    Commerce/economics... and a language..?

    do not underestimate the job prospects that languages offer. I would do Comm or Eco depending on which you prefer, and then Arts or International Relations and do your language major. You will then have a business background and a language. With companies having ties worldwide, they are always...

    Internal Transfer

    they should let you know by end of year as you would be applying for sem 1 2010. unless you have missed cut off dates. courses you have taken can be credited as part of your electives in your new course, if you are allowed electives in that course. as long as you have decent grades you should be...

    Parking

    ya i could technically bike, however i often go from my work to uni or the other way and it would take too much time to go home again. I just really angry that every year there is less parking and that they can still charge what they do for it. You should not be able to charge for a service you...

    Parking

    this is my rant, how is it that I get to uni between 8;45 and 9:00am and can still struggle to find parking? Since I started uni I have seen about 3 or 4 Permit parking areas totally destroyed or given to staff or reserved parking. How can they even justify asking students to pay anymore?

    Accounting Job Prospects

    ya there are some very good points made here. I am not concerned with having a flash job as soon as I graduate. I think I just want some kind of job security though. Hmm I think I may do it. Let's just hope ANU's program is good. I was thinking of going with UC as it is HECS based, while ANU is...

    Best Finance School For North American International Students

    If you are looking at Australia's best and unis that will actually be seen as prestigious overseas I would go, Australian National Uni, Uni of Melb, Syd Uni or UNSW probably in that order too. That is just my opinion though. It can be hard with Australian unis because overseas nobody has heard...

    Accounting Job Prospects

    ya well i do want to do my CA, i guess what I am afraid of is not getting that sponsor. As it is a masters I feel that I would not be likely to be picked up during my masters to start work experience. So I am afraid of not getting picked up by a firm once I graduate with my Masters. i guess...

    Accounting Job Prospects

    Hey all, I am thinking of doing a Masters of Accounting next year at either ANU or Uni of Canberra. I think I would really enjoy it. The thing that has me worried is that everyone I talk to tells me that there are no jobs in accounting. As I would be doing it over a year and a half it will also...

    Mobile phone went off during final exam

    Ok, if the phone had kept going off then maybe. But the phone went off once. There are more random and distracting things that happen all the time in exams. There is no way that it caused you to lose too many grades. I would be more concerned with the kind of reputation you have now given...
