Because my own research on the net has got me nowhere.
In particular reference to Arts, what sort of subjects are available in the summer semester?
-
There are only very limited offerings from Arts in terms of summer subjects.
There are a few subjects available from School of Historical Subjects- but these involve 6 week intensives which involve studying abroad.
There are also a few history subjects (which are on-campus) during the winter break.
-
Is there actually a page on which the summer semester subjects for each faculty are listed or do you have to check each subject in the handbook?
-
could you use this: https://handbook.unimelb.edu.au/faces/htdocs/user/search/AdvancedSearch.jsp and just specify 'summer semester' as the study period?
-
Good idea :) In the case of subjects like, say, "Derivative Securities" (https://handbook.unimelb.edu.au/view/2010/FNCE30007), when it says Date and Location: January, Semester 1, Semester 2, 2010, Parkville.
What's the difference between January and Summer term?
^ The subject doesn't appear when I specify "Summer term" in advanced search.
-
Summer semester is January + February, maybe that one just runs for one month. More likely, the coordinator just meant summer semester and entered the wrong thing.
As if you're worrying now, you won't take that subject for another few years.

Actually, I'm not sure if I'm going to take that subject at all! I've had lots of fun making course timetables though :) If I want to complete a BComm (Econ/Fin major) + DipMSc, it fits into 3 years according to the rules with 1 overload subject in 3rd year + that summer subject. And BComm (Econ) + DipMSc fits in without overloading/summer at all :) Actuarial Studies is quite inflexible, everything's compulsory for accreditation bar 3 breadth subjects...
-
That's so...keen.
Also don't take summer semester subjects in 3rd year or you won't be able to graduate with your cohort.

Why thank you :) How about a 3rd year subject at the January of your 3rd year (as opposed to 4th) - as you would've fulfilled the pre-requisite subjects in 2nd year?
-
That's fine. Doing them after third year means you haven't satisfied your degree requirements so you can't graduate with everyone you studied with.
-
Thanks for the replies! I wasn't sure if classes ran during the winter break, but that's just as good as the summer semester, I suppose. Probably better.

I know that many JD classes run in the winter semester: refer http://jd.law.unimelb.edu.au/go/the-course/subject-pages
Are there any non-law subjects in winter?
-
Yes.
-
Since you cannot specify 'winter semester' as the study period on the handbook search, is there any way to find the subjects offered, just out of interest? Thanks for the information.
-
If it's not a search option, then no easy way. I was considering doing a roman history one which was advertised in the old quad (ie a hard copy), so maybe they're not on handbook as a specific category.
-
it might be worthwhile asking at the faculties about the difference between summer semester and jan. when they redid the computer system this year, i think they changed the names for summer/jan.
odd that the historical studies languages don't show up in that search, there was a summer latin and a winter greek this year (jan/jun on the results statement).

This made me lol..

Yeah, I made:
BComm majoring in Actuarial Studies
BComm majoring in Actuarial Studies/Economics (until I realised that Bcomm could only be 300 pts)
BComm majoring in Actuarial Studies w/DipMSc
BComm majoring in Economics w/DipMSc
BComm majoring in Economics/Finance
BComm majoring in Economics/Finance w/ DipMSc
BComm majoring in Actuarial Studies/BA majoring in Economics + International Politics
Juris Doctor.
Lots of fun. Especially when you have thousands of breadth subjects to choose from! Just exploring all the options I like the sound of :D
-
There will be a specific handbook for summer subjects that will come out in October. The current handbook may not be accurate because it says that FNCE10001 Finance 1 is not offered over the summer when it traditionally has. And will be in 2011 as confirmed by Paul Kofman (one of the coordinators).

lol how'd you get BCom/BA?
-
lol how'd you get BCom/BA?
You can now do sequential degrees at UniMelb (ie. one degree after another) - and you can apparently cross-credit up to 100 pts so altogether 2 undergrad degrees would take 5-6 years.

Yeah, but technically that's not B.Com/B.A. It's more like B.Com and B.A. because the slash denotes a double degree, like the ones offered at Monash. I guess that's where laynie got confused.

Say, you get a full CSP scholarship or something for that and it covers the whole length of your course. Does that take into account that you will be doing sequential degrees or the scholarship covers only for the first degree?
No, just the normal duration of your undergraduate degree (3 years) I think, that's probably why they give more scholarships now as opposed to before with everyone doing double degrees.
