its a really good course, trust me...ive spoken to the uni people and they said its pretty top notch, they have a crime house and everythingg
and i suggest you check out UWS site...and the course description thing.
and the pre-requisites...ive only done biology & general maths.
it doesn't really matter.

i got a prelim offer today and just enrolled! :uhhuh:

anyway,do you live around the greater western sydney?
because, UWS automatically gives you 5 bonus points towards your UAI.
and another 5 bonus points if you got a band 5 in biology, chemistry or somethingg.
and they give preference to the people applying in greater western sydney

UWS generally lets you get in a course even if its like 10 UAI points less.

i think you'll be alrightt.
goodluck

In relation to your question i have heard it is a very good course hence my choice to accept my offer and do it. Many people say it is a very fulfilling course which gives you more then enough qualifications to go into the workforce as a professional forensic scientist whether it be with the police or the private sector.

oh yay!
thats awesomeee, congratulations to you aswell
im super excited.
might be seeeeing you then haha.
& yeah i checked out the course description stuff...
i know what im gonna do for the bit where it said "choose one of"
but the electives...no clue!

one question though,
http://community.boredofstudies.org/newreply.php?do=newreply&noquote=1&p=4034694when i went to do the 'unit set selection'
it said:
" At present Unit Sets are not applicable to you. Please move to the next enrolment step"

did yours do that too?

 

[katie tully]

You've been accepted into the police.


Why not just stay in the police, and if you want to do forensics down the track, the police will pay for your training...

Eh?

Yeah thats exactly what mine said and i was like "ooooook well thats a problem" lol. Ive got all the "choose one of" stuff down too.

The course description only says elective but gives no hint whatsoever to the choices. Prolly will see you there lol. Gotta start making connections early aye .

So excited to start, cant wait, ever since i got my confirmation ive been pumped.

 

[ashh.ONFIRE]

ah im not the only one then!
i was a tad freaked out when i saw that haha.
oohh im on a high too
& yesss, defs gotta start making these "connections"
haha

Hey did you get a call from UWS congratulating you on your offer and asking if you wanted any further information??

I did but was out at the time, and have to call back tomorrow or Friday.

Im thinking about asking about the elective choices and whether you can enroll for more than one session at a time.

 

[ashh.ONFIRE]

i sure did :]
i was like...
"now this is nice...a courtesy call and everythingg!"
ahh im curious about the electives also...
might just give them a buzz sometime.

Lol i felt so special when i listened to the voice mail.

I was like 2 years of hardcore, brain numbing studying has finally paid off and now i have proof lol. Did you put in all of the units?? or just for the first session (the autumn one)??

 

[ashh.ONFIRE]

im confused...
put in all the units?
i haven't put in any units...
neither the 'unit sets' or 'unit selection'
won't let meee!

are we meant to?
have you done it!?

I haven't yet because i want to make sure ive got everything sorted out first but you are able to but in the 'unit selection', just not the 'unit sets' from what ive been seeing.

I think for some courses there is no need for us to put in 'unit sets' because there are all individual units.

This helps a bit:
