What does the ANU Law Faculty primarily focus on?
sometimes I feel as if I'd be more enriched in life if I bought an RV and started cooking meth

If by focus you mean specialise, the Law faculty is renowned for its International Law programs. If you want to know the course structure, see: http://studyat.anu.edu.au/programs/4103XBARTS;study_options.html (this is for arts/law, but unless you're a nutjob aiming for straight Law then you can just replace the arts subs with whatever other degree you'd do with law.)

At appianway's request, I would like to confirm that I am willing to go to this meetup.  Also, I am doing English first year, Philosophy 2nd year and Classics 1st year - cbf finding subject names for now, but if you're interested I'll post them!

If this is a general question thread, then I'm curious as to whether ASCs are taken in place of a course each semester (in the PhB program) i.e. you take 3 courses and 1 ASC per semester. Or is it in addition to your courses? Also, is there coursework during honours? Are there graduate-level subjects (specifically, physics and math)?

Thanks

It depends. At least three of your ASCs have to be stand-alones, where you do an ASC as a whole course instead of a fourth course that semester. The remaining three (usually in 1st or 2nd year uni) can be add-ons, where you do a fourth course as normal, but part (or all, for PhB Arts) of your assessment is from additional work in the form of an ASC report.

Similarly with coursework - it depends on the discipline. In maths, half your honours workload is coursework (so you do a total of four courses over your honours year). You get to choose the four 3rd/4th year courses or special topics courses that you want to do. Note that in the maths department, these are pretty much the same as graduate courses; the only difference is the assessment.
For physics, you do around 5 courses in first semester, then second semester is purely for working on your thesis. The courses are specific honours courses, and all the other students in those courses are honours students.

^ Thanks, is there a list of the available special topics courses somewhere?

No, the special topics courses are decided the first week of semester, so you can't really know in advance (unless you speak to someone ahead of time, maybe). You don't have to do special topics courses if you don't want to, though, you can just do some of the third/fourth year courses: http://maths.anu.edu.au/study/undergraduate/MathematicsHandbook/thirdYear.html

For physics, it's different: http://physics.anu.edu.au/education/honours/honours_courses2011.php
