nah, might do it next yr, but i can't really take 4 more years of uni, i've already done 3 1/2, with another 1 1/2 to go

I have friends doing physics honours and apparently the physics staff there work hard through incentive schemes to ensure that a lot of students end up doing Phd's.

That's usually only the case for people who have atleast an honours in science or a double degree in say science/commerce or science/engineering. Top investment banks like JP Morgan or Macquarie Bank won't hire u unless u have a well-rounded academic background and that includes a double degree...

If you do science you'll get your marks back next week. Traditionally, chem marks get released next monday and maths marks next wed/thursday and physics on wed. If you do commerce, you'll get most of your marks back next week from around next tuesday-thursday.

Applied maths is the best major of them all along with financial maths. It gives you solid analytical skills that are useful to any job, and it's well respected cause not many people can stick it out for 3 years doing hardcore maths. Chemistry is also a good major to get if u are that way...

Traditionally, science results are always released from 10th July (next monday) to 15th July

Workload wise, sci(adv)/'comm is very heavy in the first 3 years, but once u knock over science, ur hours per week literally halve as you are just finishing off comm, and it's a walk in the park. You've just got to be efficient in the way that u study in the course. Generally most ppl who do...

lol, I aint that old........only 20 :), i don't usually post much on these forums these days, but i make a comment every now and then, i thought this was an interesting topic :)

yeh its the other way around. Pretty sure that paper 2 is worth 60% and paper 1 is woth 40%

I know what ur saying but if overqualification were such a big problem then ppl with phd's or doctorates would be unemployed, which is hardly the case. Even if u were overqualified there's nothing to say u can't take a 'lower job' . U would also have a greater competitive advantage. At school u...

I plan to work in the financial/stockbroking/investment/superanuation area with firms like macquarie bank or the RBA. From what I've heard from friends applying to these places like macquarie bank, u really need to have an honours or masters degree to get noticed and have a chance. Atm i've...

Yeah the "overqualification" aspect was something i was a little concerned about, and the problem of not having enough practical work experience to work in a job u are qualified for by transcript. At the end of this year I get a B science(adv maths) and am trying to weigh up whether to...

Hey guys, just interested to to see what ppl's opinions are on a commerce masters by coursework versus a commerce bachelor's degree. The only disadvantage of a masters i can think of is the cost which is around 20K over 1 and a half years if u manage to get some subject exemptions. Apart from...

haha no u don't, u don't have to go to the lectures :) i had him last year for micro and found him to be the worst lecturer, he seriously can't teach.
