on something unrelated, asq, i passed through Asquith yesterday, as I was far far away from the comfort of my eastern suburbs home. So now I know where it is :D

back to law, if you get a diploma, that means you can be a solicitor or barrister etc? Wouldn't an LLB hold more weight though?

grad dip of law is enough to practice i think
i know, i think u only need like 70uai or something. basically its like tafe in conjunction with usyd, like u get to use their resources and stuff...and i guess it qualifies u to be eligible to become a solicitor and barrister, but there must be something wrong with it..i think its meant for mature-age students or oldies :p

why don't u just major in business law then? i mean it'd save u two years, and if u don't wanna practice law, why bother with a law degree?

two words: employment options
and i was thinking of business law...but I like international business too much
either way, Im basically doing a minor in Business law due to CA professional recognition requirements

A whopping 0.05. :p

Well, places weren't reduced at USYD, so there's no real reason for there to have been any significant increase in demand at UNSW.

in it i had to choose btw accouting/law, finance/law, commerce/law etc... wtf?
i thot choosing majors was during enrollment?
wots going on?... how come accouting/finance/commerce are under the same heading... i thot accouting/finance are majors within commerce
You're right, accounting and finance ARE majors within commerce. I think you'll find the actual list to be different to the one shown in that demo - if you check out the virtual handbook (now online again), you'll see that as of 2003, the accounting/law, finance/law etc programs have been subsumed into the commerce/law program.

I think they showed up in the demo because the student was transferring (and hence would be in second-year or something along those lines).

Don't fret. ;)

inside goss says it will 99.5 or 6 this year ...with usyd at 99.7 or 8
Note to self: do not believe any of asqy's "inside goss" :D
