Guess who doesn't know what school their course belongs to.

Guess why? Cause my course doesn't exist anymore, we are the last bunch to enter and graduate before it became the Bachelor of Tourism.

But, I think the new school system is good, much less schools and much more easier to understand.

Law is in the College of Business? How shit. Law should have its own College.

you'd be either in the Science one or Business (management) - i remember being told that a lot of the tourism related units are technically management units so you may fall under this...

there's probably a list on the website - because i know that the school of management lists what courses it covers so just have a flick thru the various ones it might fall under on the website coz it should be listed somewhere...

yeh most of em make sense except nursing and law...

with the new med. stuff starting you'd think they'd make nursing and med their own thingo since they're trying to hype it up so much..

and law and business soooo are not the same....

i can see why stuff like finance and accounting and economics are combined coz there's not that huge a student base in each on its own and they're pretty similar...

this better not mean the buildings get changed around at parra lol...coz i finally know where everything is!

Its not the fact that they are the same, its just the areas of arts, business and health and sciences are just so broad that its easier to sub divide them. (And I don't want to start a law fight either ). Realistically theres only one course (generalising, I know that there are many law degrees) that can use law and nursing. Where as its the opposite for the broader areas. Meh, I dunno.

Either way, I think its a good move by the uni, no matter how much we kicked up a stink when they cut subjects that we wanted to do.

i don't care about how they're divided coz like.. my course is never going to get cut.. its too popular and the schools bring in too much research money..

its more the fact that by these divisions - it will mean less non-uni-created funding... and when the gov etc do give funding, it'll mean they give it to the college not the specific schools... so eg - the School of ER is hugely profitable but Law isn't as much so.. but coz ER brings in a lot of money and coz now law is in teh same college, it'll mean law gets less money... same as with the new med stuff and nursing etc....

more about the money than the divisions since.. the divisions don't really mean anything

^ its a bit weird that Law is with business
