hey everyone i'm year 12 at Macarthur Anglican School i'm interested in doing a combined arts/law degree so if anyone who does it and would like to inform me that would be great! i'm not really sure how the whole combining thing works and what UAI you need, any info would be appreciated thanx!

probably be a 92-93ish this year...

i know about the law side if u have any questions...
but Ms12/ suz & co. could fill u in Re the arts side?

Yeah I think with the changes to HECS it will be at least 92, but no higher than 93 I think.
Law is pretty good if its your thing, I love it but I know some people are totally bored cos its really not their thing.
Arts is ok, I do politics and history and was doing soc up until last week (sociology sucks--DON'T DO IT, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!)
Arts at Wollongong is a pretty relaxed faculty. Im changing from Arts to Commerce next semester cos I find it hard to do arts subjects knowing that they have zero relevance to my career, but I know some ppl love it for that exact reason.
My advice is to go to the open day, read up on the course and subjects, compare with other unis and then make your decision.

hey like Ms 12 I do arts/law and absolutely LOVE IT
Sometimes I get a bit bored with law lolz but it is good, I don't hate it as others do
Arts is fantastic. i knew I wouldn't like commerce which is why I chose arts
Like ms 12 said it is extremely flexible
I too do politics and history as well as Italian
I'm loving all aspects of my arts part except a particular lecture *hint hint*
The good thing about the arts is I can use italian and go to uni overseas or take international studies as a minor which is what I want
I really recommend it, especially at Wollongong its great
If you have any specific questions I will be happy to answer

I agree at the moment I really like my degree, and suprisingly I'm enjoying the law side. I do Politics, History and Australian studies and although like Ms 12 said they will probably have no relevance to my career it gives me a break from law, and can give u extra qualifications like Suz said, and you will walk out with 2 degrees by the time u finsihed (even though thats 5 years). Lol I'm glad I didn't do sociology, I signed up for it but withdrew at the last minute. U have to have 18 credit points for Arts and 10* I think credit points for law, so u have 3 arts subjects and 2 law subjects.
