    Does anyone here study a masters in health policy or public health?

    I am a combined arts/ law student at the moment interested in going into health law and policy development.

    What are some useful majors in the arts degree?

    Everyone has heard the phrase that an arts degree is useless, or for personal interest, or too generalist and broad. Basically it has a bad rep among people who often generalise about it and arts degree students often find themselves attempting to defend it. Considering that no university...

    Bachelor of International Studies (which language should I pick?)

    Mandarin Pros: - wider range of people speak it - China has a ever growing presence in the world so it will be useful to learn it in the long-run. - apparently we're living in the "asian century" - It is one of the more powerful Asian nations and therefore Chinese will be useful in all kinds...

    Some questions on class participation for law?

    Anyone studied the Bachelor of Arts and Business at UNSW

    Scaling

    If you don't sit the NSW HSC exam, then scaling won't really be relevant to you as scaling is dependent on the calibre of the candidature of students.

    I got a 99+ ATAR and 2 state rankings without tutoring in those particular subjects. However tutoring, even for a 99+ student can help.
