Haha, interesting, i didn't even know such a class exists!
I'm assuming it's a biology subject with philosophy, or?

Personally, I'm doing Latin+Japanese as breadth (get to take an extra since already done first year uni chem). wooop

[Russ]

It's what I'm down for at the moment, might change out of it if I find another one by next year

‘From God to Genes’ examines same-sex desire and same-sex behaviours as understood by a variety of disciplines, including genetics, theology, history, law and medicine. Through interdisciplinary team teaching, and a range of learning and assessment activities, students will be introduced to the ways in which contemporary debates around ‘homosexuality’ are the product of diverse understandings and disciplinary approaches. The subject will investigate the relationship between academic disciplines, as well as between academic debates and the broader community.

[QuantumJG]

bachelor of science is 1st preference thoughts on what the clearly in will be?

Anywhere between 85 & 91.

As for Biomed I would say that would be between 95 & 99.

haha, that's pretty broad. I'd say between 97.5 and 98.5 if I had to give a narrow estimate.

found a fellow jap student! weewww!
wondering would it be possible to do two languages as breadths?

[Russ]

Yes of course, depending on how far you want to go with each. You can do one breadth subject a semester max, so you could do 3 subjects on each language which is quite a bit

mm i wanted to start french and continue with my jap.
what do you mean by that?

[Russ]

by what?

If you do 6 breadth subjects for two languages, then it'll be 3 for each which means you won't be able to go into the same depth as if you'd done 6 on a single language (or a diploma of languages)

[vexx]

^ Note that you can do a diploma on the and do two breadth subjects each semester (so two languages), but extending your degree by a year!

I'm lucky enough to have finished a subject already so can start doing 2 right away without overloading/extending degree unless i continue doing both second second

But yay to japanese students it shall be good.

[cypriottiger]

oh is anyone else here looking to do the doctorite of veterinary science?
if yes, how many of you think you got the 98.5 atar?

[Russ]

You need a specific ATAR for DVM?

[Gloamglozer]

You need a specific ATAR for DVM?

I think he means the guaranteed entry.  It's the ATAR and GPA.

[cypriottiger]

she is referring to the guarenteed entry to the DVM if you have an ATAR of 98.5+
im just trying to get an estimate of how many places are already getting taken up :S and how many positions will be left for me to fight for

[Russ]

We default to the male pronoun unless proven wrong

And don't worry about the guarantee so much - if you don't get it and you can perform well at uni then it's not a big concern how many people do have it
