just uni :S (1 Viewer)

[Fido]

i am shamefully uninformed about uni in general. can anyone give me a quick summary of everything-you-need-to-know-about-uni? all i know is that i want to do psychology, but how do the courses work? you have to do supplementary subjects as well, right? with psych as the major? and what's the deal with arts as opposed to anything else and... ahhh *head explodes*
help!

It depends... go to the www.usyd.edu.au website and search up Psychology, and read the course outline, some courses actually have all the subjects pre-selected for you, and some have compulsory subjects and free electives for you to choose.

 

[santaslayer]

arts?....do u mean arts (psychology)? or arts in general?
arts (psychology) wont give u licensing.....

arts in general allowes u to do a range of courses i guess......

 

[freaking_out]

don't worry abt. being too ignorant- i didn't know what subjects to choose until the day of enrolment.

but yeah, basically just get the damn uai needed to get into your course- and all shall b fine.

Enrolment day certainly was quite crap. I thought it would be a pretty fast process.. oh man, was I wrong.

hrmm the course stuff for me wasnt long...the standing in line waiting for for hecs and crads was ok..but i had my parents..who nabbed me places in lines while i was doin other stuff..so it took all up about 2 and ahlf hours for me...heheh

on topic, this is what that careers and courses day is about..u learn stuff bout the degrees your interested in, like em i originally was gonna do art/eduaction, then i found out i couldnt take all the courses i wanted to do..so im doin arts and will take post grad masters of etaching...ull learn stuff and its a good experience..mmm free breakfast!

Selecting subjects, too many questions, the slow system employed by the Science faculty (surname to surname along with specialised degrees at a certain time, but with so many students it's the only way)... All of that was back in 2002 for me, though. It may have changed.

I was there for... 3 hours, 2 of which were spent selecting subjects (and running between the Chemistry building and McLaurin Hall). I kind of pushed in at the initial stage, though, which was great.

 

[Generator]

I knew my core subjects, but I did not know what else to select (BSc, BA). I thought that I was going to be there for some time, too, so i was there at 9 to avoid any problems with the lunch break. The three hours did not bother me at all with it basically setting the stage for the next five years of my life.

Which is still bad. I originally anticipated something along the lines of 10 - 30 minutes.

yeah, i guess if they automated all the enrolment stuff- then we won't have to stand in line for that long!
