"teacher education, human resource management, science and technology, conveyancing and law, and actuarial studies"

Good news for ppl interested in those courses.

good stuff, keeping us all informed (if i had not already read the article )

k, that's good news for the younger ones

Hmmm..will the UAI drop because of the increase in spots?
The increase seems unsubstantial to lower the UAI ?

 

[-=«MÄLÅÇhïtÊ»=-]

depends..the article doesnt give enough details to exactly how many places are given to each course. For small course like actuarial studies which accepts around 150-180 each yr, an increase of 50 can do alot...

but any increase is better than no increase..esp for the ppl who wouldve juz missed out by .05uai.

350 is a reasonable increase, but I don't think it's even a 2% increase in the number of entrants (for a cohort), and if you take into account the general rise in UAIs required for entry into Macq, there shouldn't be much change in the UAIs required.

wooo, santaslayer
nice uni campus...looks like a gold course resort club thingy


In regards to the thread, ceteris parabus D), wouldnt it mean that mean that the cut off for those courses drop ?

 

[flyin']

Yes, but don't forget more places are to be allocated to full-fee or something or other. Also, each year the UAIs have risen. And 350 extra places isn't much, if spread across many departments.

I don't like it, it decreases the prestige of a degree that I'm already doing (commerce/law)

LoLz, did I tell you that that's only the Law Building? :uhhuh:

flyin/malachite: thanks :wave:

golfstick: reputation/prestige is out of date. It's up to the individual.

When was ur uni made ..established...erected...whatever you call it ?

The transfer criteria might seem easy, but the fact is that MQ are know for harder exams and they dont like giving out good grades often, it seems.

I fully agree with orangeguy. Even if they give out easy exams (eg. Comp115) they scale it down heaps.

And also a HD can't save your GPA as much.
