Re: I know bachelors takes 3 years, masters takes 1.5 years HOW long does PHD TAKE??? The scholarship money tends to get cut off after 3 - 3.5 years, so you're encouraged to complete in that time (if you're full-time, that is). The time limits on completing a PhD aren't really the same as...

It's just an A4 sheet of paper with a table with space for you to write in the courses you plan to do in each semester of your first year. Nothing that couldn't be replicated using MS Word or a pen and paper.

Lol, my APA is now feeling a bit inadequate. It must be bloody hard to get first class honours in mathematics then if they're able to throw that kind of money around. If only my talents lay in mathematics instead of archaeology!

I should have explained myself better. I just meant that if you want to do postgrad in a particular discipline, you might want to try to use your undergrad to gain the best background you can in that area. Teaching staff have varied research interests, and so the courses you are able to do (in...

Congrats on the scholarship, that's brilliant! Where you do your undergrad doesn't matter if you're talking about university rankings (others may disagree), but it kinda does matter in some respects, especially if you're wanting to go onto postgraduate study and eventually into academia. Have...

No idea how it works on paper, or if it's across all departments sorry. It's definitely the case for Politics, IR, Archaeology and Anthropology at any rate. I suspect it may be true across the university though. Hell, there's even an Honours scholarship for BA students that is ONLY available to...

ANU allows students from other universities to do their Honours year at the ANU

there's actually quite a few jobs out there working on various excavation projects, and there's always lots of consulting work. Don't let parents/friends etc who have no idea what they're talking about convince you that you won't get a job! you'd need to check out what Macq's degree...

you need to enrol for the whole year, so yes you will need to put something down for semester 2. Don't agonise over your choices too much though, you can always switch things around until a couple of weeks into sem 2 (except for your compulsory courses, naturally). with electives, you should be...

the first step you go through on your enrolment day is to get course advice from people from the College your degree program comes under. So if you're doing a BSc, when you get into Melville Hall you'll go get course advice from College of Science ppl and then they'll sign off on your enrolment...

when you apply to University C just don't mention your previous studies at uni A. I know there's a part on the form where they ask you to declare previous study, but just don't put anything. Don't worry about showing them your Uni A transcript. i did this, and then when i was in second year i...

Sociology comes under the umbrella of the College of Arts and Social Sciences. So to do Sociology and Law you'd need to do a combined degree - Arts/Law, and choose Arts courses that would allow you to fulfill the requirements for the Sociology major.

question 1: i can only answer for Arts, as I'm not 100% sure on the Honours requirements for Law. For Arts Honours, it can depend on what area you want to do it in, but you'd need at least a Credit average in the relevant later year courses, and some (e.g. archaeology) require a Distinction...

this. I was in a similar situation to you with GPA, but when i applied to ANU i just did it thru UAC and i had no problems getting in. on another note, i hope you're not beating yourself up too much for failing the semester. Sometimes these things just happen, for whatever reason. I felt for...

all of yr majors will appear on your transcript. I'm doing 3 and they'll all be on there. it's a really good idea to try and plan out yr courses like what you're doing. You don't want to get to 3rd year and find out there's some prerequisite course you were meant to do but didn't... also, ANU...
