Table 7 Student Quotas, Foreign Students, Academic Year

table

One measure of the size of schools is their first year intake. The largest schools are to be found in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and Nigeria. An average first year size is 49 students, with a range in the schools which returned the questionnaire of from 15 to 130 students.

As well as exchanges of staff and material is is also possible for schools to exchange students. All schools except those in Malaysia technically accept foreign students into first year. However, a great number apply a quota for foreign students which could well make first year entry difficult. In many cases a quota exists but it is not clearly defined.

Another prospect, particularly for students in two tier courses is to enter a foreign university for the second tier of the architecture course. Here the position for foreign students is less clearly defined. While the majority of schools will accept foreign students after the first year, some state that usually they do not. Students intending to transfer to foreign schools should make enquiries well in advance of enrolment date.

The position for foreign post-graduate students is that all shcools which have postgraduate courses accept foreign students. There are usually other entry requirements, such as a high level of undergraduate pass which could still affect entry prospects.
