Even between the life sciences and trades. I just finished a BS in biology as a mature student and a close friend is doing his in computer science part time, and the difference in what we have to do… So much of his assessed work can be entirely unsourced because it’s literally just coding. He’s a clever guy and was given an award for placing in the top 100 students institution-wide last year (~40k students), but I do wonder how many of the other 99 were in similar courses!
Oh, absolutely. He sees it himself. Fortunately (a) in Australia it’s partly subsidised and the loans are only indexed against inflation, and (b) he’s obviously enjoying it. Plus the few units that actually belong in a university are really interesting (but not as you say enough to justify the course being at a uni).
