You should be asking about the workload and not necessarily contact hours. For law, it's 2 hours for a lecture + 1 hour tutorial a week for each unit. But these 3 contact hours doesn't reflect the amount of weekly readings which depending on the lecturer can be 50 pages a week for each unit. You...

It's always worth it, give it a go - you never know, and you don't want to be wondering whether you had a chance after the opportunity has gone. Try emphasising other aspects of yourself - extracurricular can include anything from volunteering to doing other activities in or outside of school.

Depends on whether you got a desired job offer. It's probably better to have relevant work experience than investing a year into an honours. Having the honours might help you edge out another graduate with a bachelor - provided that the results are better. Other than that, why not invest your...

Thanks for sharing the link!!! LOL now if we all generate multiple copies of that survey we might actually get some results that they need to look at :awesome:

Fair enough, they must have changed the requirements since I got into uni. Previously, there was no application required. But, the did increase the amount from $4000 to $12000. Here's the application form if anyone is interested (due 30th November): http://secure.mq.edu.au/RegForms/view.php?id=66

Don't mean to dampen your spirits - but if they're your last two arts units and all you have left are law units.... ENJOY your arts units. Doing 4 law subjects in a semester = ;_; Imagine the amount of law reading for a unit x 4 every week of the semester :D

Contact hours don't generally indicate the amount of work and effort required for a particular unit. I've heard of someone doing 7 units, but they obviously had to get permission to do it and they did say that they pretty much stayed on campus 7 days a week and had no life other than...

The events will definitely help in your final years, you'll find the contacts and experience very useful towards job/internship hunting. The scholarship also looks good on your resume provided that you have maintained a certain standard in your tertiary education to suggest that you are a...

My thoughts exactly.

If you can, keep your first semester free and just focus on uni - this way you get a good idea of how much hours/effort you need to put into a unit to get what sort of mark at the end. This will give you a better idea of how much work you can take on. As for contact hours - yes, contact hours...

"business administration" often misleads people into thinking that the degree is only relevant for business students. An MBA is actually more focused on general management/administration/governance of an organisation.

There are microwaves near the stairs down to the convenience shop, I think they've just spread the microwaves around campus... I didn't know there was hot water available! Awesome, thanks for letting us know!!

Were you impressed by the number of books and resources or the size and number of seats?

Just wanted to know if anyone has ever had a multiple choice with more choices than A-L?

I've heard from other SIBT students that they really enjoyed SIBT - they liked how it was very structured, lots of "hand-holding" from the teachers, and generally that their units are easier than the uni units. They also have a pretty new building.

Yes, you can still apply for internships after your penultimate year (depending on the actual internship program). You seem to have extensive experience, why would you be choosing an internship program rather than a graduate program?

I'm surprised at how passionate people are about criticising the new library :D

To every student with criticisms of the new library - read the article on pages 16 and 17 of the current edition of Grapeshot. LOL someone should show the article to the people at the library :D

They are units that you pick, for example the FBE200 requires 24 credit points (meaning that you won't be able to do this until your second year of university when you have completed the required 24 credit points). Since you are doing your HSC, don't worry about these units yet, just know that...
