G'day

Im considering a career in pharmacy, and would like to ask some questions regarding transferring.

1) A search on this forum reveals that you can transfer to Pharmacy from any course/degree, provided:

- You've got atleast a credit average after 1 year of study
- STAT Test > 150

Is that correct?

2) I have low credit average for my engineering degree. Its got some X's on the transcript. If I am successful at transferring to a B. Science course, will the faculty consider my marks from 1 year B. Science, or my marks from my previous degree?

3) Ive heard that a new degree = a new transcript?


Thanks for your help

You're probably sick of my opinion, but im pretty sure new degree = new transcript. If you get/apply for credit of common subjects, then i'd imagine it would be different.

I read in a post on here that you need at least a D average to be competitive.

Im definitely not sick of your opinion, since your opinion brings great news to me. I guess its a fresh start. My old transcript is so stale, and so dull.

Yeah, im just hoping that science 1st year will allow me to achieve that. Might need a greater effort, but at least I have something to aim for - Pharmacy.

A few more questions...

1) If i make an interal transfer from one degree to another, will I recieve a new transcript, or will it just be combined with the previous one?

2) Would it be advantageous if I studied B. Science at USyd, rather than UTS?

internal transfers don't reset your transcript (at usyd at least)

Yeah. Shouldnt worry me that much, since im not doing an internal transfer (Engineering --> Science is external). Guess I have to apply through UAC
