Fraud of International Students in Australia
♫ Friday, May 30th, 2008The University of New South Wales in Australia has made unprecedented action. It decided to invalidate master’s degrees which 210 international students got during the years 2004-2006. In general this University is an excellent place for international students, because there they have wonderful possibilities to get quality education on high level and there are great possibilities for the research work. So, many students mainly from Asian countries try to enter this university. But in recent times university authorities became stricter to such students because it is doubtful weather they want to study in the NSW University because of quality education or because of convenience. During the period from 2004 to 2006 many international students’ frauds were discovered. The matter is that these students used other scientific works in order to compose their own theses, so it can be called as plagiarism. Australian authorities think that international students come to NSW University to get their degree because it is very convenient place with many possibilities and it is possible to commit frauds without punishment. Such incident makes Australian authorities worry about the level of their education. But there is other opinion that such frauds were occurred not because of low level of education in the NSW University but because of irresponsible and dishonest international students.
