someone pls clarify what it means to study full -time? Also what is a typical week like and how you go about balancing studies.Also is this degree employable especially if ur considering science pathway in the long run?

Any advice etc will be appreciated!

A Full-TIme Study Load is equivalent to basically doing 4 units a semester and 8 in a year. You are still classed as full time if you take 3 units a semester. Part time when you only take a maximum of 2 units per semester.

A typical week will vary a lot from person to person. Some people can timetable their classes to fit into 2 or 3 days, while others have it stretched out over 5. People may choose to skip lectures and watch them at home. It is really up to the person in question.

Depends on what exactly you are planning on doing. Where exactly do you want to go with science? Into research? What are you hoping to get out of the Arts degree?

yes research is what i'm thinking of .Arts is more out of interest than a career as such. What do you mean by units?

Units are just the subjects you do. Your VCE subjects are split up into Units 3&4, for example. It is kind of like that.
