yup i think you would enjoy your time at uni a lot more

[bubble sunglasses]

I'm doing a BSc majoring in maths at UoM next year. 

 What'll you do as a "breadth subject"?

I think he's gonna try some economics. That'll keep him away from the stupid fluff of stupid breadth subjects.

so does the guaranteed ENTER mean that if you get over that you are 100% guaranteed a place in that course with full fee?

Yes

good boy! see, as if you wouldn't do maths.

i still say PhB at ANU pwns BSc at UoM though

i still say PhB at ANU pwns BSc at UoM though 

apparently ANU's PhB pwns every other science course in australia. *feels ashamed for monash*   
i wonder how monash's science scholar program stacks up.

i have a friend who does that course (leachy on BoS). it's a good course. but monash definitely isn't as good as ANU or UMelb for science - the courses they offer aren't as good (comparing subjects with leachy, i've found that there aren't as many maths courses at monash than at ANU, and the ones at monash are generally a fair bit easier).
that being said, the science scholar program at monash is the next best science program for high achieving students in australia.

Oh cool ^_^
There's just no way I could move away anywhere, despite if there are better things. wouldnt be able to cope with it.

I'm doing BSc next year (changed my mind about Monash). I'll be majoring in mechanical systems with mostly physics electives. Concurrently a small voice in the back of my head is making me think I should major in mathematical physics. I think I'm naturally inclined to toss about between things. I'm so indecisive.

I've heard that melbourne engineering is horrible, but how is it for science? Is Melbourne one of the top universities for physics/maths? Or is physics included in 'engineering'?


Erm... I didn't know this thread was so old sorry 

[Collin Li]

Or is physics included in 'engineering'?

Different faculties, so nope.

Engineering at Melbourne is not horrible for Chemical Engineering, in my experience.

Cool, thanks. My school only offers UMEP so I was hoping my extra credit points wouldn't be wasted

 I doubt they'd be wasted if you went to Monash, or anywhere else

I got credit for UMEP maths at ANU, so I got to skip the first year first semester honours maths course (went straight through to second year courses...).

And generally for science, and in particular maths, UMelb is definitely the best in Victoria.

I read Vtac guide 2010 and under Science at uom that doing this course will lead to careers such as Science and Veterinary Medicine
Major studies: incl. Chemistry, zoology, pharmacology..heaps more.

Does this mean undertaking Science will create an opportunity to do S&VM ?
Doing subjects such as chem, zoology in uni?
