You can now take anywhere between 4 and 6 breadth subjects. For diploma students, actuarial students and a few others, this can eliminate breadth altogether.

I can confirm that these two comments are true to the best of my ability.
So in conclusion, yes, your fb contacts are reliable (to some point).

What's a good breadth to do over summer? (i have already done a third year one so my last one can be anything).
-
Wine!

what maths HAVE you done over the summer btw?
-
Wine!
Yeah I was thinking of doing that except that you have to go to Dookie Campus for that I think?
@TT: They offer fuck all over summer, hence my question.

It gets taught at the Burnley campus.
2011, Burnley
This subject commences in the following study period/s:
July - Taught on campus.

Unfortunately not many maths subjects are officially offered over the summer.

Finance 1?

Pretty sure it's taught in february

Latin! ;)

lol i did it in winter. its not easy! (to get good marks that is...)
-
Finance 1?
Ooo, I'm doing Finance 1 over summer! First commerce subject I've taken at uni (I'm a science student), hope it's alright. I did accounting at VCE and did ok.

I might be joining you. :) But that is a very big "might".
Other than that kamil, if finance doesn't tickle your fancy, accounting perhaps?

wow, i thought UoM would offer some good maths units over summer lol

Linear algebra is offered over summer. So is eng maths, but that has an extra prereq.
-
ohhh right i see, by eng maths you mean engineering maths yeah? that's not too bad.

What about Actuarial students who are also doing a concurrent diploma? This is so confusing... :(

That would be awesome for those people who are going to fail a maths subjects and don't have to wait until semester 1 to repeat. But other than that, like rustic said, only linear algebra and engineering maths are offered over summer.

You can cross-credit up to 50 points of study, so if four of your diploma subjects can be taken as part of your BCom breadth, you can cross credit all of them and not have to do any breadth. This would leave you with 20 BCom subjects and your 8 diploma subjects all up. Alternatively you can decide not to cross-credit anything and do four extra breadth subjects (what I'm doing).

The mainly confusing thing is if the 3 breadth subjects are non-maths or not. Since most maths and actuarial subjects are not offered over summer semester, it'll probably add an extra year, seeing as you need to fit Group Theory with Linear Algebra (2nd year), Complex Analysis, Metric & Hilbert Spaces, Algebra and Graph Theory (all 3rd year) if majoring in pure mathematics. If they are all just normal breadth subjects then through cross-crediting 37.5 pts and overloading 2 subjects in 3rd year it may be possible. I don't mind if it does add an extra year, but would prefer it not to because I'll just have a year where I've got about 3 subjects then.
Are you doing an extra year to finish up your degree & diploma?

Yeah, not adding an extra year is unrealistic. The best you can really hope for is finishing a semester early.
I'm adding an extra year to mine because it allows me to double major in both electrical and mechanical engineering - rather than just the one - and because it allows me to take my 4 breadth subjects. I like uni, so I don't mind staying here longer. :P

Ok, are you allowed to cross-credit subjects from your honours year into the Diploma - you get 25 pts of level 3 or 4 subjects outside your faculty in the honours year?
I'll probably be at uni for like ages because I'm really interested in actuarial, economics, law and mathematics. *sigh*

Nah, pretty sure you aren't.
I'll be at uni for at least 6 years too, thanks to my diploma and masters. 7 if I manage to go overseas for a year. :D

That's not too bad! I'll be at uni for max (4+1+3+2+2) = 12 years - though I'm most likely not going to do all those courses. More realistically 8 years. Too many interests...

Have you thought about being "overqualified"? That word could potentially be your biggest nightmare when you finish.
-

LOL yeah, I guess the best thing to do is just take it as it comes I suppose, see what I like best, starting with BCom (Actuarial Studies major) and DipMSc (Pure Maths).
Also, does 'part-time study' refer to 2 subjects a semester, or just anything less than 4 subjects per semester? How would this work if you had to fit 8 semester subjects into 2 years part-time?

I think his biggest problem is going to be paying for it all.

It refers to how you enrol in the university. Full time students can do less subjects a semester and still have it considered a full time load.
And 8 semester subjects in 2 years is the standard 2 per semester.

do you know if taking less than a full time load has any effect on your study?
or is it just your pocket?
-
It'll take you twice as long to complete your degree. And the subjects don't cost more or less based on fulltime/parttime
-
lol, a bit ambitious with all those planned degrees considering you're in year 10 now.

Okay, I'm not really planning to do all those degrees. I'm just exploring options right now - nothing wrong with that :)
