    Communications Alternative Entry???

    Ok, here are some options: Apply for the DFEE version of the course as the cut-off is lower, then transfer at the end of the year into the CSP version. No time would be 'lost', you can still graduate at the end of the 3 years. Apply for another strand of communications at UTS eg. Social Inquiry...

    a few questions about social inquiry

    While this course is a communications course, it doesn't focus on journalism perse - its more about social policy and research, working with the government and the community etc. If you wish to study journalism then your best bet is to apply for the Journalism strand of this course which will...

    The Abortion Debate (continued)

    Incorrect. When used correctly, there is still a significant failure rate - which decreases when real life variables are introduced. See here for a table demonstrating the average failure rates for both method effectiveness and actual effectiveness. So women who use contraceptives, and even...

    Help! (degree choices)

    Regarding Arts (Advanced), check here first. Regarding Arts (Languages), check here. I found that are of the site really informative last year.:) I'm also guessing that this is the kind of thing you'd be looking for after your first degree if you were interested in translation. There are also...

    Journalism

    You could try for a DipEd/MTeach to teach in highschool if you've picked the right subjects during your degree...or after postgrad work in communications you could apply to work as a tutor at a uni (my first sem tutor at UTS had done a Masters at UWS). Otherwise I'm a bit hazy on what the...

    Vis Comm. and Int. Std

    Well having a year overseas + skills in another language would probably look good on a CV, however it should be remembered that you would be studying International Studies as opposed to an International Design course. Much like with someone who does BCom(Act. Stu)/BA(English) - components of one...

    Vis Comm. and Int. Std

    With international studies it depends on the level of competency you have in the language. If your skills aren't all that good then you study the language for the year, if its in between then you study subjects related to the culture and history of the country for a year (in the native language...

    Tower Building - Lifts

    There are lifts that go up to the top I think, but you need to have a special key to do so. The reason why you have four lifts on one side and two on the other is that the four lift side only goes to even numbered floors and serves as a sort of 'express'. The two lift side covers all of the...

    Journalism & Education: How relevant is it?

    Transferring to UTS - what are my chances? :/

    It is important to remember that the entry cut-off for those transferring is different to those applying from school with the HSC/IB - it can be lower (or higher) so its not set in stone what exactly you need to get in. So don't set your expectations too much, it could go either way.

    B science(Arcitecture) -> Achiecture?

    Well TAFE Diplomas are never three years when full time, they are one or two years. The TAFE Diploma in Architectural Technology is 2 years full time and presumably you would recieve some credit toward your degree as well - which shortens your time at uni. You also could look at architecture...

    Double Degrees

    Many people change what academic area they focus on when they go to uni because many subjects are introductory style stuff in first year, so while I can't speak for commerce specifically, I can say that at uni its usually no biggy if you haven't done the subject before and its not on the assumed...

    Communication and media Cert 4/ Diploma

    You could get into UWS and MQ (maybe UOW) with a Cert 4 I think, though it would be more difficult(diplomas 'scale higher' to put it simply) and you wouldn't recieve as much advanced standing with a certificate. Your chances would be reduced with USYD/UTS to a point where I'd doubt you could...

    Friendships

    I must admit my experiences with people at TAFE and uni has led me to think I won't be lasting friends with many of them if only because I feel so utterly different from them. Some of the people are interesting though, but I won't pretend I'm much of a priority for them. I have made some really...

    USYD vs UNSW

    Well original questions etc. The campuses are both attractive in their own way... USYD is rather sprawling and spread out, lots of grass and the centre of the main campus is quite beautiful with its (rumoured to be sinking) sandstone. There is also these small museum things in the...
