    UNSW Uni fees arent so high

    if you meant by which method i pay? i pay by way of credit card. if you meant; WHY is that 20K+, i mistakenly assumed it was same as last years fees. but NSW fees have obviously gone up this year to $540/credit point. for me (commerce), each year is 8 subjects x 6 credit points x $540, minus a...

    3rd year architecture failing + dilemma

    I hear that architecture is a very hard course. In UniSA, its a 5 year course! i know a few ppl that graduated from there, and half didnt get jobs after a year. and apparently, the ones that did get jobs, were paid quite poorly for several years before getting a decent 80k. if thats all true...

    Actuarial Studies - right path for me?

    i'm only first yr at unsw, and havent touched on any REAL actuarial subjects. this sem, I thought i was really struggling with the maths since i hadnt done any for a decade. I didnt even do the bridging course! however, i'm suprised to find that my marks arent as bad as i expected, since the...

    Diploma in Law - LPAB

    i did yr 12 over a decade ago in Adelaide. i meant that my law friends from uni, always complaining of homework due. at Adelaide uni, students had to get into groups of 4, and summarise cases and report back to the class. this meant that you could fudge it, but there was at least some...

    Diploma in Law - LPAB

    @ shona1990 i just realised you're straight from highschool, had 1.5 years off and heading into the LPAB. in that case, i think you will likely find it very tough unless you really really enjoy reading, I can not think of any better sleeping tablet that works better than law books. i would...

    Diploma in Law - LPAB

    Ive done this course, back when the exams counted for 100% of your marks!!! i hear they have changed it this year to make the assignment 50% and exam 50%. here is what i think other people's perceptions are: -ppl that know what the LPAB actually is, think its tougher than uni. -younger people...

    Fin1613

    you dont need 1612 as a prerequisite. theres plenty of ppl in my actuarial class that only did 1613 without 1612, because we need 1613 for the actuarial major.

    Is Medicine really a hard course?

    Ive been trying to get into specialist training for years to no avail.... :mad1: To give you an idea how tough it is: given the rate of skin cancer in Australia, there's 1 (one) position in sydney each year to enter training as a dermatologist. Government hinted a crapload of money to increase...

    Is Medicine really a hard course?

    I completed medicine and i am also studying law with the LPAB, and actuarial studies at UNSW. i havent worked as a lawyer or actuary, so can only comment on the studies law is not as difficult as medicine in terms of being able to scrape through the course. Just lots and lots of reading, but...

    Fins1612 finacial market and inst.

    1612 - its seriously got to be easier than FINS1613! its just an intro into finance, and gives you a very general knowledge about finance. i'm doing 1612 and 1613 at once, and i tell you, 1613 is more involved. but apparently, its still easy compared to the later ones., and super easy if you...
