    usyd, unsw or mq

    Hi. I can only comment on the UNSW programmes. I did a BMedSc (Hons) and I was happy with it. I did Microbiology and Immunology as my major, which is taught in the same School (School of Biotechnology and Biomolecular Sciences) as biochemistry and genetics. I also did subjects in anatomy (from...

    Panic attack. Engineering first year is so hard.

    No need to panic now. When I was an undergrad, I didn't understand everything taught in lectures and still ended up getting the uni medal. All I can say is learn and understand what you NEED - you don't have need to know everything. I hope this helps!

    What do you GET/ACHIEVE from going into overseas exchange?

    Great advice. if you can't get a spot in your university's exchange programme, definitely try to go overseas for a postgraduate degree, even if it is for a 1 year Masters. It will open up your eyes to how another university operates and you will meet new friends along the way! Since coming to...

    Achieving distinctions at uni

    I have found that consistency is key to success. I studied consistently throughout the semester so I don't have to cramp just before the exams. This is especially true because science students have labs in additional to lectures and tutorials so there is a lot of materials to understand and take...

    What university course would you recommend me?

    Hmm.. I think go for the one that has more pros than cons. It's not going to be an easy option. If you are really unsure, start university with a double degree (e.g. Science/commerce, commerce/engineering) and after a year at university, you will know what you like. You can then choose to keep...

    Med Sci @ UTS or transfer Med Sci USYD in 2nd year??

    What I want to add is that it is not essential that you make the transfer from UTS to USyd. A MedSc degree from UTS would prepare you euqally well for the GAMSAT as a MedSc degree from USyd or other good university. You also need good marks throughout the course - pick something you really enjoy...

    'Easiest' Science Degree in Sydney

    Unless someone has attended at least two universities, did the same degree and major in the same area from both universities, it's hard to tell you which science degree is easier to maintain a 70 average. May be talk to individual students from each university and ask them how hard it is to get...

    B Sci - Double major

    It's not too different from doing a single major because you take the same number of subjects. Therefore, the workload will be the same. No Not sure but try look into the UNSW handbook online or the School website. I think your proposed plan sounds good. A WAM of 75 is definitely possible if...
