Info on B Science with B Arts Degree (1 Viewer)

[Road Runner]

hi

I was just browsing through the uac guide and saw this course called
"Bachelor of Science with Bachelor of Arts in Natural and Cultural Heritage and Mueseums".

I read about it and it seemed pretty interesting.

Does Anyone here do this degree? If so:

What is it like?
How difficult is it out of 10? (10 being most difficult).
What major studies do you do?
Any extra info/advice about this degree?

Thanks.​

I'm not doing this course, but I feel that I must butt in and say that the UAC guide descriptions are absolutely shit.

You should read more about it here - http://www.handbook.mq.edu.au/programofstudy.php?edition=2008&code=MST01

and look up the units that are mentioned here - http://www.handbook.mq.edu.au/units.php?edition=2008&level=ug

if you don't get what the requirements mean in the first page, feel free to ask

How difficult is it out of 10? (10 being most difficult).

It's not really possible to "rank" the difficulty of degrees (aside from the obvious - Law has stacks of readings, therefore is high-pressure, therefore could be considered hard). Obviously if it's a subject you don't enjoy and don't have any kind of proficiency in it, it's going to be hard. But even if it requires dedication to study, if you enjoy it then you almost don't mind the work you put in. ("easy?")

Nah, law isn't especially difficult.

Well getting through relatively lots of readings poses difficult for some people.

Road Runner - like ippie suggested, check out what subjects you'll be doing in your degree.

Also check out this page, devoted to the BA BSc course. I've done a lot of the BA courses you'd be looking to do, so I can help you with that side of things, if you need help.

------------------------------------------ -------------------------------------------------
* The thing is though, I don't quite understand some of the terminology here such as 'credit points' and 'coherent studies. =/

Also, Like Ippie says, I don't fully understand what the requirements mean thus I need help. =/

Can anyone make this information easier to read / simpler so that I can really understand what type of subjects this degree offers and what the actual requirements are.

thanks.
