Search your bachelor degree on the melbourne uni handbook but not sure if you've tried that already?

It's fairly simple. All you really need to know is that a "standard" subject is 12.5 credit points, and a standard undergraduate degree consists of 300 credit points in total over three years (with some additional requirements).

hmm...but what about stuff like cores subjects and breadth subjects and stuff? is there a list of subjects on the melb uni website that I can peruse?

And is that 26 subject thing for Chancellors legit? It still feels too good to be true.

WAT. I had no idea that was a thing. Makes Chancellor's seem even more appealing than it already was. Argh...

Hmm.

Well I'd better get a 45 in English Language then. Otherwise I'll have to reorganise my subjects even more.

It depends on if you count UMEP as "going to uni"
Maybe it's just because my subject is held at school and I only go to Melbourne Uni for pracs, so I don't consider it that way.

[LeviLamp]

Yeeeeeep.

How does your GPA work with regard to exchange? It says that they look at your 'weighted average' - how does the weighting work?

I'm pretty sure it's just the average of all your scores. I haven't read anywhere that Level 2 subjects are worth more than Level 1 subjects or anything like that.

Where are you applying to go on exchange? I am finishing up my application for Manchester Business School

Cool beans, that's pretty much what I thought. Though I did read somewhere (not sure where) that subjects taken during second year are worth twice as much as those taken during first year, but that sounds a little too good to be true.

I want to go to the UK too! But ideally somewhere in London.
