hey all
im interested in doing sports media at UC but the problem is it has history listed as assumed knowledge...if i get the marks needed but i dont do history, will i still get in?? does UC have bridging courses like other unis??

Hello
Yes - you will get in. It just means they recommend you doing it. If you havent done it, i wouldnt worry about doing a bridging course. Most ppl only do it if they havent done maths and are doing a stats subject etc. They will teach i whatever u need to know..
Any questions - email

thanx!!
by the way, im from sydney and so im thinking of living on campus. what's the campus there like?? is it any good?? and maybe this sounds like a dumb question but whats canberra like on the whole as compared to sydney?? its been years since i last visited canberra and theres not much i remember...
i cant wait until open day so i can go there and check it out for myself!

I personally like the campus - very 'bushy' - oif that makes sense??

I was from NSW (Harden) so coming to Canberra was way bigger, but I know TONNEs of Sydney people at UC. All recommend living on campus as u meet tonnes of friends. Best for social is ascot (?? spell) house.. On open day they will have all tours - so best check them out..

I am not sure if you know but UC fees go up 20% next year; I guess it is not as bad as the sydney unis putting them up 25% - but i guess it still is a fee rise..

Canberra is good - it depends on what you make of it i suppose. Best advice is to make friends straight away - which u will if u live on campus.

Overall, best is to go to open day
