    Arts VS Arts (Adv) (Honours)?

    hey I'm not studying Arts Advanced, however I did look into it when I was choosing courses (a couple of years ago now), and I have some friends that are doing it. Personally, I chose against doing the Arts advanced course when I went to uni. I had a couple of reasons- the first was that I...

    Does graduating with D/HD average matter?

    i would never avoid showing i have HDs to an employer where the degree i've done is relevant to the job. Your interview will show you have communication skills, and your co-curricular activities show you don't spend all your time studying. It's just another thing in your favour, something that...

    Uni difficulty over length of degree

    depends on the university/course. I would generally say there is an increase in difficulty between first and second year, but after that it depends on the course/uni. eg. at usyd doing arts in some subject areas (eg. history/ancient history) there is no difference between second and third...

    Semester 1 Chatter Thread (2010)

    They will send you an updated hard copy of your results for the semester once they are changed (this has happened to me before). If you want a complete record (ie. official transcript), you can go to the Student office in JFR and they will print out 2 copies for $11.

    Melbourne Uni: 1 year course?

    well you need to have an undergraduate degree to do it (not sure what the circs of the OP are). edit: opps you are the OP. yes there are- as above linked to, there are graduate certificate courses generally offered by universities for a wide range of subjects eg. Graduate certificate in...

    No ATAR

    An ATAR is a rank for entrance into university- it is run by the universities (ie. UAI University Admissions Index or now ATAR whatever). If you do not want to go to university, then you do not need an ATAR. The completion of the HSC is an achievement in itself- and there are employers out there...

    Centrelink - how much can i have in the bank?

    Obviously I have no idea what your circumstances are, they may be completely different, not relevant to what I know about youth allowance; but from the centrelink website, it says that income is any money you receive, even as a gift or allowance- i would think that this technically then...

    Which Law double degree is Better ?

    I think it depends what you want to do- i'm not sure what your circumstances are- but why are you transferring from your science degree at La Trobe- is it the science? the uni? A bit off the question but- Because you are third year- does that mean you can graduate at the end of the year...

    Possible alternatives Art-Combined Law?

    Yes its possible- USYD takes into account your average for your first year of your arts degree, and your ATAR (they are equal ie. 50% average and 50% atar). It is generally recommended that you have at least an ATAR of 95 and a distinction average in order to be competitive for a transfer...

    Laptops in Lectures!

    lecturers don't care what you do in lectures as long as you don't talk. If you're going to distract other people, don't bother going (they're not compulsory). As for laptops- i think it depends on the university and/or the course you are doing as to whether they are common. USYD Law, i would...

    Postgrad at Top-Tier English Universities

    I don't think one fail in first semester would necessarily set you back- as long as you explain where you went wrong and how you improved on it- it doesn't look great- but if you have done well in the rest of your degree, and in your honours then i think that would be what would count. Also, it...

    Awesome uni vs. the closer uni

    how far away are you from this 'awesome uni'...is it possible to commute (how much time are we talking)? also, whilst you said you can't afford on-campus accomodation, what about moving into a share house nearby...they tend to be cheaper than colleges etc. There is also the possibility of...

    No Money in Law !?

    our legal system works on the basis that everyone can get some kind of representation before a court- a lot of people who represent criminals etc are from legal aid etc They are not necessarily high-flying-rolling in money lawyers, they are doing their job, as employed by the government and...
