悉尼科技大学


据2008年1月6日《悉尼晨锋报》报道， 目前，休闲旅游管理专业已成为成为澳洲高中毕业生入读大学的热门专业。在澳洲，旅游业正越来越成为一个重要的产业，该行业的日益兴旺吸引了更多的人加入，对该专业的毕业生来说，就业状况也变得极为乐观。。

去年，申请悉尼科技大学休闲管理专业学士学位课程的人数增加了40%以上，申请旅游酒店管理专业本科课程的人数则增加了21%左右。该校体育休闲旅游系副主任Christine Burton表示，不是每一个人都希望毕业后去当会计，如今一些大学生希望将来从事的行业不但可以赚钱，也比较有意思。

悉尼科技大学的建筑及工程专业也越来越受欢迎，西悉尼大学人数增长较快的专业包括工程学，护理，教育，社会服务及健康科学等，超过2500人申请进入该校读医科。悉尼大学的工程学，特别是软件工程学专业的申请人数也呈增长趋势，自然科学的申请人数也增加了9％。



Tourism tops among uni courses


January 6, 2008


SCHOOL-LEAVERS have rushed universities to sign up for degrees in leisure and tourism.

The courses had soared in popularity because recreation was a sought-after commodity in our time-poor society, one expert said.

At the University of Technology, Sydney, applications for the bachelor of management in tourism were up 44 per cent from last year.

Its bachelor of management in leisure applications leapt 40 per cent while the bachelor of management tourism and hospitality was up 21per cent.

Christine Burton, acting deputy head of the UTS school of leisure, sport and tourism, said the rise was partly due to a rapidly growing leisure industry.

Dr Burton said recreation was becoming a commodity that could be sold.

"We're getting a critical mass of people who are looking for different things in their leisure experiences," she said.

There were increasing opportunities for graduates to go into business and provide for increasingly diverse recreation wants, she said.

"Not everybody wants to be an accountant," she said. "They are really looking at something that can not only earn them a reasonably good living, but they're part of something more exciting."

Architecture and engineering also experienced increases in popularity at UTS.

The University of Western Sydney had an increase in preferences in engineering, along with nursing, teaching, policing, social work and health science.

More than 2500 people applied to its school of medicine, which is in its second year.

The University of Sydney also had an increased demand for engineering as well as renewed interest in the bachelor of engineering (software engineering).

The science faculty had a 9per cent increase in first-preference applications, a spokesman said, partly due to an increased awareness of issues such as climate change and the environment.

新州今天也迎来高考放榜的日子。

据2008年1月18日《每日电讯报》报道，第一轮录取名单公布，共有59,894个大学录取offer榜上有名。工程和护理成为热门专业，有20％的学生申请，特别是申请工程专业的学生数量大量增加，这是十五年来的首次。以工程专业著称的悉尼科技大学就发出了700个offer。主要原因是矿业经济蓬勃导致工程技术人才极其短缺，该专业的毕业生在工作的第一年就可以拿到超过$100,000元的年薪。

在新州所有的大学中，悉尼大学仍然是最受欢迎的高等院校。NSW几乎有三分之二大学录取指标UAI（University Admissions Index）获得100分满分的应届毕业生选择入读悉尼大学。卧龙岗大学（Wollongong University）录取学生数量也创出历史新高。 西悉尼大学（University of Western Sydney）的护理（nursing）专业申请人数也在过去两年增长了25％。 其它较受欢迎的专业还包括：arts，economics，policing和teaching。




Bright futures for class of '08, uni places offered


January 18, 2008 12:00am  Article from: The Daily Telegraph

AUSTRALIA'S skill shortage is believed to be behind a massive swing of up to 20 per cent towards engineering and nursing degrees.

As 59,894 university offers are made today, for the first time in 15 years the once high demand degree of engineering has recorded a sudden surge in popularity, thanks to a booming construction and mining industry.

University of Technology Sydney, the country's leading engineering institution, has made about 700 offers.

Other universities have also identified a renewed interest in the subject, where graduates can expect to earn more than $100,000 in their first year.

Experts believe the opportunity to travel and job flexibility has contributed to high school leavers reassessing their futures.

"There has been a gradual reduction of students coming into the course over the last 15 years," UTS Dean of Engineering Professor Archie Johnston said.

"The mining industry needs a lot of civil engineers and there's a lot of construction going on.

"Potential students read the papers and see there's opportunities."

All leading universities have reported an increase in offers this year, with Sydney University remaining the most popular institution.

Almost two thirds of students with a perfect University Admissions Index (UAI) score of 100 have chosen to study there.

Wollongong University has reached an all-time high in the number of offers it has made - 2749.

For the second in a year row, University of Western Sydney has seen an increase in nursing applications, recording a 25 per cent rise over the past two years.

Other areas which experienced a strong demand include arts, economics, policing and teaching.

UWS Vice Chancellor (learning and teaching) Professor Stuart Campbell said the news was good for the nation.

"Helping to meet some of Australia's health challenges looks to be a strong theme this year, with UWS making hundreds of offers . . . across health programs," he said.

"It's been a competitive market in 2008 due to high employment and the extra Commonwealth places injected into the system over the last few years.'

"It means students are the big winners, with increased chances of gaining a place into their preferred course."
