    What uni for teacher

    I think this is what you are looking for: http://education.arts.unsw.edu.au/areas-of-study/science-education-142.html Bachelor of Science/Bachelor of Education at UNSW. Maths majors at university are usually undertaken in science degrees. On this link there's a structure down the page of a...

    What are the advantages of doing a double degree?

    Generally a double degree doesn't involve any more work or hours then a single degree. You still do four subjects a semester, it just takes a longer period of time to do both degrees (eg. 5 years instead of 3). The only point at which you can argue its more difficult is that you have to get...

    Likes/Dislikes about USyd

    What does an education/arts degree have to do with HR? And there's nothing wrong with an arts degree :p In any case.... Arts (Hons)/Law Likes: - the people - societies/culture - lecturers are generally engaged with the content - location - easy to get to and close to the city. - facilities...

    Majors

    Law doesn't have a major. It's just law. At USYD you have two years worth of compulsory subjects (16 subjects), and 1 year worth of electives (8 subjects including a jurisprudence subject). Actually there might now only be 7 electives, I think there might be a compulsory private international...

    Transfer into UTS Law?

    From my understanding USYD law takes 50/50 atar and wam/gpa or 100% wam if it's higher. However it is generally recommended that you need at least an atar of 97 to be competitive and a D average. I would think if you are relying just on wam/gpa (ie your atar is below 97, you would probably need...

    The University of Sydney Open Day - 25 August

    I assume you mean going over the footbridge next to wentworth then on to redfern. You don't have to walk up the stairs - the stairs are there to save you having to wait at the traffic lights to pass the road. But walking across the road (and no stairs) is a completely viable option. :p Not all...

    The University of Sydney Open Day - 25 August

    The student ambassadors are volunteering their time - and USYD is that big, with that many buildings, that even after being there for 6 years, I still wouldn't necessarily know the location of every building. Its unfortunate you were given incorrect directions, but even current students have to...

    St. Andrew's, St. John's, or Wesley? And Why? (USYD Residential Colleges)

    A bit difficult without knowing anything about you - but any particular reason you are not interested in Womens? (or Sancta?) (is it the lack of boys?) :p All the colleges have some form of party culture - some just more than others. Drews has a bar on site, which can make things very fun for...

    UNSW or USYD Need Help Please

    I would recommend going and seeing both campuses. There are lots of USYD vs UNSW threads on here - everyone has a different opinion and preference. It really is a personal choice. This isn't going to be much help, but I have to say that University is what you make of it. If you are fun and...

    How many clubs/socs do people join?

    You can join as many as you like. They won't care how many others you have joined. Give it a go, and see which ones you like. What tends to end up limiting people is their actual involvement in whatever clubs they have joined. So I perhaps joined about 10 in my first year, I was actively...

    pre req help !:)

    Most uni's don't have pre-reqs anymore as Arcadian said, they are just recommended - however from your list they do list them as 'pre-reqs'. My advice would be to call the university/faculty - they are probably the only ones who will be able to give you a definitive answer. :)

    How to drop a subject before the census date?

    Go on to 'myuni' then 'myadmin' - then click on 'enrolment variations 2012' and follow the prompts click on the subject to 'drop' it. :)

    How old is too old to stay in Uni?

    No. A combined degree will be generally minimum 5 years. If you do honours in one of them, that's an extra year. Or if you did a undergrad then a masters or a graduate degree (eg. JD) that will take you at least 5 years. There are lots of people at uni who are in their mid-late 20s. I did the...

    Semester 2 USYD Chatter Thread

    I don't think there is one set standard that you could call 'good'. I think it really depends on your personal goals, or what industry you are hoping to get into (if, for example, you are trying to get a grad job out of your degree, then you may need something higher than 'normal', or your WAM...

    Semester 2 USYD Chatter Thread

    Not sure if this affected you, but with the network problems yesterday, some lectures failed to record. This is the message on ELearning: "Scheduled Lecture Recordings (Echo360) and University Network Issues. Please note that lectures may have failed to be recorded on Monday 30 July and Tuesday...

    Semester 2 USYD Chatter Thread

    I also had problems with the internet today - just couldn't connect to the 'UniSydney' wifi. I just ended up using my phone's internet. They sent an email earlier in the day saying there was maintenance occurring from 6pm tonight and the whole thing would go down again to fix whatever is still...

    Semester 2 USYD Chatter Thread

    There's a new (ish- not sure how new it actually is), Sydney Uni app. USYD appears to be spamming me with advertising for it all over Facebook. It seems to work pretty well so far - it includes blackboard so you can check units on webct (seems to work better for me than the actual blackboard...

    Lawyer Salaries - Help me

    I was just trying to correct information. In any case, it all looks great to me after 6 years on a student budget. That $20k (taxed etc) could equal a holiday! :)

    Lawyer Salaries - Help me

    Those figures look a little low for top tier commercial law firms - the package (including super etc) are more in the range omnipotence gave earlier in the thread (around $70-80k). That's what I've heard anyway.
