UWS Open Day (2 Viewers)

[melsc]

One disappointment was not being able to access the Moot Court. I reckon we should have even been able to observe a case!

I KNOW I went looking for the moot court but couldn't find it *i did see some law profs room tho*

I got some more information and chatted to a really nice female law student who was finsihing now...abt how u get to do ur PLT while ur doing ur degree
I soooo wanna go to UWS now

The guy at the law table was making out like it was soooo hard to get a credit average

I didnt see any bos ppl I dont think, I was wearing a light pink jacket, jeans, a t-shirt that says "forget love i'd rather fall in chocolate" and a lil pink beenie thing
I also go my photo taken *arg hopes pick wont appear in UWS brochers or something*

i scored a free triangle highlighter!! ^^

it was a different set up to some ive seen. it would have been good if we could actually enter most of the deptarments to see where we would be studying. but it seemed too basic to me.

i was wearing almost all black except for the jacket. haha i got lost at parra almost, in an attempt to find the shuttle. i fouond the moot court.

i got slime

aww damn ... so many freebies! I should have gone, but no, I stayed at home and played the ps2 all day

haha.. the yo-yo's! did you all take one?
mum turned me and my mates into free labour for a bit hauling boxes of those things around.. student services slaves. but we got name-badged and lunched so it was all good.

tried for the shuffle as well.. but some of the things -- 10 backflips on that bunjee thing? no way!

I found it, but it wasn't open. I looked through the window and must say I was impressed. Looks very good!

*I know I am sad*

Me and my friends went into some Whitlam Library *is that the law library?* anyway there were so many law books, I was soooo excited so I took some pics with my camera phone It probably is the law library since I noticed there was only law books in there...
Here you go *click for a full size pic*:

I was talking to some guy at the law stand, and he said if you have to transfer you can take intro to law even if u are currently doing another degree so u can transfer...how can u do that?

 

[Angel45]

i'm not too sure...

only way i'd imagine is if u had a spare elective in ur degree where u could choose to take intro to law.

 

[Cape]

Geez Melsc ... your obsessed!!!

 

[irnie]

i was so disappointed cos i cant do bachelor of art/bachelor of fine arts as a double degree

can u do one and do the other post grad?

 

[irnie]

hmmm not sure, dont think so because fine arts is really in no way affiliated with bachelor of arts

Couldn't you do a B of arts, and major in a specific area. And then choose all free electives from the fine arts degree. Its hard cause they are two completely different degrees. Usually double / combined degrees overlap.

Edit: The B of fine arts looks better to choose electives in. Then you can sub major in what ever you like from the arts degree.

 

[irnie]

even if i choose all free electives from fine arts area, i still wont be able to properly specialise in what i wanna do and wont have a uni qualification for that specific area, right?

but at the same time, just in case art doesnt bring me a career, i wanna do the bachelor of arts for a fallback. other unis do offer that combination.

If you do the fine arts degree, you will be qualified and recognised for whatever you want to do. The degree encompasses free electives which allow you to specialise in a certain area. So say, if you were interested in arts language, then all your free electives would be from arts languages.

I don't know about other unis, it would be best to look through their handbooks.

Every degree has electives, its just people like to follow the teaching schedule, but you can take your electives whenever you want, its your choice, so say if you want to trasnfer and your in any other degree besides the one you want to be in, just enrol by handing in a prgram variation form and your done diddly done. so you can do intro to law and say you get the transfer, you dont waste your time as you get academic credit.
