hey i was just wondering if u want to transfer from one course to another and ur doing a combined course---do u get some sort of scaling or preference since u have more work load compared to someone doing a single course

combine courses haev exactly the same workload other courses.
It's how well you do.. no one cares if you overloaded

combined degrees just take longer to complete as the pace of work is usually the same as general degrees. its just that extra yrs may be required to fulfill the requirements for the core courses for the two degrees.

so if ur thinking of transfer next year, its better to do single course?

If you're thinking of transferring part way through it wouldn't matter.

If you want to do a graduate course, like graduate law then a single degree will be quicker.

I thought if u do combined degree u will have to attend more lectures per week comparted to person who does single degree to get same amount of work done, hence u have more work to complete and thus harder the transfer cos u might not get well marks (again cos of workload) as you might have having done a single course

Well...

(In my own words) The only part of a combined degree programme that is more demanding than a single degree is the fact that you will be at uni for another year or two... Your semesterly workload is no different to that of a student taking a single degree. Also...

Well in a single degree you have a number of electives. In a combined degree this aren't available and are replaced with subjects from your other degree. Plus there is also a number of stream subjects which if you do the single degree you must take, but in the grand scheme of things aren't so viatle that you wouldn't be competent without them.

this is a fallacy . Combined degrees take longer to complete as they are extended to account for the core subjects required for both degrees. Furthermore, the choice of subjects as electives is just as flexible as in a general degree. It's just that the timing of those subjects needs to be carefully planned out as there may be class clashes, especially if the 2 faculties are not in cooperation. You can choose to overload (ie, do in excess of the required units per session) as long as you have demonstrated strong aptitude at your studies. However, they are usually subject to approval by the School and may only be allowed during later yrs in accordance with university policy.

aaahhh , thx everyone you've made my day

 

[theone123]

can u do this, like is all universitys have easy methods of dropping from a combined degree to a single degree?

There's very little that's common to "all universities", you need to ask the universities you're specifically interested in.
