Oh. Well that's easily fixed; I've done 12 junior science credit points already, so I'll do PSYC1001 sometime in the future and do PSYC1002 in Summer School after I've finished all the maths units I want to complete. That way I wouldn't have completed all the requirements for my degree until...

Oh there's plenty of job opportunities for statistics graduates, don't worry about that. But even if there wasn't, that's not something you should be concerned with right now. You're in university to learn, not to get a job. Enjoy it while you can, and worry about getting a job after you...

Ah OK, that's understandable. I haven't done too many units in the hard sciences because I try to avoid practicals as much as possible, but I'd be more than happy to teach the theory to myself. One area I've been thinking I might go into at the moment is financial maths; just started thinking it...

That's a maximum for junior units though? Not senior? And yeah you don't have a lot of choice for first semester intermediate math/stat units haha.

Is there really that much biology/physics knowledge assumed for some of those applied units? I assumed they would teach you the relevant stuff you needed to know during the lectures. And yeah I think from memory Realise is doing MATH2988 this semester.

http://honisoit.com/2014/10/students-rally-as-uni-suspends-spurr/ Ugh, the USYD professional protesters had an excuse to cause more unintelligible racket today. Oh well....... Shame about Spurr, he is an outstanding academic, but you aren't going to get far in this day and age if you openly...

I've heard quite a few people say that actually haha. I enjoy statistics myself so I'll probably be doing one stat unit each semester to count towards a second major. How about MATH3066? It would serve as an introduction to some of the pure mathematics concepts you would learn later on...

Good luck with getting into Honours :). You're finishing this year then? Yep that's what I'll be doing too, along with STAT2911. :)

Cool :). You'll probably be in most if not all of my classes for the next few years then haha. USYD don't offer a coursework Masters degree for Mathematics, but I do want to do Honours if I can, so that adds another year on haha. Just want to do as many undergraduate units as I can and learn...

Yes well, any excuse to avoid the workforce for as long as possible and have fun doing it haha. Don't believe there is; there are minimum requirements but I don't think there's a maximum.

I could finish up a year earlier than I want to, but if I stay an extra year I can complete pretty much every senior unit the Mathematics department offers. May end up changing my mind about that but that's the plan at the moment haha. Normally with my degree you'd be in university for 3 years...

It's better than accruing interest haha. I guess I am slightly concerned. Especially since I've messed around with transfers so much that I'm finishing undergraduate studies two years later then what I should have. But even then, if I stick to the study plan I have set out for this degree (and...

I wasn't aware there was a loan fee. Still, it's not that much extra in the scheme of things. I don't know, I've never really paid much attention to my surmounting debt. I'm not rich by any means, but having deferred all my payments I just kind of feel like it's so far off in the future that I...

You can defer the payments under FEE-HELP if you want to.

Sent in my application to do MATH1001 and MATH1002 at Summer School. Anyone else want to do it with me? :)

I don't think you can really "transfer" into a Masters of Physiotherapy, seeing as it is a postgraduate degree. You will have to complete your Bachelor's degree and then apply afresh. UWS used to have a Masters of Physiotherapy program that you could access at an undergraduate level, by doing...

Ah OK, well in that case I would aim for the Psychology degree if you can. You'll have enough space to pursue study in a nutrition related area for your undergraduate degree, and if you end up changing your mind about psychology, it is a lot easier to transfer down to a science degree than to...

Don't choose a degree based on potential job prospects. The whole reason you go to university is to learn. Do something you love, be good at what you do, and there will be some job for you in the future, but that's not something you should be concerning yourself with now. So if you are...

Mathematics and Statistics, which is what I'll be majoring in :). History & Philosophy of Science is all theory as well.

Not being sarcastic, but in hindsight what I said does read back that way haha. Only thing I haven't liked so far are the practicals, but I'm a physical dyslexic so it shouldn't be a problem for you normal people :p.
