Hardest Degree in University? (5 Viewers)

[Phoenix Fury]

I can barely make it through 15 hours of university.

Yeh, 12-13 for me lolol

Abz0 da man

 

[powlmao]

Just counted up my hours for next week, I've got 63 hours I need to be at uni for, not including breaks. Take that engineering workload.

What are you doing!!!!!

 

[powlmao]

Creative Arts. We're setting up the theatre for a production that's on the same week.

I didn't take into account my double degree subjects, so it's probably closer to 66 hours next week.

Oh, you are a tank.

 

[Absolutezero]

Most weeks are between 20 and 30 hours. It's only because we've got a show going up that it's so busy.

I think Medicine would be objectively the hardest, because each year you can be tested on anything you learned right from 1st year, while the rest of us get to forget 1st and 2nd year content the moment we walk out of the exam hall. The standards are higher, too, and the exam questions can be about extremely specific aspects of any of the very large volume of content you have to teach yourself over the year. It's like doing a whole BSc worth of content every semester.


I think maths is over rated, once you grasp how to solve xyz type of problem you're sweet, you can get 90+ no problems. Mastering arts stuff is harder (but passing is easier because of the BS factor).

 

[cheezcake]

Well all these opinions are useless because i don't think theres anyone who's done engineering/medicine/law etc anyway

4th year VIA (vertically integrated assessment) tests the content learned in years 1-4.
everything is interlinked so u really have to recall content all the way from first year in order to understand new principles. that being said, medicine is pretty easy imo.

im at uni 6 hours a week lol.

also i have friends who are doing actuarial and engineering, and they all say actuarial is harder

That'd be a hell of a double.

Yeah but you study different systems in 2nd year to 1st year so it's not necessarily related on that level

everything I said came straight from a UWS med student in any case

maybe they're just stupid.
JOKES. i know some people find medicine hard but majority think its reasonable.

 

[kaz1]

wazzup

You shouldn't lie and imply that you are doing that degree. Because that's just mean and hurtful

 

[chewy123]

Law is not hard.

 

[RookieLaw]

Bachelor of Medical Science With Intention Of Postgraduate Medicine

Challenge accepted.

the extra testing done for entry ensures only the best get a chance to see what its like anyway so even if it is relatively easy for most med students, most students even those in engineering would find it very hard

 

[muhahahahahaha]

It raises the notion of relative - like in the other thread.

I completely agree. Different people find different things difficult or easy. I personally find commerce easy, whereas some other people that I know find it very challenging. Its just depends on the person's abilities.

 

[cutemouse]

I did Physics 1A one of the hardest courses eva

I found that one of my favourite subjects... It was just 4U mechanics with a twist to it IMO.

 

[Fizzy_Cyst]

I have done 4 uni degrees. Relative hardness in this order:

Engineering >>> Science (Nanotechnology) >> Business/Economics > Education

Engo is hard as!

Some of the harder physics courses are also really hard, but nothing compares to an engineering workload. 30+ face to face hours/week from 1st year. Crazy!

Business, well.. yeah.. Only hard part are the essays as I suck at English

and Education, lmfao.

Engineering/Law or some variation of Science/Law (Mathematics, Physics)
