I really do also recommend you find a solid cohort of high achieving peers to work with throughout your degree. I am lucky that I actually went through and completed my degree with Jimmy but if I didn’t have him and a solid group of students to be assigned to group work with I do not think I...

Good summary and wholeheartedly agree with all of your comments! To add weight to Jimmy’s comment surrounding group projects, I only did 16/24 units at WSU and 11 of those units had group work. The weighting for these assignments ranged between 40-60%, placing a large portion of your grade on...

Definitely let me know which classes you end up in for those two! Happy to be a friend also haha. And I definitely do. If you can send me a message on here? I don’t think I can due to my low post count :) I think it’s part of one of our HR units to get LinkedIn up and looking snazzy anyway haha

yes it is this one! It is in the law faculty instead of HR but it seems interesting. Think I need more of a solid reason to drop almost 40k though than”it’s interesting” 😂 *tried to link the link but the site won’t let me ha* My friend is in that EIR class on Thursday! I am on Tuesday 👀 that...

This is wild, I totally have considered a MBA at USYD or the Masters in Labor Law! Haha. Let me know how you like that unit? It sounds interesting! I hope it makes the MBA look “fun”. Was that four days a lot? It definitely sounds challenging. Are you going to try cut it down this semester? I...

Thank you for the response! That makes so much as sense as the BBus at WSU seemed to correlate with their name change as well. Appreciate it (and glad to hear it makes zero difference in the scheme of things!).

Ahh the “corporate” experience will be great regardless, you will be steps ahead of other grads! Yeah I wanted to do 2 online again next semester but that would have made it 3 days of university for me instead of 2 days and I prefer to have 2 so I can have a day off / day to work (I work 2-3...

Congrats on both jobs! What will you be doing at PWC? That will look great when you go for HR jobs after uni to show you can juggle multiple priorities and competing deadlines. I think I am most worried about the video presentation tbh haha that sort of stuff always puts me off. But thanks for...

Yeah, sometimes I hate saying I love university because people are always shocked like everyone should hate university and not enjoy the experience but I really do enjoy it :) I am currently working as a HR Assistant so I am hoping to potentially get a HR Advisor role when I finish uni. It...

Yes I completed a year at my other university which include a Leadership type unit and Law (it was called Business Law and it was absolute hell) so I was really glad I didn’t have to redo them. I got the entire year I had completed so walked into second year here at WSU which was such a relief...

Haha all good. I got credit for PWS, the Law one and Leadership then 5 general electives so I don’t get a second major (unfortunately) I just have to pick 3 electives which I think will be OB, Managing in the Global Environment and Business Society and Policy - purely because they have no exams...

Totally agree with your sentiments around EIR, thankfully I believe I will pass with most likely a distinction (dependant on the group assignment mark). Terri is pretty merciful, but I do enjoy a good unit rating so that will be a nice way to end the unit lol. I am sitting it on 23 June, what...

Omg so cool! I’m so glad I have found someone in one of my classes or who understands the ones I have done. I don’t mind EIR but it is very poorly run. That almost 5 week period to return the essays was a joke, modules are uploaded late. I think it would have been fine if it was better run as...

Thanks so much! I also agree that WSU is fantastic for HR, my tutors are top notch and compared to the other 3 unis I have experienced, WSU is miles ahead. I didn’t think there was much difference, so thanks for confirming. I just wasn’t sure if there was one that was looked at more favourably...

Hello Long story short I was studying a Bachelor of Business online but transferred to a local uni in Perth (Curtin) so I could undertake a Commerce degree (majoring in Human Resources and Industrial Relations) which was my ideal degree and the fact that I wanted to do a Commerce degree over...
