Hello All!
I'm considering to undertake a degree in  either Business management, law, accounting or actuarial studies post HSC. I'm wondering which universities such as Macq/UTS/ USyd/ UNSW and was wondering which universities offer best career opportunities after graduation such as a job internship etc. so i can set myself an atar goal to work towards. I'd love to hear from you and if you know which uni is best to go to for those areas. Im quite lost in terms of what is a good uni to aim towards
Thank you very much!

How did everyones half yearly exams go? If you're still going, feeling confident? Keen to hear how you have all gone!

Finished up my last exam on Wednesday before taking a well earned weekend away. Business studies was a mess and probably the worst exam I've done in a long time. The other few weren't too bad, a few mistakes here and there, but nothing too major to fret over (hopefully). Feeling extremely confident with biology though, I'm pretty sure I smashed it!

Thanks to everyone who helped out during this exam block. The help was much appreciated (and much needed), and I/everyone wouldn't have been able to get through the exams without you all!

Hey kiaaa! Sorry it took so long for me to reply, I meant to give you this link but it slipped my mind. That is an article on choosing universities, how to do some research and what things to consider!

I don't know much about the specifics of those degrees for those four universities - I know of some people who could be worth asking over PM (unless they read this) and they might be able to lend a hand? RuiAce does Actuarial at UNSW, isaacdelatorre does Law at UNSW - Could be biased opinions there but they could have an insight!

Best of luck with the choice! Ultimately, all are great institutions, go with what seems to be the best fit for you personally

Niiicely done barman, hope you enjoyed the time off! Well deserved!

Sounds like a great performance overall. Don't worry about Business, figure out what went wrong and fix it - Just a learning experience is all it is keen to hear some awesome results coming back next term!! Thanks for being an awesome part of the forums

Hey kiiaaa! I've written a study timetable guide and you can read it here! that said, some sort of template file for a study timetable is actually a seriously brilliant idea. I might make one!

Just to let you guys know, the HSC timetables were accidentally released early but were taken down 1 hour ago 

edit: Is this a prelim thread? I just realised soz

Nah.

[Thebarman]

Would the exam dates that were leaked be pretty much what we can expect now? Or are they going to change since they were released a bit early?

[Zainbow]

I'm not sure, they'd probably stay the same for the most part

I agree, they wouldn't change them just because some people saw them early, it's not like those people are at an advantage did you guys see your timetables? Are you happy with it assuming it will be the same?
