According to this page: http://mq.edu.au/future_students/undergraduate/bonus_points/rural_bonus_scheme/ The scheme can be applied to all degrees which you applied for through UAC. I can't believe Dural students are getting points for this though, I am further than that from the university and...

This. If you are curious about what sort of assessments there are in a particular unit, you may be able to find an old version online just by doing a search (but note that asessment structures can change from semester to semester). If you are on campus, some lecturers will keep version of the...

No. See this page (question three - lists all the programs not eligible for the Academic Advantage scheme): www.mq.edu.au/future_students/undergraduate/bonus_points/academic_advantage/

No worries, just jump into any thread, that's what a forum is for. Deciding majors - well, let's put it this way, the requirement for a major is 24 credit points (about 2 semesters' worth of units)... so as long as you complete this requirement then you can put that major on your degree. Some...

Re: Should I do commerce (proffessional accounting) at Macquarie or ANU (commerce). Macquarie does have a really good commerce (accounting) program. But, if you are considering ANU, does that mean you are down at Canberra? And are you planning on doing your CA/CPA afterwards?

Re: Thoughts on a commerce degree majoring in marketing and account? I think it's a good match in the sense that one side will teach you communication/interpersonal skills and the other will teach you numbers and well, numbers....

Fair enough :)

Also have a look at the information from the major companies/big 4/banks etc on their graduate programs. Looking at what the different streams/service lines do will give you a better idea of what sort of jobs you will be interested in.

At Mq; you can combine it with applied finance, economics or science. What are you interested in or what sort of industry/job do you want after uni? Applied Finance and Economics would obviously have more in "common" with actuarial studies and wouldn't be difficult if you are good with numbers...

I'm sorry, I can't tell whether you are saying this with sarcasm or not?

^ 100 levels are fantastic when you are in 2nd year or later, it gives you a decent grade with minimal effort and you get a breather from your harder subjects. Plus, you get to beat first-years without even trying :D (Sorry that last bit was mean....)

This ^ I hear that it is tough, but the pay is (apparently) good. There's an active student society for actuarials and they seem to like hanging around each other (generalisation). Bobbo1 - what are you planning on combining it with?

They don't seem to list the price on their website: http://www.campuslife.mq.edu.au/sport/sport--aquatic-centre/membership => there's number you can call on there though. It looks pretty, but honestly, the walk up the slope to get there is exercise enough :)

Re: If I do a commerce degree majoring in marketing what jobs can i get when i gradua Other than the obvious jobs with Marketing/Communication and sometimes PR firms, as well as in-house positions. There are also a wide range of other more "general" positions which will also recruit marketing...

"Good" will depend on what you are interested in and what career you are planning for after uni. Accounting and Finance will obviously compliment each other. However, Marketing does teach you a lot of other skills which will also be useful *cough* communication skills *cough*

It's a fair enough question for someone who hasn't been to uni yet :)

Shouldn't be a problem, students are still receiving invitations to do Honours for 2012...

Well, I imagine it won't affect those already enrolled or were recently invited to enrol into Honours, if they haven't even approved or decided yet ^ Have you thought about what topic you will focus on for your honours?

I found this response from Macquarie to another student's question about the Honours program: "Macquarie University is currently considering whether to adopt the international standard of postgraduate study known as the 'Bologna model'. Under this model, students undertake a two-year Masters...

The combined B Applied Finance programs are very popular - if you combine it with economics, there's a fair amount of similarity between the two areas and they really complement each other. On the other hand, if you combine it with commerce - you get more choices in majors. Depends on what you...
