If you are looking at Psychology, they have very structured programs which are necessary for accreditation - which degrees are you looking at? The B Arts with the major in Pscyh or the B Science with Psych or the Honours program? And, totally agree with Asylum - get some academic advice if you...

The units you are referring to are FBE200 and FBE300, both of these are participation units (this is a requirement for all degrees at Macquarie). To enrol in either of them, you will need to apply directly to BESS (Business and Economics Student Services) by the specified deadline. Each of these...

Generally it is busy in the beginning of the start of semester and towards the end (i.e. assessments and exams time). So the first few and last few weeks are usually the busiest. In terms of in a day; non-peak will be 8am to about 11am, and about 4pm till 10pm. There are also after hours reading...

There is a queer space for the LGBT community as well as anyone else. But I didn't think they have a microwave... somehow I suspect it was an attempt at a joke?

Combined law programs are more structured than the single degree meaning that you will have less "electives" to play around with. However, even though your program specifies a certain amount of credit points required to be awarded the Arts/Law - you have the option of doing additional majors...

They don't mention it very often, but a minor is half of the credit points of a major - i.e. 12 credit points. (http://www.handbook.mq.edu.au/2011/Majors/UGMajors)

If you go to this link and click on the different units at different levels and look under "prerequisites" and match the codes back with this list, you should be able to answer your question: http://api.prod.handbook.mq.edu.au/UnitPrefixes/HTML/2012/JPS/9f9ef28dea630ae6311cc730207b2b59 E.g. if...

Summer School is now called Session 3, you can find a list of units offered here: http://www.coe.mq.edu.au/session3_units.html The list has grown, and there are certain units that will generally be offered so you can plan ahead by enrolling in units that are unlikely to be offered and leave...

Macquarie law has opened our minds, intellectually challenged us and we will all leave as competent graduates.

As much as we like to complain, the library isn't completely noisy, there are quiet areas where there are less students or just people who want to study (you will find these just with a bit of common sense - i.e. sit away from open spaces, doorways, stairs etc and you should get a quiet spot)...

When you enrol, you will receive academic advice - you just have to make sure you ask them what units you need to pick in order to qualify for the CPA and they should be able to give you the list of relevant subjects. So, yes, essentially you can build your B Commerce with major in Accounting to...

Depends on what you would consider a decent job or in fact, what career path you are interested in? I have yet to hear of one CPA/CA complain that their training and certification was useless. If you are referring to getting a job immediately after or during university studies - there are many...

Even though I'm not an audiology student, I like looking at all the new buildings springing up around campus :)

That's a great combination actually, the commerce has quite a few majors to choose from and if you are considering going on exchange, you could do related units on the arts side. LOL the amount of choice between those degrees is awesome, you can pretty much customise it to whatever you like.

You might get a better answer if you contacted the university directly or the faculty of science (there isn't that much activity in this section of the BoS)

Which major are you considering? The B Comm at Macquarie has a lot of options for majors, resources and support for students is great and the best bit is doing an internship with academic credit which really helps with finding a job after uni. There are lots of active student societies on...

Wouldn't mind if they got more books, more journal subscriptions, etc but then again, as students, we always want more. The renovations and new buildings are pretty exciting though :)

Only way to cheer up this thread, the topic of Macquarie law always comes up and seems to always be filled with grouchy students with their doom and gloom forecasts... what better than a lake to cheer us up? Did you know there are ducks there too!

As in the university isn't telling you?
