Difficult Decision... (1 Viewer)

B Arts / M(aster) in Teaching (Primary) - UWS

or

B Arts/ Dip(loma) in Education (i'm going for primary) - Macquarie University

Aren't Diplomas offered at Tafe??? So that Education degree would be as bad as Tafe??? (the Arts part is normal though :S)

I want people's opinion:

A more prestigious uni (Macquarie) offering a B Arts, and minimal Education degree (just enough to get a job).

OR

A looked-down upon uni (U Went Shit - UWS) offering B Arts, and a Master in Teaching, a decent education degree.

The one that's not UWS.

I suppose the MQ diploma means a graduate diploma. I guess both could land you a teaching job, so, why not go for MQ. You are in a lesser dilemma than me. Yeah, if both degrees are similar, go for the "better" uni.

The UWS one sounds slightly better in the UAC 09 Guide with reference to 'career opportunities'

BTW I turned down financial advising at UWS to go for B Arts at Macquarie so that I could transfer into Applied Finance OR Commerce at Macq

yeah exactly why i left choosing macq until like beginning of 09, i didn't know if it meant i could get a job, but some people told me i could get a job with it, and 1 person said this in this thread...

I'd decide on the smaller travelling time.

Basically.

Dip Eds are fine btw.

for me macq would be like half an hour i dunno, and uws took me 2 and a half hours going a longer path (i think there was a shorter way, but i picked the wrong one, when i first went to ask questions).

go to macq

30 mins or less = fucking fantastic.

you will regret travelling 1.5 hours + every day for the rest of your uni life. uws also has no campus life so its not even worth it travelling that far.

if i were you, i would go to mq. it has good reputation for teaching

go to whichever on suits you most, look at graduate employment figures etc. & make an informed decision for yourself.

He could use the UWS degree as wrapping paper.

I placed MQ as an option as well. I heard B Arts/M teaching at UWS has a poor reputation and i agree that MQ is a great uni for teaching. If you have issues with Diploma of education, well then you can complete the arts degree at MQ and transfer to complete the M of Teaching at UWS - that's what i was planning to do and may still do once i finish Arts at Syd (still considering, i hope to complete honours, so we'll see how it goes). It's a big decision, but take your time; take the first leap and let things fall into place. Goodluck!

I didn't even get a USB stick

doesn't matter though, i already have like 3 mp3 players that can be used for that, and a usb stick previously purchased

 

[Hagaren]

obviously you are as stupid as i thought you were if you can't decide this for yourself.
