When you talk about hours, is that per week or fortnight?

 

[Rahul]

they usually talk about them in terms of weekly hours

not more than 11-12 hrs a week ... and yes, its hrs in terms of hrs/wk

wow! i thought it would be 20+, like engineering. how many hours do you do for eng/acturials?

MOD - SPAMMING !!!!!!!!

well, engg at unsw is 23-24 EXCEPT for seng which is around 18. so my degree is abt 16-17 hrs a week, 17 this session.
next session onward, i overload, so it'll be more. but otherwise i'd expect abt 18 hrs every session. but thats only formal hrs, u tend to spend a lot more hrs outside that doin assignments and grp meetings.

B Eng Civil/B Commerce would have it bad...

Hours per week would be around 25

At MQ, the usual timetable means (from memory) - 15 to 16 hours in Semester 1... and 18 to 19 hours in Semester 2, although the majority only go to about 16 to 17 hours.

thats not that bad...i'm happy with that

hey wat do u guys think will be better for me 2 do
if i cant get straight into bcomm shoud i do b arts at maq and then attempt to transfer OR do bcomm at UWS and attempt to transfer from there into bcomm at maq ?

 

[Rahul]

since you are here flyin', what was the avg gpa needed to possibly transfer to acst after 1st yr? it was credit if i remember correctly, no?

the cut in places is going to affect acst greatly i heard, the cut off may be 98-99, from the original ~97+

at unsw its about 13-14 hrs of classes in first year

most people would probably only go to 11-12 ish of classes, i mean sometimes lectures just suck

doing actuarial adds another 3 hrs in first year because of the maths course, so about 16ish if you go to everything (haha)

I would be extremely surprised if the UAI cut of exceeded 97.5, in all honesty, for just the single degree. And atm, they have already over-enrolled ACST by ~10%, so cutting places won't make too much difference. However, the double degrees might rise a bit more, but that doesn't matter.

thats good news...for some

lol thanks

i remember reading in the paper that they were going to stop over-enroling this year, hence more places being cut.

but hey i have some "good" news. job prospects for actuarial grads atm is shitehouse. So maybe that'll lower demand for the course.
