and risk being thrown out for plagiarism? ok, first lesson of uni, it is not just the person who plagiarises who gets in serious academic "trouble" but also the person who allowed them to plagiarise their work. And plagiarism includes taking someones ideas. While you may be a really nice person...

yes... hence why we have the australian social policy research centre if we're so crap at social science and have a highly regarded degree in criminology... such markings of failure ?????? oh and cimbom. We have to do economics subjects, i just did the compulsory global studies subject...

no, don't waste your time coz you'll be wasting everyone elses time. there are reasons for it being only full time students. Don't scam the system. we don't need ppl like you taking more money away from sydney's transport system.

there are heaps of career prospects for international studies (to name but a very few): roles in international organisations including IGOs from the UN, WTO, IMF to smaller ones like the IWC etc., and NGOs like Amnesty, Greenpeace etc., international economist, translator, politician, academic...

technically you can study it part time but why bother? you can do a part time job and full time study easily. it is true that part time limits your subject choices to the point where you have no choice and will end up doing subjects you dont want to do. Languages are sometimes only offered...

these kind of detailed course questions are answered on the website http://internationalstudies.arts.unsw.edu.au

I am doing the global stream. you have heaps of choice. For example, the international studies subjects for first year are either world history (a and/or b = as in you can do it in one semester or both) and international relations (a and/or b). Since your question is a bit confusing i'm just...

no you can't combine it with anything other than law. International studies is a proper degree at UNSW. We're not like some of the lame courses hanging around like UTS that let you study only one country and its language and then give you a degree in international studies. We study the world...

why do law? in the same amount of time as you take to get honours from a law degree you could have a postgrad degree. and you can do law subs within int. studies neway. there are heaps of career prospects for international studies (to name but a very few): roles in international organisations...

Em Mindelan you HAVE TO DO A LANGUAGE! TRUST ME! i have a friend who is from brazil who spent the whole year trying to get out of doing a language since he already spoke three but STILL HAD TO DO A LANGUAGE! You would have to have some pretty damn fine reason and fabulous negotiating skills to...

of course you have to do a language

sorry tsuki that wasnt helpful at all coz that is out of date (its the same as the website) - some of those courses dont exist, others only enrol like 10 people which therefore can hardly make them a compulsory subject since they wont fit everyone. yes reality is hilarious. im just digging...

you know the secret to hornsby's success? sticking their students in a beige uniform. The students are endlessly traumatised and hence feel the life of academia is the only option so must study endlessly. there you go, oh and hornsby rocks (from an hghs student '04)

Anybody else out there doing international studies and not sure exactly what we're meant to be enrolling in? They're website is sooo out of date. Half the courses don't even exist! And some marked as compulsory don't seem to be compulsory.... Anyone got the know how? [yes, i know im lazy...

depends, i got notified at the beginning of january BUT for another i applied for they didnt even get around to interviews until O-week.

depends wat the scholarship is for. If it is a children of alumni one then you would definitely need at a minimum 99, but some of them are more focussed on whether or not you've spent a year building houses in africa and curing the world of malaria so you could prob have even lower than 99...

personally i love the language i'm doing - chinese - . The lecturers and tutors for it are so nice and helpful and they think we're hilarious with our anglo accents. Doing a language is great, because its one of the few arts subjects where you actually have enough hours to get to know people...

life is what you make it. this isnt a vocational degree. you could do anything and be anything - economist, aid worker, politician, diplomat, policy analyst, academic, international business entrepreneur, CEO of own developed NGO, interpreter - any nice job 'label' fits. however, you'll find...

miliux, what the hell are you doing if you're a first year student?! half of what you just told that kid was wrong! First of all, almost everybody has to do 15 hours. Generally arts subjects are 3 hours, but almost all languages are 6 hours and you have to do a language in first year even if...
