Im interested in this course as well not because of the low uai, but because it's do to with nutrition/dietetics right?
lol, no it's really got nothing to do with nutrition/dietetics( well maybe a bit...but nothing more than 3classes worth of work) I suggest the B. Nutrition/B sports science...its got a higher UAI though.
Just a thing about the uai for this course though...apparently the course has been really high demand this year and uai is expected to rise, just like a lot of the other health science courses.( and when the campus moves into the city uai is said to be >85...lol thats because cumbo is a hole and no one wants to treck out there
)
Personally i didn't do it becuase of the low uai either but because i wasnt really sure what i wanted to do 100%, i knew it was something in health but i didnt know as yet. A lot of people finish the course and do a masters in something else (which is good because say you wanted to do nutrition/dietetics, as you have to do is a postgrad one year by correspondance and you're just as qualified as the people who've done the actual course) When you actually get into uni you really start talking to people who are in other courses, and lecturers open your eyes to things that finally start to interest you...because there are a lot of branches to the course, you have lecturers from all faculties, so you might be sitting in a anatomy lecture...or a biochem lecture and think WOW i really want to end up doing what this guys doing. (this might be 2months into the course or 2years into the course) And when you do you go visit the first yr co-ordinator (who is AWESOME lol) and you'll be like this is what i want to end up doing, and he'll be like right you need to do this and then this and then this. Whether you want to be a physio..or a neurologist..or a nurse.
Anyway if you're not sure what aspect of health you want to get into..i would do this.
