    Eligibility for Summer Research Scholarship

    Sydney Medical School offers a range of Summer Research Scholarships in various disciplines, including immunology. I did one in physiology after finishing first year. This summer a lot of first year friends of mine are doing summer research projects. You should have no problem applying.

    HELP- B Advanced Maths ( Financial Mathematics + Statistics) - HELP

    I have to point out that the rule about at least 24cp of junior units from at least 2 areas other than maths & stats is very very flexible. There are only 15 cp of junior maths units available anyway so you will inevitably take at least 24cp of junior units from other areas of science. You...

    Question about Macbook for Bsc

    As MongMan pointed out, there is Microsoft Office for Macs. I recently bought a MacBook Pro and I'm dual booting Windows 7 for gaming. BootCamp should be perfectly fine if you install it properly. If you know that you are primarily going to be using software that may not be supported or...

    Tutorial times

    http://web.timetable.usyd.edu.au/ has the current proposed timetable for all units of study. Is that where you looked? All the centrally timetabled lectures, tutes, labs, etc. should be there.

    HELP- B Advanced Maths ( Financial Mathematics + Statistics) - HELP

    Sorry, my bad - 48cp from a different faculty if you're doing a single science degree. The 96cp required to complete your science degree is divided into 12cp of junior maths & stats at least 24cp of junior units from at least 2 areas other than maths & stats 60cp of intermediate/senior...

    Value of IT minor?

    This is an evaluation survey that I filled out about INFO1903 a few months ago, if it helps:

    HELP- B Advanced Maths ( Financial Mathematics + Statistics) - HELP

    You can do up to 48cp from a different faculty - almost anything from Arts, Economics & Business and Engineering.

    Value of IT minor?

    That sounds great! In 2nd year I did INFO2810 Database Systems 1 (Adv) and COMP2907 Algorithms (Adv) and they were both very interesting courses. By the way, which first year subjects are you doing? INFO1903 Informatics (Adv) is the most interesting, well-taught and useful subject that I've...

    computational science

    All the computers in the labs run Red Hat Enterprise Edition, which is a Linux OS. So compared to Windows, it will actually be a lot easier if you run Mac OS X, which is also Linux/Unix based - especially for the C course because you can compile everything from the terminal and you will just...

    MBBS at UNSW Vs. MBBS at USYD

    If that's the case, then I think it sounds a lot fairer. But still, only restricting the number of Scientias within the Faculty of Medicine just sounds like them trying to get out of rewarding high achieving students who deserve a scholarship.

    Bsc Adv help.

    Same here. I've overloaded every semester with all advanced/SSP units. The most I've done is 33cp. It's definitely doable. And I know a lot of other people who've done the same. So if you satisfy the prerequisite for advanced units of study, there's no reason why you shouldn't do them. You...

    Talented Students Program

    LOL. Yeah, that "person who has done it" would be me. In '07 I received an invitation to the program and the TSP function on Info Day very soon after HSC/UAI results came out. And since I worked for Marketing & Student Recruitment on Info Day this year, I know for a fact there was a TSP...

    MBBS at UNSW Vs. MBBS at USYD

    The only thing that I can complain about the Combined Medicine Program is that it should really be called Provisional Entry Medicine Program, in the sense that as you spend the first 3 years completing a B Sc (Adv) or whatever, with guaranteed entry into the graduate MBBS program in your 4th...

    MBBS at UNSW Vs. MBBS at USYD

    @Jackie.bored: I spoke to Prof Rakesh Kumar at the High Achiever's event in '07 and asked about the "limited Scientia scholarship for students enrolling into medicine", and was told that it was based on socio-economic disadvantages. Maybe things have changed if it's indeed highest combined...

    Value of IT minor?

    If you're interested in taking some IT subjects but not interested enough in a major, then a minor is definitely the way to go. You may in fact discover that you really enjoy it and decide to go with a major, like I did. IT is the only area (that I can think of) which offers a minor because...

    MBBS at UNSW Vs. MBBS at USYD

    Keep in mind that the Scientia is only offered to 2 students in the Faculty of Medicine, at the Dean's discretion based on socio-economic considerations. Back to the original question, I had to make the exact decision two years ago and I chose the Combined Medicine Program at USyd for a...

    BPsych - Science stream

    Yes, you can certainly have a career related to your other major. But if you're not entirely certain whether you want a career in psychology, why not just do B Sc or B Sc (Adv) and try psychology in your 1st/2nd year and see if you want to major in it or not? In B Sc (Adv), you can choose any...

    Science & science/x combined questions

    Looking at the recommended course plan again, it certainly looks like you have enough "senior commerce electives" to use for a second commerce major. If you're not interested in commerce enough to spend an extra two years for a combined degree, then you can just do a straight B Sc (Adv) and...

    Can normal BSc students pick all advanced units of study?

    The included honours year really isn't as incredible a bonus as it might sound. You can very easily apply to do honours after B Sc (Adv) at USyd with a credit average, which you need to maintain as part of the degree requirement for B Sc (Adv) anyway.

    Science & science/x combined questions

    UNSW doesn't have a graduate medicine program. You might be thinking about the graduate entry stream into its undergraduate MBBS program that is only available to the top 15 B Medical Science students. Regardless, if you decide to try for a graduate medicine program at a university which...
