Yes.

If there is enough room to do a double major in a combined arts degree that is. How many senior arts subjects are you meant to do?

I don't think there is enough room... I could only single major, I think.

I can't check how many arts subjects I meant to do because usyd.edu.au isn't working for me atm (wtf?)

On the science page it says:

How do you study history and philosophy of science?

You can major in history and philosophy of science in the Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Science (Advanced), Bachelor of Science and Technology, and Bachelor of Science / Bachelor of Arts degrees in the Faculty of Science, or in the Bachelor of Arts or the Bachelor of Liberal Studies degree in the Faculty of Arts. Units of study may also be taken individually, as long as prerequisites are fulfilled.

I guess that means BE/BA isn't included then.

Guess I'll have to do normal philosophy and prey on the

Accept it, do your first year subjects, and transfer next year, simple.

Did you screw up your application jb_nc, or did you not get the BSc offer thingo?

 

[KarmaKitten]

coffee cart! Coffee cart!

Hopefully this year my friend :mad1: hopefully!

I didn't screw up my application (Sci/Eng was one, Arts/Eng was two). I didn't get the offer; guess my NRSL wasn't high enough... Even though BE/BS was only .5 higher. Fucking cunt.

Currently tossing up whether a degree in philosophy is worth an extra semester at university studying 1000 level Arts subjects (lol). Opinions?

 

[KarmaKitten]

No.
Oh god no.

 

[jb_nc]

No.
Oh god no.

I didn't really think so.

 

[Silver Persian]

You could still get B E/ B Sci in the second round though, rite?

 

[jb_nc]

Yeah... hopefully. It had vacancies at it's UAI cut-off.

I'll get an access card IF the coffee cart outside fisher is back this year.

there are actually some pretty decent off-campus deals on the access card this year (mcdonalds stanmore, broadway cellars), so i'm tempted to buy one. probably won't end up doing it though, i have better things to spend my $99 on.

but a question to waf or anyone else who knows - are there going to be access discounts on bus tickets and magazines at the newsagencies this year? the 'excludes cigarettes, transport tickets and magazines' disclaimer isn't on the website, but i don't trust the access marketing people so it wouldn't surprise me if they accidentally on purpose forgot to put it in. traveltens and magazines are basically the only things i buy at uni so if i can get a discount on them it'd be awesome.

no way on the bus tickets. could you really see the STA doing that. they're probably just lazy.

magazines always sell for RRP so I don't think so there either
