Macquarie Open Day (3 Viewers)

[Freakstyler09]

Cabramatta > Strathfield > Epping > Macquarie University.
131500.info tells me its a 1 hour 20 minute trip.

Forget it.

Cabra, that's near where I live, what school do u go to?

The Mac Open day would have been pretty cool to go to for the freebies as well! ^_^

Although there is no real Engineering courses there... >_> (phail).

 

[Tom Fuller]

open day was just like all the others

 

[siddharthlaha]

engineering at macquarie seems really crap.... although commerce stuff seemed ok

I thought that it was pretty well organised. I spent most of my time at the faculty of business and economics' hall. Their lectures were okay... though one of the lecturers were a little eccentric...

 

[speedofsound]

the camels were SO CUTE. as was the kindifarm... yes, i am 5.

now considering a few new courses. the social science and sociology guy was great. and yeah that's like all i saw.

 

[Stephie-Rae]

I thought it was great. Everyone was really helpful, most of the lectures were to the point and didn't drag on too much (except for the psychology one *yawn*) and i managed to choose my desired course out of my list of 4 options, so i'm happy. looking forward to next year =)

The business and economics booths owned all the other unis in terms of helpfulness, clarity and niceness. Also, the yoyos were pretty cool. I liked the USB too.

The girl at the Actuarial Studies booth was awesome, especially as she is a current student. Actually, all the current students that were there were generally a lot better than the guys at UTS, USyd and UNSW.

I thought it was better than all the other universities. Especially liked the lake and the water spout, made for a nice cooler at the end of the day when it was burning.

On an off note, didn't see any bosers, and no bosers saw me.

Did anyone go to the 2h Actuarial Studies lecture? If you did, can you please give us a run down of what was said?

 

[Prashant Sallan]

actuarial lecture information anyone?

 

[lyounamu]

Yes I went to 2 hour one.

Summary:

Macq = best in the actuarial studies in oz if not the world
Actuaries = big money, top rated job in the world (top 1-2)

I wasn't even looking at Actuarial- I was in Arts, and the people there were fantastic, ALOT more personable and knowledgeable than the Usyd and UNSW people (or so it seemed..!)

I think Macquarie has a 'vibe' to it. I really, really liked it. Really.

perhaps you should consider where you got this information from.

There are so many business cources......
and one girl there told me that you will only get partial professional recognised if you do 2 majors in B Commerce. It I want to study 2 majors with full accredited then I need to do a double degree......you serious????

I would only take advice from proper academic advisors tbh, not just some girl.

cant you double major on a single degree?

 

[Aquawhite]

cant you double major on a single degree?

Depends on the course and university... generally, yes.

I have a friend who is doing Software Engineering and will have a double major in his degree.

I want to do double major as well. But the thing is will both majors get fully accrdited? not partial as what the girl who has told me in MACQ.

That girl is the one who is advicing people in the business info center. But i don't really believe of what she had said.

I'm not sure if both will be fully accredited. I'm not sure, but why wouldn't they? You did the course!

Coz you can't study all the units as you need to left some space for the other major.

A major = 50% of your degree.

if you dont have room for 2 majors, then you done too much on one side and not the other
