Each Major lists the units which you must do in order to complete that Major sequence. The recommended sequence is a good guide. It is recommended you do all those subjects in the sequence, because it will cover the 1st year units for most of the Majors, ie. Bio 1 & 2 and Chem 1& 2 are all...

nismo: The course structure given are all your Core subjects. Rather than a Major, you have a Key Program of study, which means the degree and the major are one, so your degree title upon graduation will simply be B Information Technology. Basically, your major is set out for you...

Did new students get any timetables? It would've been helpful. I've attached it to this message; I have no idea how to show it. Click on it. I was at the student centre asking about it. The route and times are the same as last semester's. Except there is no UWS to Penrith shuttle, which I've...

phatic: Academically, poetry is studied as part of rhetoric and discourse - USyd has that exact unit name although it's an Advanced unit (a special intake?). Poetry could also be studied as Metaphor, Poetics, Literature, Image, Language, Performance Writing, even specific era/authors from Plato...

I guess this will depend on the rules for the degree course. If there is a maximum CP limit for any one major, then you cannot do any more under the same area. Some degrees have this to ensure you study 'liberally' ie not under one area. Usually, the amount of CP specified for a Major is...

Always make sure you find out more than you need to know; your time at uni will involve lots of planning, and not just in studying. e.g. there could be administrative problems and it'll be up to you to know who to approach and how to deal with it. Better to be prepared. Nevertheless, here's a...

Yes it's possible. Even though it's one, think of the preferences as two separate lists, one for HECS courses and one for FEE courses. They do not have to be the same courses nor from the same institutions. Pending UAI/entry, you can receive one offer for a HECS course; and one offer for a...

Jacks: I had Contemporary Arts2 listed twice, but I'm not sure if GPA is affected since with or without it it's still 5.1 ... but as the results notice says it's not one's academic transcript, which I'm sure will be a bit more accurate. Besides, the repetition doesn't occur on PlatformWeb. The...

I haven't studied at SWIC, but with any course, you'd also need to fulfil all the other requirements for entry. e.g. if the course asks for an audition or a portfolio. Best always to check with the relevent course coordinator about entry. The UWS website will have staff contact details in...

Relax. Take each step at a time because anticipating further than the speed that Administration can work just equates to lots of impatient waiting every day. But since you asked, here's the general schedule of things: UAC will notify you of your offer(s)/non-offer. Main round offers are...

Campus: Werrington Tip: Building letters in Werrington South are all preceded by a B. In Werrington North, an A. Teaching is held only at Werrington South (so far). Room numbers aren't a problem; if you're in the right building, just keep looking. There are only 6 buildings at Werro South...

My GI transfer results (last semester) came the day after the exam/semester results came out on PlatformWeb; about 2 weeks after the deferred exams week. I guess it's then that they can calc your Grade Point Avg. -andy

I think I might just mention SWIC in case anyone else knows more about it or anyone wants to find out more. The Sydney West International College is a division of UWS that provides a starting point for particularly international students to study an undergraduate course. Australian students are...

If in performance, you mean in the Performance Arts, I'll redirect you to this thread: http://www.boredofstudies.org/community/showthread.php?t=45557 As for Nepean. Nepean is the previous name for the Penrith campus. Theatre Nepean is the production name of the Performance/Acting course...

For Theatremaking, only an interview was asked. In my case, I began in B Liberal Studies starting a Theatremaking major and transferred because I enjoyed it so much to B Performance-Theatremaking after one semester by grades (called Guaranteed Internal Course Transfer). Since I was already...
