I'm excited to start uni so I can advance my knowledge in maths, physics and experience what engineering is!!! Despite taking the train up to the city on a 40 degree day to do enrolment that takes about an hour or less and having to use the student portal (any melbourne uni student will know...

Force and motion is boring!!! Well I must say that centripetal forces were interesting, but I loved light, radiation and magnetism. My favourite part of VCE physics was our introduction into the quantum world. Learning that massless particles had momentum; light can behave as a particle or a...

Hello, At the moment I'm considering going down the engineering or physicist career pathway. I know that engineers do get a higher graduate salary than physicists, but at the same time I love studying physics. The only thing is that a lot of people say that becoming any form of scientist...

Hello, I completed my bachelor of science enrolment yesterday. I chose to do advanced physics 1 & 2, Calculus 2, Linear Algebra, Engineering systems design 1 and 2, From Graffiti to Terrorism and Introduction to Climate Change. Chemistry in VCE was a subject that really interested me but I had...

I don't get that! You went into the bachelor of engineering whilst hating physics! I thought that engineering has a lot of physics in it? Is that true that physics principles are applied to real life situations in engineering?

I enjoy having alcoholic drinks in small amounts. I don't enjoy beer or wine (I'm more the "alco-pop" style drinks person). With uni starting (Reading first year blogs), I'm learning just how the students see over indulging in the bitter beer as fitting in the general social faction! Also there...

Definately going into a graduate degree!!! I'm considering going into the MEng degree (I would have liked to have gone into chemical engineering but I can't give up physics - I love physics), I would also like to get an honours degree in maths or physics and become a university academic in...

At the moment I have chosen introduction to climate change and I'm deciding whether I should do from graffiti to terrorism or Finance 1. When I studied french at school (compulsory from year 7 - 9) I was so happy to have given up a language. A language is the last thing I want to study!!!

I envy you!!!

Hi Everyone, I was accepted into my first preference (Bachelor of Science) and subject wise everything is ok. I'm going to do Physics 1 and Physics 2 (Physical Science and Technology) - Going to try and get into advanced physics, Calculus 2 and Linear Algebra, then I'm deciding whether to do...

Hi guys, I'm doing a bachelor of science degree at the university of melbourne. This was my first preference, so I was stoked when I got this. Congratulations to all people who got into their preference and you guys who are going to Melbourne University I hope to see you there.

hsc=suicide, What are you majoring in with your BSc degree?

To really get any descent work I'll have to do a masters or a PhD. Science and engineering are where I'm wanting to go

Thanks, finally someone is actually speaking logic. Apart from the "eager minds of tomorrow", I'm hoping for 80-100% or first class honours. I was competitive in senior school and I will be competitive at uni. Job prospects and time investment are very important variables to me!!!

why do you need a car to do uni? With taking a gap year my advice depends on what kind of person you are; did year 12 seem like a tiring never ending bummer? OR did year 12 seem like an enjoyable year that you enjoyed overall and something you tried your best in? The thing is whether you feel...

I'm guessing you are wanting to do Biomedicine! You can always ask the university what HSC chemistry score converts to in a VCE chemistry score. What did you get for chemistry? A 35 is awarded to the top 26% of the state and a 25 is awarded to basically 80% of the state. I don't know how your...

No offence but I hate speech pathologists!!!:evilfire: When I was seven I was forced to spend 1 hour per week going ttttttt (pronouncing the t sound) and the program did absolutely nothing for me! Please consider something other than such a boring career as that.

Also with Australia wanting to install desalination plants; engineers would definately be on demand there. If we make nuclear power plants in 10 years time engineers would be on demand here, removing water content of coal to improve energy yield in an economic way is another engineering demand...

In senior school I had 1 folder per subject with separating tags for each unit. I am a neat freak when it comes to study notes and I must say in times of exams I would be able to start studying without the hassle of organising notes. I guess I'll probably stay the same. My plan of attack would...

Thanks for your response. I don't care how long you make a post if its relevant it is like finding gold. I'm considering studying criminology as a breadth subject and the ethics of the human genome project looks very interesting. I would love to study genetics at uni and chemistry aswell but I'm...
