Geology degree in the petroleum sector is your best bet, you'll have a hard time even getting a job with a BSci in anything else, except maybe physics or maths
I got into Mining through FEAS with an atar of 85, I think it'll probably come down to how you interviewed and your life outside of school. Assuming you talked to them and came off like a normal person and you do things outside of school that might involve responsibility or leadership then I'd...
Apply for this http://sydney.edu.au/future-students/domestic/undergraduate/access-sydney/flexible-entry.shtml If you're within 5 atar points you should be able to get in.
You could probably get into UNSW Chem Eng with 85 through this http://www.eng.unsw.edu.au/feas if you wanted to.
Yep definitely. I'm doing mining engineering at UNSW which is exactly the same as 1st year civil.
I did 2U maths and got a band 4 and I'm going fine. Didn't do a bridging course or any prep either. Basically as long as you do the work you should be fine.
There aren't any real risks. It's all a hypothetical risk assessment for the bureaucracy. If you want real risks check out the mining field trips...
Field trip should be awesome, can't wait.
T1 ENGG1000 Engineering Design...............78 DN
T1 MATH1131 Mathematics 1A...................56 PS
T1 MINE1010 Mineral Resources Engineering.......WD (should be ~75)
T1 PHYS1121 Physics 1A.......................74 CR
Really happy with my marks, thought I was gonna fail...
I passed Maths 1A at UNSW with only doing 2u (and getting a band 4!) and no bridging course or self teaching 4u content or anything. It really wasn't too hard...
I got into UNSW Engineering with 85 atar. Got in through this, http://www.eng.unsw.edu.au/feas . If you have good extracurriculars and are able to talk without sounding like an idiot you'll get in.
I heard its pretty much just the same as the exam we had already.
Some advice: I couldn't do any physics questions until the week before the exam, I skipped 50% of the lectures and I passed. What I did was work through the past 4 years of papers with solutions and just use the solutions every...
Re: Please understand my dire situation (ALL FAIL) and HELP ME CHOOSE FROM MY OPTIONS
Transfer to Macquarie. If you fail more than 2 subjects in a year then drop out and pick up a trade.
I'm doing MINE1010 at the moment. It's ridiculously easy. 75% of the assignments have been short presentations, so basically a powerpoint without much writing. Is not hard or time consuming at all.
Anything over 50k is good for a grad of anything. Petroleum/Mining has the highest average grad salaries, usually ~85-110k as of last year. Don't base your decision off that though, going into a career purely because it pays lots is a terrible idea.
