I think for Engineering, UNSW has a slightly better reputation. At the end of day, reputation is reputation. When you are applying for a job, they look at your professional experience and your character, not so much of which university you come from.

Both universities would be great to help you learn all the basics in chemistry. Go to the university that offers the most variety of chesmistry subjects. If you want to do research after you graduate, you should choose the lab best for your area of interest, not the university.

I think it's very unlikely you'd be able to trasnfer from an Australian university to an overseas university just because the course is so different.

You can do a Masters degree once you have obtained your Bachelor degree at UNSW or any Australian universities (e.g. after a 3 year Commerce degree). If you choose to do the extra Honours year and graduate with a Bachelor of Commerce (Hons) you can apply entry for a PhD.

I would suggest you to enrol in a general Science or Advanced Science degree. In your first year you can pick subjects in Psychology, Biology, Biotechnology. You can decide what you like best and then specialise in one or more areas of study in second and third year. e.g. take more subjects in...

Ouch, still has to sit for exams? Have you came over to Cambridge to have a look yet? I might go to America to a good lab where I can do great science and publish well. I might also stay in the UK and try for an internship in Nature and see whether I like being an editor.

Yep, the Microbiology/Immunology major under BABS is perfect for you if you want to learn about infectious diseases, bacteria and viruses. You will get hands on experience once you get into your Honours year. You will need to pick a supervisor who works on a research topic that aligns with...

Have you considered looking for a sales position with one of those companies? Although a sales representative might not be your thing but I can see real opportunities for career progression (e.g. sales managers, state managers etc). Alternative, I have a friend (with a PhD though), who is...

I think what you have outlined there sounds pretty good. I think 3-4 papers should be sufficient. You should also try them under exam conditions.

Blushii is right. I'd like to further emphasise the concept of "validity". Validity can be referred to your actual methods - which means "is this the right method to use to measure this?". Validity can also be referred to your conclusion - meaning "from what you have found (your results)...

How's it going Pwar? I can't believe I will be writing up in a year's time! :(

Most people who wants to go into research go on to do further studies (PhD). A BSc will at best get you a research assistant position. Once you graduate with a PhD, finding a job as a post-doctoral scientists depends on your publication record, i.e. how many papers have you published and the...

Tim has already answered 1). 2) For research + teaching job, you need to have excellent publication track record. You would probably go for a Senior lecturer position because lecturer positions usually do not require research. To be a senior lecturer you are looking at about 30-40 good...

I think you should still go for it and see what happpens - if it doesn't happen the first time, try again! I wish you the best of luck.

The "2nd class, 1st division honours" is based on the british system. In Cambridge, only 2-5% of the students get 1st class honours, unlike in Australia. For overseas students, they look at your referee's reports and from memory they ask your referees to comments on the type of student you...

You might have to just wait til the 15th of July and see what happens. There isn't much you can do now.

That's correct.

I'm pretty sure these are new courses. I've never seen these courses in the older version of the UNSW Course Handbook.

Definitely put B Science at UNSW ahead of UWS Medical Science. The simple answer is yes - you can do all the majors offered by B Medical Science in a normal B Science. Both degrees are excellent egrees to prepare you for Dentistry. If you really want you can transfer from B Science to B...

Why do you want to do immunology? Do you know what is it about? You can do an Immunology major in any of the following degrees: Bachelor of Medical Science Bachelor of Science Bachelor of Advanced Science
