Engineering you will get in if you got >65% average in your final two years and meet te prerequisite subjects ie you have taken Linear Algebra and Calculus 2. Depending on the Eng discipline there is usually two science subjects of a particular discipline required also.

Not very hard ^

I'm not exactly sure, but a 65-70+ average would probably be ok for you.
The quota's only 300 students (though only sem 2) but I daresay less people are interested in this than anatomy.

The subject's not bad, I recommend it over Research based phys as a prerequisite for 3rd year physiology subjects; I've heard reviews about the RBP demonstrators being highly unprofessional.

I didn't find this the case with Researched Based Phys. I really enjoyed this subject and I thought the demonstrators were very very helpful.

i was thinking of doing bachelor of science and then post grad in either biomedical engineering or physio... what is the demand for physio at melbourne?

No idea for physio but there's absolutely no demand for biomedical engineers (isn't stopping me majoring in it though )

^^^HAHAHAHA HOBBITLE I KNOW RIGHT
woot for being unemployed forever always

If I do a subject that commences in January and finishes in March (studied online via another university as part of my degree) would that count as a  summer subject or a semester 1 subject?

[hobbitle]

^^ Summer

[charmanderp]

^^ Summer

So even though it continues into March I'd be able to take 4 different subjects (or 5 if I overload) in semester 1?

Send an email to your student centre - they'll be able to give you an official answer.

Will do!

Biology of Strayan Flora and Fauna people - is the content on the Independent Learning Activities assessable on the exam?

[hobbitle]

Am I the only one who always is allocated within the same 10 or so seats in the REB?  All 6 of my exams this year I'm in the same row within a few seats of each other.
