Boy you pharmacy people are nuts.

If you're going to take GEOS1003 I suggest you try out GEOS1001 as well. Indeed. I started looking to major in chemistry, now I'm majoring in geography.

Bachelor of Science (Advanced) (Geography/Environmental Studies) III

Not really. There's nothing in the BPsych that you can't do in the BSc. If you're definitely certain you want to pursue Psych, then go for it. But if you have other interests you may wish to pursue, you won't be disadvantaged by taking the BSc. EDIT: Hmm, we seem to be answering at the same...

Everyone?

"You people" being those either not doing a science degree or those yet to do one. And don't think of job prospects hanging entirely on whether your degree is a BSc or BPsych, most employers aren't that ignorant. Looking at the course structure of the BPsych, seeing as you require 30cp of...

The UNSW BSc (Adv) includes an honours year. USyd doesn't provide such liberties, but still has to offer a BSc (Adv) of its own as an offering towards the higher students.

Well it probably would, but if your major focus point is going to be your science, would it really be worth it doing half a degree on something purely for job reasons, and leaving less degree space to actually learn the science? It probably would be. Depends on which uni and how their degrees...

Do honours.

No, it doesn't matter if they're in the BSc or BSc (Adv). As long as you fulfill the prerequisites you'll be fine. In reality, there's no difference between the two. Those in the BSc (Adv) or BSc (Adv Maths) need to complete a certain number of Advanced units each year, to sufficient standard...

I wouldn't use the ATAR to judge between the courses. Only advice I'd give is to go to each uni at their open days whenever they're coming up and see for yourself. Ask questions to the staff, have a look around, be inquisitive. And facilities aren't always the best indicator for quality of...

I'm not familiar with the UNSW environmental science program, but just thought I should let you know that the USyd 'environmental studies' major is more of a rehash from what was left over from the Bachelor of Science (Environmental) after it was discontinued. My understanding is that you'd have...

To do the actual units, you don't need 99.15.

It looks like part of the point of uni for you is to pick subjects that give you alcohol laden field trips. I'd dispute that, but then that's been my motivation for most of my unit selection as well.

Oh yes that's totally correct and informative... mattk210, first thing that you should take into account that in reality there are little differences between the BSc, BSc (adv) and BSc (adv maths). They exists simply as what you'd call 'marketing' to compete with the meaningful UNSW Adv Sci...

Re: Subject Reviews (PDF updated 17/01/09) That's not the review I was hoping to see.

CHEM 2912 Chemical Structure and Stability (Adv) 75.0 Distinction Was bracing for a disaster. Instead I get a middle of the range mark. Doesn't make my decision to continue into 3rd year chem any easier, or not. It can only go downhill from here...

Re: Subject Reviews (PDF updated 17/01/09) :) Glad I saw this then. Would've taken quantum chem next year had I had the impression Beattie was taking Complexes...

Re: Subject Reviews (PDF updated 17/01/09) I liked the phys geog units better but I did take some human ones and enjoyed them (econ geog and env management). I didn't take urban but I've heard good things about it. There are no bad courses, though for some units you might want to be a little...
