Heya, I mayaswell start.

There are a few things you can do. B = Bachelor

1. BMedia / (Writing): http://www.cal.mq.edu.au/programofstudy.php?edition=2005&code=WRTG02 look at all the specified units and see what you think.

2. BCA (BCreative Arts) (Creative Writing):
http://www.cal.mq.edu.au/programofstudy.php?edition=2005&code=CRE03 , you'll have to type in those codes (ENG, etc) in the top left search function. Then you'll get an overview of each and their prerequisites.

3. BCA (Int.) (BCreative Arts (international) (Creative Writing):
http://www.cal.mq.edu.au/programofstudy.php?edition=2005&code=CRE07 , I really can't see the difference between 2. and 3., but the latter seems more sought after as it has a higher UAI.

4. BA (BArts) (English, Cultural studies, etc, etc. You chose whatever you like):
http://www.cal.mq.edu.au/degree.php?edition=2005&id=21034 that would be my go. Firstly, because you can do a diverse rang of units. Secondly, you can transfer into 1, 2, or 3 if you chose

You just have to do a bit of research, go in on the open day, get booklets (and a sticker!) and ask questions.

Just to add to above post:

The only real difference between BCA and BCA (Int Studies) is that the International course looks at international rather than purely Aussie art issues. Also, the 100 hours of non-paid work at an approved institution at the end of the course are done overseas (Mac pays for this, yay!) rather than in Australia.
