the use and abuse of league tables for a long while!<br /><br />I do think that the satisfaction measures and especially Table Two as noted by Winton do provide a useful measure. However, I note that one of my twitter colleagues commented that perhaps the satisfaction levels for regional students was higher because they started with lower expectations! Or, conversely, that of city students lower because they started with higher expectations.<br /><br />Given the prevalent use of league tables in marketing that so feature the metros because of the way they are structured, something that distorts the marketplace, the new numbers as "official" numbers are quite a useful corrective. <br /><br /> Jim Belshawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10075614280789984767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24338064.post-84281318754880333512017-04-15T00:40:31.841+10:002017-04-15T00:40:31.841+10:00I've never found these league tables very easy...I've never found these league tables very easy to interpret. Whenever I've known something about them, I've seen about a million holes in them. For example, when I went through law school, if you wanted to be a solicitor, you had to go to College of Law for half a year after that. If you were lucky you might get into the first course; if you weren't, you waited for the second. Some people got work in the intervening period; some already had full-time employment; others went off for a big trip around the world. Can you imagine what sense the graduate employment statistics made of that?marcelloushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06209648151753428540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24338064.post-49118126301401643152017-04-14T21:18:25.025+10:002017-04-14T21:18:25.025+10:00Table 2 is particularly interesting.
