2 yr degrees (2 Viewers)

[sikeveo]

Ive heard about some unis offering 2yr accelerated degrees with a 3 semester year.....Anyone know any more about it?

The ANU PhB program offers acceleration of the degree to 2 years so that you can do honours in third year, that's all I know.

If you're considering getting an undergrad degree done in the shortest possible time so you can move on to grad med, just be aware that this kind of acceleration can have a severe negative effect on your marks.

Yeh but many universities have a 'passing the gate' GPA cut off. Usyd doesn't care so long as it's >5.5.

I'm not really seriously contemplating it, as I have no idea what uni is like and how hard it is to get good marks, im just curious.

Master programs such as MPharm is a 2 year POSTGRADUATE degree. In a way its 3 semesters for 2 years (a trimester) in which you learn the whole pharmacy course but you are reuiqred to have obtained a previous related tertiary degree.

Yeh i did a search and found that at macq u can do acturial in 2 years if ur a grad.

It would be harder to squeeze everything into 2 years, but if your desparate and you cant transfer into a course then you may want to do it.

Its also full-fee paying too.

that would be suicidal

Yes, but you have to have some prior knowledge in the area.

You might of probably be working for an actuarial or be related to the industry in some sort of way before undertaking such a fucking short (and difficult) degree.

 

[sikeveo]

Yes i know. Anyway back to the topic.......

You can also elect to do a three semester year degree at OLA/Open Education, the correspondence uni so it would be feasible for you to get a bachelor in one case(the BGenStu) in 1.5 years with them.
