It depends on your university, majors and your supervisor.

Generally you can do 1 major and 1 minor or 2 majors. Check with your university.

Yes but you have plenty of electives left over after 1 major in chemistry or biochem, then use all those electives for your other specialisation.
Really, your majors are not even shown on the UNSW Testamur. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Yes, but sometimes, it is hard...Survivor39 said:
Like for biochemistry major, in session 1 third yr, u need to do at least two biochem courses, but all chem third yr's core courses r also in s1...so u must choose one major from them...(UNSW)
In the second year, u can definetly do both major's courses...

Aren't there any CHEM courses in S2 you can do, in addition with S1 courses to form a Chem "major"?
I'm sure you can start doing 3rd year chem courses in your second year given what you have been able to achieve in first year Chem subjects. I know someone who did 2 CHEM3XXX subjects in his second year (He also topped Higher Chemistry).

From the information I got from Dr.Jason Harper...in the session 2, for advanced science I need to do at leat two research courses (CHEM3101 and CHEM3201) in session 2...no chem coursework courses in session 2...Survivor39 said:
Yes, people can do CHEM3**** in stage 2..
I did chem2**** in stage 1 and got HD...But I thought it would be too hard for me...probably I am not that smart...

I'm sure you will be fine doing 3rd year Chem in 2nd year.
That same guy I mentioned also did 2nd year Chem in first year and got a HD. If he can do 3rd year Chem in 2nd year, so can you.

Thanks for ur encourage.Survivor39 said:
I have already decided to major in biochem, and really have no extra space to do too many chem courses after I got the chance to do a research project courses (BABS3306 or sth...) in stage 2...And probably we will have the same supervisor then.

Not BABS3301, it is BABS3306...3301 is for third yr...Survivor39 said:
I got two suggestions, Pro.Brettt Neilan and Pro.Marc Wililins...Marc's research seems focus on bioinformation and protein....seems very hard but interesting~

Oh, there is a 3306 now?!!!! Seriously!
Brett is fantastic - highly recommended. But his research group is huge, consisting of 20 researchers. Not sure if you like big labs or not - other than that he is very supportive and gives very good career advice. Marc's lab is small but like you said mostly bioinformatics - his lab is very new though.

yep, I heard only very few positions offered per yr (around 2?) and u can't find on handbook for this course?Survivor39 said:
Wooo....a research group has 20 researchers...seems so crazy...and his research is about blue-green algae or water enironment sth...I am not that interested in it...I am more interetsted in molercular or protein or genetic stuff...
Anyway, I have no lab experience so far...probably I will enjoy big labs' work...
