    Transferring degrees at same university.

    your marks from eng wont disappear. in fact your gpa will most likely be calculated from the old marks as well. however, if your science marks are good enough then there shouldnt be a problem getting honours

    late assignment

    depends on the uni, but most likely they will count weekends as its an extra day that the assign is late (obviously) regardless of the fact if you can/cant hand it in on the weekend

    What do i do?im so friggen scared

    Ive got two mates who dj and are doing a cert 3 in music production. apparently SAE is reasonably good, and they enjoy what they do. but its mores of a hobby for them, rather than a career. what are you interested in, and people can find degrees that may suit you.

    Important advice for all those considering studying engineering next yr

    even though the OP's point seems pretty basic and obvious, its a decent point to make. At the end of first year heaps of my class mates are like "zomg this is actually pretty difficult etc" I was talking to a guy who was thinking of transferring to melbourne uni to do arts cus he has no idea...

    Transfer from ANU to Melbourne Uni Arts

    the round 1 entry last year was 88 and the fringe was 84, but you probably already know that. i'd say your chances are pretty good, the distinction average will hold you in good stead (as you generally only need a credit ave to transfer). melb uni arts is pretty challenging to get into at the...

    Planning to transfer from UNSW to a Melbourne Uni.

    It would be cheaper to live on campus at monash, rather than melbourne. however, you can find rent around melbourne thats reasonably affordable. Other living expenses are much the same as sydney. Melbourne uni has a reputation for commerce, and heaps of people want to do it when applying, so...

    Engineering workload

    I dont go to unsw, but am just finishing 1st year civil. The work load can get pretty intense at times, and not much at all at others (depending on when assessments are coming in etc) As a rule, most eng courses have about 24 contact hours a week (maybe less, but no less than 20) thats about 6...

    Group of 8 Unis..what happens if one ranks below 8?

    but a good uni might not rank well at all. so the two (rank and a 'good' uni) aren't mutually exclusive, but ranking is definately not conclusive to the quality of a uni.

    Group of 8 Unis..what happens if one ranks below 8?

    i can see where your coming from, but the thes rankings are very far from objective. the majority of their weighting (40%) comes from 'peer review' and only 20% to citation/research. i certainly concede that if you wish to do your masters, and especially your phd, your top choices in aus...
