If you make it that far then things become different.Sorry... I should explain that. Entry is pretty much a free for all except for some specialised programs (law, engineering, medicine). Then there was immense pressure to pass students because funding was allocated to institutions on a bums on seats basis...
But now thats changing with the PBRF report.
Which basically means we are changing to Performance Based Research Funding.
So... Get the bums off the seats and get on with your research... Thats the general idea now ;-)
