:) You needn't feel sorry for engineering/law students/graduates - from those I know, they enjoy it immensely and the hours are not bad. It's significantly longer when you compare it to a 17 hour/week workload but they would not trade it for anything else. Engineering/law students are also less...

Hi there Mr Eazy, I think the above posters have answered the question about mooting and moot competitions well. Mooting is currently more of an extra-curricular activity although there are some specialised elective subjects that teach students mooting/trial advocacy skills. Pro bono...

Hi Ashtor, Did these people give you a basis from which they made such a conclusion? There are more employment opportunities when you pursue a course which you have a personal and active interest - this is particularly the case when you're applying for jobs and have your heart set on...

Hi there Cab31, You might like to ask in the same question in the General-Law subforum as you are asking more of a general question and you may get a greater response. To start you off, law is clearly the most important aspect of a combined degree if you wish to pursue a career as a...

Hi Dave, I am opting a career away from medical research - that said, however, I would have found it very easy to find a job, at least after further studies. The friends who studied the biomedical sciences alongside me all have employment in medical research. I'm not really sure why you...

Hi there Dave, Congratulations on your year 12 results! I did a degree in biomedical science although at a different university. However, I suspect that the course would be broadly similar and believe that whilst chemistry, mathematics and physics may be assumed knowledge subjects, the...

Were you responding to me in particular? I didn't think there were sarcastic undertones in her post, especially when you look at her previous postings in other threads. If it was sarcasm, I definitely did not pick up on it. In any case, I hope my post clarifies a few things for the benefit of...

Fortunately, the law schools enforce a (minimum) dress code. However Lainee, I believe the winchesters in the libraries are waterproof so you can continue to drool regardless :)

Hi there Luke! Congratulations on your year 12 results! From what you've written, I think medicine would be perfect for you. If you settle for medical science (as in your signature), you won't be disappointed in learning about the human body. You will love it and will know it in detail (although...

ouch! :)

You are a sick puppy :) You may want to grab an old copy from friends you may know who have already done first year. The material is unlikely to change all that much. Not at all! I was aware of many couples who both studied law. I thought this was only natural seeing as the law school is...

Based on my understanding, there is a huge difference between honours depending on the discipline. In science, particularly in the biomedical sciences, it's an extra year where you basically work full-time on a project. It's very practical, research based. In commerce, I believe it can...

That's interesting. I guess the high UAI but fairly low first year grades show 'potential'? I would suggest that you obviously try to get the highest average mark you can because whilst you may be able to transfer with marks averaging between a credit and distinction, you may have difficulty...

Hi everyone, For those of you who do not know me, my name is David and I've recently graduated from a science/law degree. My science degree had an emphasis on the biomedical sciences. Firstly, congratulations to those students who have finished year 12! If you're reading in this forum, I...

That's a big call. I see a Medical Science degree as a science degree with an emphasis on the biomedical sciences. Hence, I do not see how a Medical Science degree lessens one's employment opportunities than others ie a science graduate majoring in geology has limited opportunities in getting a...

Hi there Lainee, I can't speak for Suvat and the system in USyd. However, the compulsory reading materials for me involved photocopies of case extracts and articles of 'door-stopper' length and all examinable :) In contrast, the content in 'Laying down the law' was not examinable. I hope...

Hi there Jesus, I do realise that there have not been many law graduates offering advice on this forum although I do think that this thread is more about someone else and in relation to ANU. There is another thread where I answer questions specifically about myself under 'Answers about Law'...

Again, why do you ask? Why am I so special? I seem to already have answered your latest question.

That's a pity. I'm a little suspicious of your writing skills although it may explain a few things. I am a recent graduate of the science/laws degrees. I have just counted 12 of my friends I know who were science/law graduates along side me and 100% have obtained graduate employment in the...

Why do you ask? If I know this, I can better answer the question to help you. I have graduated from a science/law degree and will start a graduate position at a law firm next year. My advice is based on personal experience, personal experiences from friends and acquaintances and my conversation...
