Yes. In 1st and 2nd year at UNSW they are trying to cover all possible areas of psychology to give students the chance to explore different areas of study. In 3rd year you will find that each speciality is taught in individual courses. For example, Social Psychology has its own course called...

Do MedSc if you wish to work in hospitals for specimens preparation, diagnostic testing and analysis. You may also become a research assistant in labs from universities or research institutes. Some of my friends have became technical staff (which answers technical enquires from scienctists) with...

In 3052, you need to do two subjects during your Honours year (plus a research component), whereas in Adv science (Biotech) Honours you only do research, plus the optional to choose to do a subject or an essay. Both lead to a science degree specialised in biotechnology. There is no difference...

Unfortunately no one did spectacularly well in the final exam - a relatively large proportion of students failed this year so they may have already scaled up the marks. From what I understand, only a few scored a HD in the short answer questions with the highest mark being in the 80s. I am not...

Yes most definitely. I wasn't trying to mislead people by saying that you need X mark to get Y Class. I was just giving a general guide to the award of Honours since "shoxgeneration" asked the question. There was no way I could have given information for every degree as to how Honours is...

Yeah you are right. In some majors you can literally get 100 (Maths, physics), whereas in some you just can't (Biosciences, law). What the University Medal committee does is it takes into account the marks of medallists from previous years and see how the nominated student compared with past...

For a generic 3 year degree with optional Honours year, it is the Honours year mark that determine the class of Honours: 95+ First Class Honours with University Medal 85+ First Class Honours 75-84 Second Class Honours Division 1 65-74 Second Class Honours Division 2 50-64 Third Class...

It's a relatively new course so it will take time to develop once the coordinator gets more feedback from the students.

Yep, hope that medal letter from the Vice Chancellor is coming your way! :)

Hi Anfernee. Yes. Sunny and I are both moderators. I mainly post in the UNSW Science/Med section or other Universities' Science sections.

Sunny, it was still a fantastic achievement! A first class honours degree overall. Well done!

Your school rank does not generally affect your overall HSC results. For the past 7 years, students from both public, selective and private have been placed on the Top 10 list. The two most important factors are how you perform in the external exam as well as your class rank (how you compare...

I think you might be a little bit confused with PhD scholarships and funding/grants. Yes it is hard to get offered a PhD scholarship which supports your study for the entire length of your PhD. The scholarship is usually $20,000 to $30,000 p.a for up to 3.5 years. And to gain such scholarship...

Yep, any sort of engineering or technological sciences MIT is the palce to be. I might even be there myself next year for exchange!

Hollieee, don't get discouraged by people on this forum. They are just jealous because they could never handle a science degree. :D If you want to study for a science degree at university, I'd say go for it! It's not hard to find a job. But it's just expected that science graduates should go...

You do not need to start from scratch because some of the subjects you have studied at UNSW may exempt you from doing similar subjects at Usyd. However, a friend of mine who chas ompleted a BMedSc degree and is currently doing Pharmacy at Usy. It will still take him 4 years to complete Pharmacy...
