lol i got a uai of 88.95 and i wanted to do commerce so i went to macquarie and did an arts-psychology degree planning to transfer... i've got the grades to transfer and everything but the problem is... is that i've fallen in love with psychology lol so theres no way im transferring to a commerce degree now!!

and you can transfer mid semester into commerce if you do 12 credit points (normal workload) and you pass u get..... but for applied finance and acturials and law and all that other crap is higher

Transferring from an Arts degree at mq is quite easy. Since you have access to a range of things YOU want to do. And on the norm theyre basically easier when you like the subjects. Additionally, since there are no mandatory subjects (cores) you can do the subjects of the Commerce degree that are available

keep in mind that b. commerce - marketing has a higher required gpa criteria to fulfill. its a 2.5 where as the general b. commerce is only a 2.0 which is a clear pass average.

any idea wat it might b 4 the b human resource management??

 

[clairegirl]

for human resource management it wont be ready until 2nd semester they hope anyway... and i think it'll be a 2.5 or something so yeah it should be fine

what is the difference in workload between a gpa of 2.0 and 2.5?? i dont like it when they make up numbers and expect yr12 students to understand them

 

[AsyLum]

A few Creds a few Passes

= easily achievable through a light workload

 

[thejosiekiller]

thx for that- stupid gpa, why do they have to make up things like gpa and wam? to confuse yr 12 students no doubt

 

[jlh]

mq works on a 4.0 scale to calculate the gpa...

hd= 4
d= 4
cr= 3
p= 2
cp= 1
f= 0



the projected uai for b. human resource management is 89.00

i'm not sure but is there an interview process you had to go thru? or will have to go thru?

hopefully if there is, how well you do in the interview will get you into the course....

good luck..
