I was thinking in enrolling in a unit for winter school, but I've looked at the page of units available during the Winter vacation period and there seems to be the types of units like language residential units or PACE type units or internships. I'm a first year and I was hoping there would...

Law firms do look favourably upon candidates who speak more than one language but it depends on relevance to that company. Like if you are required to negotiate with a Korean law firm or clients, knowing fluent korean would be advantageous. Same with Chinese. Languages useful in contemporary...

hi all, I just wanted some advice on choosing subjects for session 2. For my major I can choose between Thinking Politically and The World Since 1945: An Australian perspective. I've looked at the unit guides and exam papers, but am still unsure which one to pick. Thinking politically...

I just got back my midsession assessment worth 25% weighting and I was pretty disappointed as I got 68% or 17/ 25. I spent a lot of time on it also because I really want a distinction. The marker didn't provide any feedback either, so I've emailed my tutor about it, but i just wanted some tips...

I'm asking for a friend who is considering studying a Masters degree in law and specialising in criminology, international law or human rightrs law. She is considering the University of Sydney, not only because it appears to have a rigorous law program but it is also close to her workplace...

i'm at Macquarie

Consider Macquarie Uni, UoW etc. they take quite a few students below the cut-off

I've heard there are law study guides that help summarise important information in a law unit e.g. contracts, admin law etc. which are useful for studying, especially when consolidating information from readings. I just wanted to know where these kinds of study guides can be found or bought...

I think Macquarie has this thing called the Merit List or Merit Scholars Program thing for students who perform well in their studies. I got onto this list due to my HSC ATAR, however they are changing the rules next year. In 2017 they state the student needs to get a 4.0GPA to continue being in...

Hi, thanks alphabetafeta96 for your positive input and advice. Just wondering, did you have a science/ biology background prior to this subject and do you think that if I haven't done any sciences before for hsc it will be disadvantageous. Because while the course is designed for students who...

Hi, I'm a Macquarie student and at our uni we are required to take People and planet units which are subjects in a different faculty to our degree or area. I decided to choose human biology as it sounded like an interesting unit and it stated it was designed for students without any background...

I have been coaching two high school students in English at a coaching college one to one. One student is in year 8 so I usually photocopy chapters/ lessons from English workbooks/ textbooks like excel etc. and we do the lesson together whether its reading comprehension, text types and I help...

I was told to go on the mac uni library database to search for exam papers, but when I typed in keywords in the search such as "law" or "human biology", no results came up so I'm unsure if this is the correct place to go.

I was thinking of buying some quality notes/ second hand books etc. for my law or arts units but I'm unsure when I will be told the particular books I need. Also, if I am studying the unit foundations of law, which is effectively taught in other unis such as uts, usyd etc. does it matter if I...
