    Exchange at Sydney Uni?

    No competition for Turin. I don't recommend this uni though. They're extremely disorganised and unhelpful. Put Bologna as your first - everyone does, it's the best in Italy. I stayed with a friend's family in Bergamo (also close to Milan) for a month before going to Turin. It boosted my language...

    Italian studies

    ITLN2631 and ITLN2632. I think it is possible to go straight to ITLN3611 with those subjects and marks, but you'll have to contact the department to get special permission to enrol in them.

    Exchange at Sydney Uni?

    I'm in Italy on exchange now. I'm doing a BSc/BA also majoring in Italian Studies. You can go no earlier than your second year but you need 3 semesters of language study, unless you picked it up at advanced level at uni. There's very little competition to go to Italy, so I think it'll be easy...

    Physiology: Good or Bad?

    I don't recommend doing what I did. I did 50/50 first year then overloaded 3/5 science 2/5 arts second year, overloaded 3/5 arts 2/5 science first semester third year then normal load 100% arts on exchange this semester. Next year (last year) I'm overloading first sem 4/5 science 1/5 arts then...

    Physiology: Good or Bad?

    Also, junior units. You need 30 junior CPs of science. You need to do maths, so that's 12, you should definitely do chemistry and biology (human biology in first sem, MBLG in second sem) and there's your 30 cp. If you want to do 50/50 science/arts you'll have to wait til third year to do second...

    Physiology: Good or Bad?

    Lolol I'm doing a BSc/BA and planning to do postgrad pharmacy. Weird. Anyway you HAVE to do physiology for both those postgrad degrees, but I thought physiology sucked. The content itself was veeeery interesting, but the course is taught so so so so poorly. I got 50 and 52... just scraped...

    medicinal chemistry and pharmacology

    You can 'pick' your majors anytime you want. You just need to do the right first and second year subjects to allow you to enrol in the required senior units. So it's best to think about it from first year.

    medicinal chemistry and pharmacology

    I came to uni having no idea what to study... so I started with what I liked and went from there... plus doing two languages should give me a significant advantage.

    medicinal chemistry and pharmacology

    Medicinal chemistry is just the first half of the pharmacology plus half of a chemistry major. Personally I like it... two favourite sciences... and yes it's hard, for me. I prefer my arts degree but wtf am I going to do with it?

    medicinal chemistry and pharmacology

    You can't major in both. For a pharmacology major 24 senior credit points are required and only 24 credit senior credit points are offered. No one unit of study can count towards more than one major. You'd have to choose one or the other. I'm doing medicinal chemistry. (sorry to burst your...

    Italian or French?

    I do both. The Italian department is fantastic and very well organised. To be blunt, the French department (as you heard right) is awful, very disorganised, not very passionate at what they do. Even though my French marks are much higher, I'd still say I prefer Italian. My French tute last...

    Anyone here wanting to do a bachelor of science/bachelor of arts at USYD?

    I'm in my third year of the four-year degree (even though it was only changed for 2010, 'cause I transferred). I loooove it. I can pick anything I want to do, which means I haven't been stuck doing too many subjects I didn't want to (just maths and physiology for M Pharm at USyd). I'm majoring...
