You're going to have to be more specific...accredited for which associations/organisations?

Oops got CPA and CFA mixed up. In that case yeah the breadth track will satisfy prerequisites for accreditation with CFA.

Kind of. http://i.imgur.com/lcDdG1N.png Winter recess starts when Semester 1 teaching finishes and ends when Semester 2 teaching starts. However throughout this time you'll have 1 week of SWOTVAC (exam prep) and then a three week period in which your exams are held. The minimum break people normally get is 4 weeks, with the maximum normally around 6-7 for those who finish exams in the first week, or simply don't have any.

By days do you mean the entirety of the period? Or excluding public holidays, days off etc.

Ah thank you very much for clearing that up.
Entirety of the period including our days off

CPA Australia(Chartered Public Accountants) is one of the 3 major accounting bodies in Australia. CFA Institute is a global association for investments. You can probably find more info about a from a Google search.

You are allowed to do a maximum of 3 level 1 breadths throughout your degree, doesn't matter which year. You are allowed to do any level in 3rd year provided you don't exceed the 3 level 1 limit.

As for the language, I'm not sure but would also be interested in seeing an answer. However I must ask, would you have time to go to vietnamese classes?

The week before uni starts (not sure on the dates). It isn't compulsory but a good chance to make some new friends and familiarise yourself around campus.

O-week starts on the 24th of Feb and no it's not compulsory but can be useful as there will be hosts taking you around campus. Also it is the day where you can meet people and get to know the uni more. There will be BBQ's, freebies and clubs would be advertising themselves. Plus there will be a lot of parties so you can meet people there if you don't feel like going to O-week. I'll be at as many events as possible since I'm a lone wolf in my course.

And these bbq, freebies, clubs and parties go on for the whole week? (24th-27th) ?
What happens on the 23rd then?
