    BUSS1900 waiver test advice?

    Hi mate, If you fail the test, you can't drop it. Did you complete your high school in Australia (Or A levels overseas etc)? Did you get above 60 in English? Can you write a paragraph about random issues? If yes, you passed. The test is only set up to identify and HELP students who can't...

    What will happen to my WAM?

    The units you did at USYD will stay in the database. But, I think if you re-enroll, it might not count. The best thing you could do is actually call the business school and ask. Because your matter is different from usual questions - you plan to transfer back into usyd law I assume? They are...

    BUSS1001-any advice?

    The 'test' is for BUSS1900 - a unit mainly targeted at international students who may struggle with english - and consequently struggle with BUSS1001 (essay based unit - like hsc economics/business studies, expect its cases e.g. KFC in a particular country - you have to analyse their strategy...

    Future prospects for Australian Law students and graduates?

    Yeah, I'm mad bro. Not good enough to get into law, sorry. Those days are gone. Most unis offer bonus points for law (AAA for UNSW - law should be excluded (students can transfer if they can), UTS has up to 10+ EAS points in some cases, UWS let someone from my school get in with like 60 ATAR)...

    A Guide To USYD's Timetables and Enrolment Variation

    If you want to maximise your learning, I suggest 3 days. 2 days may be too much. I had 3 days last sem (mon, wed, thurs) - thursday was 9am - 7.30pm - not very convenient. But if you manage around 9am-3pm etc for the two days - you should be OK. Also, there are other classes like 'PASS' that...

    Future prospects for Australian Law students and graduates?

    I'm assuming by 'you' you don't mean me? I don't think anyone is under the impression that just by going to a top university, your life will be set out for you. Definitely not anyone I know.

    What should i combine Finance with?

    QBUS (stats) is not for everyone (they market it to students that way as well). It goes really well with finance though, particularly if you want to get into trading - apparently it shows you are more analytical etc etc. Do you like maths? If you do, you will love this. Very interesting...

    Future prospects for Australian Law students and graduates?

    Exactly the case. 3 years is way too short. 1st year over, and you need to start worrying about internships because you are already a penultimate year student (even though they take final year students sometimes). This is still for the best. Governments are trying to make further education as...

    Question about GPA/WAM

    Despite your intentions, not a good move man. How are you going to write these on your resume when you apply for jobs? 2012- 2013 B Eco USYD 2013-2014 Arts/Law, MQ 2014-2018 Arts/Law, Usyd? (not srs) But yes, you should have stayed at usyd given it is ONLY the first year, of a 5 year degree...

    Calling on Macquarie and UTS Law and Commerce/Business students to reply :D!

    Yes practical is definitely beneficial. All universities have a good share of both. MQ/UTS market their courses as being more 'practical' (especially for business). Its about finding the right balance which most of these universities already have (or they wouldn't have produced 'successful'...

    Worried! Career

    Interesting degree choice (Space)! Engineering will help your career prospects rather than limit it. So yes, you can get into IB (banks and many many finance/accounting firms sometimes hire pure engineering grads - because well, if you're at the top of your engo cohort at usyd - you are clearly...
