    Does anyone think that the Bachelor of Philosophy degree is worth it???

    The ANU one is really really really good, I don't know much about the UWA one but at ANU the admin and professors treat you like royalty. As far as employment goes, PhB is really meant for eventually going and doing a PhD. However some places (I know google is one) understand what it is and...

    LLM at ANU or USYD?

    ANU definitely. Canberra is Australia's diplomatic and political sector, and ANU professors work tightly with the government as well as with overseas institutions. Combine that with the fact that their School of Politics, International Relations and School and School of Law are arguably their...

    First calculate the unit price of each product for each year. Then add them up for each year so you have 1 value for each year. Then compare the eachs years value to each other [ie: (year2/year 1) * 100.]

    Investment Banking

    You do realise that Investment Banking is a temporary (2 years basically) job for most of its graduates (which all take analyst roles after completing an undergraduate degree, associate for post grad)? Most people use it as a launch pad for Hedge Funds and Private equity (No necessarily in Aus...

    Workshop (19th of March): Writing an effective cover letter and resume

    I went to a similar event run by Trebla last year, I really recommend it. It really buffed up and changed how I view and write my CV.

    Best Place to study Actuarial Science?

    Firstly, It doesn't matter where you go to study actuarial science because of the standards held by the Institute of Actuaries of Australia. If you are keen on moving out I'd go for ANU just because the living costs would be less compared to the unis in Sydney. As far as lecturers go I can't...

    SMH article: offers below cutoff

    Deregulation is a 'right wing' policy because people who see it on the 'left side' of politics believe that it introduces barriers to people of a lower socioeconomic status in the form of uni fees thus reducing class mobility. Personally, I think that thanks to the low interest loan that is...

    SMH article: offers below cutoff

    Agreed, I have not covered that at all which makes a huge difference however, people and the heads of the G08 want and advertise Australian unis to be 'World class' yet with the current funding model how will they be able to do that.

    SMH article: offers below cutoff

    While the article is not really grounded in reason, it brings up the issue of rising attendance at universities, the actual value of a degree and the cost of funding universities. Today about 1 in 2 students go to university which compared with the baby boomers (1/10), gen x (1/4) and gen y...
