This will solve your problem: School of Materials Science & Engineering - Future Undergraduate Study

Re: is my father right - how much of a factor is the 'reputation' of the uni? usyd vs Soon you will learn that's not true. :D

You should start contacting potential supervisors one year before the deadline for the admission application. The application deadline for an October start is mid December of the previous year. Which means if you want to start as a graduate student in October 2011, you should start contacting...

You will find people living in college very friendly and you will instantly make heaps of friends because everyone is in the same situation.

It's the last date you can drop a course before they charge you. Just an example, if you enrolled in a subject in semester 1 and you don't like it after 2 weeks, you can drop it before that census date and they will not charge you for that subject and you will not receive an "Absent Fail"...

No. A combined/double degree doesn't mean you do "double" amount of work as compared with students in a single degree. Almost everyone do the same number of units (like the HSC). You do 4 subjects per semester (24 units) and each subject will cost you x amount. To put simply, in a double...

I only applied to Cambridge so I can only comment on that. Application for one university already killed me so I couldn't be bothered apply to Oxford. Luckily, unlike American universities, you don't have to sit the Graduate Record Exam (GRE). You just need to start contacting potential...

I have done BABS3301 Biochemistry Laboratrory project (Advanced). The assessments were a literature review, a journal club, grant application, and lab work. I can't remeber the exact detail because it wasn't well organised and there was no assessment outlines (back then). You get deducted marks...

For research jobs, they look for: - Research experience - Your track record - e.g. have you published in a peer-reviewed journal? - Your ability to work as a team - Good grades

It's true. hahaha. That's why in Cambridge, they just have 1 name for science - a Natural Science degree - none of this other gibberish.

As far as I know, there is only 1 subject that is specific to AdvSc students and not available to anyone else. Tjis subject is called "SCIF1021 Advanced Science Seminar". This is just a generic skills subject. It really doesn't make much of a difference whether you do it or not. Yes. It will...

No. Your tutors and demonstrators won't even know which degree you are doing. For me, the Honours year is the best year of my 4 year degree. The whole point of me doing a science degree was to become a scientist. The honours year trains you to be a "real" scientist by giving you the...

You can still opt out of Honours in Adv Science. They will transfer you to a generic BSc after 3 years in Adv Sc if you do not wish to continue. You will graduate with a BSc. Please note that the Honours year, in most disciplines, is purely research-based. Yes. You can transfer from a BSc to...

Hi Edmond. I didn't do any biochem subjects in 3rd year but I will let you know what I have heard from my friends who did biochem. Human biochem is nothing like 2nd year biochem. It's much more fun because for the prac component, they used to have to keep a diary about what food intake for...

It's not hard to maintain a credit if you put in a bit of work and do well in the final exam. You will be transferred to a generic BSc if by the end of 3rd year you do not maintain a Credit standard in Adv Science. Many students will do better than a credit average because they pick something...

Doesn't matter whether it is BMedSc or just BSc, I encourage you to choose any subjects related to anatomy, physiology and pathology. You can do all of these subjects in BSc. At UNSW Medicine, they learn basic anatomy, physiology, pathology, histology, microbiology (basically a bit of...

It is less complicated to apply for internal transfer within the same university because you don't have to go through UAC, at least for UNSW internal transfer. And those requirements listed in my previous post are very achievable. Plus you don't have to worry about credit transfer and which...

Do Arts if you want more flexibility. People usually combine it with Arts when they have a specific interest they like to pursue. e.g. History or a language (which you cannot do it in any other degree). If you want to go for Arts, choose Usyd. They have more choices over UNSW. For better...

If you can afford it, apply to Oxford/Cambridge in the UK and some good universities in America. :)

I was just thinking of the same thing. Yet we still push on and answer these questions. :D Yes so do put LLB at UNSW down as your first, then put a UNSW single degree down as your second preference. e.g. 1. Law/Commerce 2. Commerce or 1. Law/Science 2. Science If you do not get...
