To be frankly honest, I don't really pay attention to University rankings - particularly not the global ones, because there's just too many variables.

More important for me is the subject-specific rankings.

That.  Definitely agree and I've always looked at the subject-specific rankings over the overall rankings.

How do you find 'subject/course-specific' rankings?

They get published.  They'll come out soon.

Although these rankings are largely meaningless for undergrad students, it certainly doesn't hurt to be highly ranked.

I heard that the fact that the noble prize winner studied med at The University of Melbourne, also made a vast impact on the University's upgrade.  :)

I know some people who have argued that going to a top ranked university may actually be worse than going to a lower ranked one for undergaduates. They argue that the higher ranked uni's only really care about their post-grad and research students because those are the ones that get them their money and reputation. As a result, they don't concentrate all that much on their undergrads. It's an interesting argument worth some thought.

thats why melb model was brought in; so that students can take advantage of the fact that most funding and development goes into postgrad departments
