So Who Got Accepted Today?

[LOLs99]

Bachelor of Science contemplating whether to do a concurrent Diploma of Music or Languages or not hmm.

Can't you do them as breath instead?

[scribble]

late in, but congratulations to everyone who got in!

ME !! But not 100% on mechanical. If chemical/civil interesting enough, I might consider.

Yeah me too, but I'll probably go Mechanical. Is it possible to get a taste of all engineering fields in the first year?

Not reeeeally. You can do first year chem, physics, ESD 2 (well that one is compulsory) to get an idea of Chem Eng, Electrical eng (kind of), and mech eng...

Haven't set myself up yet. Still looking at which is more interesting. I will see u then can't wait to be called JAFFY

Where can I see the pre-requisite subjects for first yr ( they called it level 1 in the handbook??,Idk).
I have not done physics 3/4 in vce but specialist maths 3/4. So do I require a foundation physics or physics 1 is okay as I'm willing to start studying 3/4 physics now so I won't be really behind.

they're pretty lenient about everything first year. even if there's no test, just email the subject coordinator about it and they'll probably let you in. :'D

According to the prerequisites, you can only enrol in Physics 1: Fundamentals. However, if you teach yourself a lot of physics before you start, they might let you take a placement test for Physics 1 or Physics 1: Advanced. I'm not too sure if they will, but I know they have a placement test for Accelerated Maths 1, so I don't see why they wouldn't for Physics. I'd ask about it on the advice day.

Is the pre-req stuff in the handbook as I might have overlooked it.  Yeah will just ask them. But will I be slightly behind then ? Or I can take physics 1 in semester 2 as breadth ? But the sample plan shows me sem 2 will be physics : physical science and tech.

Hmhh I will start studying just in case they test me. Gosh I'm back to vce 
Anyways, i will ask them at academic advice day.

Yeah, prereqs are in the handbook.

You won't be able to take physics as breadth if you're enrolled in the bachelor of science.

Thanks!
Omg assignments!! " Contact Hours: 3 x one hour lectures per week; 1 x one hour tutorial per week; 28 hours of practical work (8 x three hour laboratory sessions and up to 30 minutes of pre-laboratory activity) and 10 weekly assignments of 30 minutes each during the semester. "

Oh I kind of understand now, so if I did Physics: Fundamentals , I can't do Physics 1 or advanced since I can only gain credit for one of those. So what is the difference between physics: fundamentals and physics 1 then?
I still don't get what that really means in the link u gave me with part of the pre-requisite thing:

PHYC10002 Physics 2: Advanced        Semester 2                 12.50

Thanks for help

Yeah that is totally confusing that Physics 2 is listed as a prerequisite for Physics 1. It's possible that's an error. The normal course for non-VCE physics first years is
Physics 1: Fundamentals
Physics 2: (whichever stream is more relevant)
As mentioned you may be able to pass some sort of test to be able to take straight Physics 1(not Fundamentals) but ultimately it doesn't accelerate your degree at all.
As for the differences between the subjects... Well, read the handbook outline.

Commerce kid here!
I was just wondering if any of you've received the enrolment email yet? Did they say what time on Monday they were sending it and have I missed it?

Haven't received it yet, I'm anticipating something in the afternoon, around 2ish.
