Actually, with few exceptions, Asian Studies units are taught in English, so language barriers still play a part when an International Student has to present on their 'own culture' and 'own history' in English for instance. It's actually a little disheartening to watch actually. That said...

In short, no, there'll be many, many others in the same boat.

Going back to the original question, yes, do both, especially in first year when you have the opportunity to, and this is what you seem to be doing, or want to anyway. Hopefully this doesn't confuse you, but simply put, you'll learn the rules, formulas and laws of so-called "pure economics" in...

Really? I was under the impression that only International Studies students could do that, since the person asking is doing Media Comm. Please note: All units of study marked with * will NOT be offered for 2008 enrolments. Please note: Student NOT enrolled in the Bachelor of...

Oh if you are even remotely interested in Southeast Asia &/or learning about what happened during the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis you must do southeast asia dilemmas of development - you'll learn heaps that'll be incredibly useful to know. This is actually one of the units from the former...

After you graduate from a B.A or B. Econ Soc Sci or whatever, you can do a Grad. Certificate (6 months) or Diploma (1 year) or Masters (1.5 years) in Journalism at UTS, which seems to include the same "professional" units studied in the 3 yr Undergrad Journalism course. Alternatively, you could...

Since you're already doing ECOP in semester 1, you may as well do ECOP1002 in semester 2 as well so you can go on to do senior units if you so wish. Also, there's not much point in you doing ECOP1003 since 1) You cannot substitute it for ECOP1002 if you want to do senior units 2) It's not worth...

I nearly transferred ANU to do Combined Law there (or I wanted to anyway, they have superior departments in Asian Studies, Politics & International Relations, being Canberra and all, don't know about Economics though, but Sydney's Economics Faculty can be a bit too mercenary at times). I didn't...

By all means major in Government if you plan to and want to. As many on these boards have reassured first year GOVT students, don't despair, the best is yet to come. That said, it may be the only thing you end up being able to major in - you might be too mathematically inept for economics, too...

Random tip: Do two junior GOVT units in the first semester to get started on senior units straight away in semester 2. You'll wanna get junior GOVT out of the away asap, believe us... Edit: Doesn't matter which ones you do, they're all mostly awful, but some of the worse ones are World Politics...

Re: Subject Reviews - UPDATED WITH .PDF on first post ASNS2663 Social Activism in Southeast Asia Ease: 8.5/10 No final exam in the block, but a small in-class test, 1 hour, 4 questions, a cinch. Readings were heavy, but they were also very generous with tute participation marks. Essay...

I felt the same way about GOVT, but found the two senior government units I did this year to be two of my best subjects for 2008. But yeah, just as others said last year, govt really does improve after first year (albeit from a really low base).

You can transfer after your first year through the UAC. I imagine you wouldn't have to 'repeat anything' (i.e. you'd still be able to graduate in 3 years for the normal pass degree), you should be able to get credit for all your first year units.

only difference it would make is if you want employers to see that you've studied some sort of 'economics' in your degree, and you think it'll be advantage. Generally, it will be, but you can still study political economy in B. Soc. Sci, maybe economics too, not sure if it has enough room for...

Eww no. Honi should've been returned to the arts students ie mojo. Alice Workman over anyone at ink anyday.

Of course. Crisis over. That rules out Melbourne then, not that it matters. Edit: not that it matters that much. Actually, whilst we're still on the matter, despite being (post)grad, there will still be CSPs available in the Melbourne JD But thank god that this is still the case, it had me...

You've got me worried here about about Grad Law no longer being covered by HECS, but as far as I am aware, CSP places are offered for Grad Law - one can avail of HECS for 7 years of full-time study, and even then, Grad Law can still be included as part of this. Also, Grad Law is still techically...

Yeah world politics became even more useless in hindsight as the whole course was better taught and revised by John Mikler in the first few weeks of GOVT2221 Politics of Economic Rels. Also, I don't like how certain departments are/were constantly shafted by the Eco. Bus Faculty, but I don't...

Go to the timetable unit, type in 'GOVT' for sem 1/sem 2, 2008, and it'll give you an idea of what units are available, that's how i've been looking them (and ECOP) up in the meantime.
