How scary
-
Why scary? Would you be afraid of going on holiday to Port Arthur?
-
I don't get why it's scary either lol. Exchange confuses me. If I have core units in my course how am i meant to complete them if the university i go to doesn't offer it?
-
DAMN NO NYU. Only UoM has it. Bastards :(
If I had to go, I'd go to Boston College :D

Yonsei FTW!

When I called them, they said that they'd use up my electives when I was on exchange. I guess you'd have to find subjects with similar course content?

I emailed them about it but the response wasn't very helpful. What if they don't have my majors either gah

Yes

I wanna go to UC- Berkeley but I don't think I'm eligible because for Business/Commerce students you apparently need to have studied statistics/calculus at a higher level (Uni level) and I don't think compulsary business stats is good enough lol
-
I would probably pick Berkeley or Boston

Yeah, they haven't been terribly helpful for me either..
Hi,
I did a bit better than I thought I was going to do and now have an enter high enough to get into the Bachelor of Commerce course at Clayton (if next year's clearly-in stays somewhat close to this year's). I was planning on doing the Bachelor of Business at Caulfield, which only has six compulsory first-year units. Both courses have eight open electives, which I was planning to use to take up a language. I would have liked to use these electives in the first year, so that I could complete as many language units as possible. In the Commerce course at Clayton, however, there are eight compulsory first-year units. With there only being eight units completed each year, there wouldn't be enough space for this to happen. Is there anyway to start doing a language in the first year?
On a related note, how does the Arts/Commerce double degree work? I think the electives component from the Commerce degree is taken out, but there are still eight compulsory first-year units. Add to this a major, a minor, and a separate first-year sequence from the Arts faculty; how would one go about completing the course? Would you be able to study units denoted with a '1' at the front (eg, BTC1110) in the second year? If so, would this be possible to do in a single degree?
Thanks for any help,
Robert
Hello Robert,
Thank you for your enquiry. I can only comment on the commerce side of the arts/commerce double degree. Within the commerce component there is only room for 1 x specialisation and this must be from the Bus Eco faculty.You could possibly do a diploma of languages from the Arts faculty. The diploma of languages is considered separate from your degree. However you will need to contact the Arts faculty for more information.
Thank you,
Matthew

Note: I sent my email on 18/12/2008 (I wanted to get an answer before the end of the change of preference period), but I didn't get a reply until 22/01/2009 (after round 1 offers)! xD
Have you tried contacting your exchange adviser? I've found that calling them is much more helpful. Since you're not limited to one message, you can stay on the phone and get transferred enough times until you get put through to someone who can give you a proper answer. Maybe you can make an appointment to see someone in person?

Are they the only ones? What about Harvard, Yale, Princeton or MIT??

UoM has a program with UPenn, and NYU Stern.

What bout ANU?
-
Yeh I've been trying to see if they do domestic exhcnages but cant find info
-
Generally, no to domestic exchanges.
I believe that credit for units undertaken on exchange are handled on a case-by-case basis, otherwise they will use your electives up. You generally need at least a year (which is pretty much most compulsory units out of the way for the generalist degrees) before they'll let you go though.

I'm aiming at doing an exchange to Vienna in my 3rd year...especially because I know that they teach quite a few law units in ENGLISH (my German isn't good enough for that kind of stuff lol!). But would I be correct in saying that doing an exchange to an institution in the Northern Hemisphere would probably delay the completion of your degree slightly? Because their academic years always start in September :S
