After the 2024 QS World Rankings come out, the most controversial is the Australian institutions. In particular, the University of Melbourne has directly completed the "soaring" and has become the No. 1 university in Australia!
However, before that, the University of Melbourne was very popular with Chinese students, and the number of applicants remained high. A large part of the reason is that the requirements of Australian colleges and universities are relatively less strict, but the ranking has always been impressive, so many students will take it as their "guarantee" institution. Moda is also often ridiculed as a "10,000-year spare tire".
