    I've been doing Actuarial but hate it?

    Advertising you're probably looking at one of the more creative arts courses, rather than marketing, depending on which area you want to get into I guess.

    Is a GPA of 3.25 good enough to be allowed to do 15 CP a semester?

    You have to get an academic advisor from within that department/faculty to sign off on it as part of the form, and bring your transcript, and explain why you're overloading, should be fairly easy :)

    Career prospects following a B Media at macq.

    This thread was 2 years ago.... As for the new media degree, I think it offers great flexibility while allowing you to complete the necessary practical units to major in either 1 or a variety of them. The new building is great, the new leadership enhances the feeling of a collective and...

    Big Day Out 2010

    Are you kidding, decemberists were boring as fuck, no way were they even in the same league as Muse, let alone Karnivool (who are always tight and good without being overly great). The Mars Volta were great, they also managed to limit themselves to 20 minutes for their jam session. Wtf...

    Arts units question..

    4 each semester is the average workload. 4 x 3cp units = 12cp. If you wish to 'overload' you'll have to show to the academic advisor that you're an exceptional case, especially for first year (eg, you've previously done a language, or music etc).

    UWS -> MQ Transfer Opinions

    Did you happen to read this page (or whatever was in its place prior): Alternative Pathways - Future Students Undergraduate - Macquarie University The reason I ask is because it seems like even though it was only to UWS College, it's still considered as part of UWS and thus used the UAC...

    What were Muse thinking?

    Personally I like the newer albums, a lot more variety and experimentation. It took me a while to come around to it though, really hated BH&R when it first came out, but lets face it Showbiz to Absolution could've been one really long album, there wasn't really much variation there.

    Where to choose major?

    Majors are predominantly 'figured out' at the end of your degree, basically they calculate where most of your units were completed, don't worry about it not being on estudent, just make sure its there when you're going to graduate.
