QUOTE(HawkreiN @ Jun 6 2014, 11:48 PM) Don't be confused, the basic Business and Commerce degree does not award honours. You will require an additional fourth year upon completion of your degree. Refer to Australian degree grading systems. just to add, the 4th year is the honours year where you learn about research methodologies and conclude the year with a publication of a thesis.Only way for a CGPA of 4.0 in Monash is straight HDs. Don't think even the top student in my cohort achieved that. Focus on getting a good WAM  entry into the honours year is usually by invitation only though, depending on how well you do in your 3 year undergrad degree |

QUOTE(@secret@ @ Jun 14 2014, 12:22 PM) If can't make it to orientation, where to enquire about which units to choose from & what study plan to use? from programme administrator right? I don't think that'll be covered during the orientation anyways. the units to be chosen are only more complicated should you be in the business school as you'll need to pick your major(s), but even then there will still be the compulsory core subjects that you'll need to cover during the first year, so the subjects are pretty much picked for you already anyways, except for the remaining slots for elective subjects.but yeah, just walk into the school administration office and ask for somebody who can help you with the subjects that you need. you probably don't need to pick a major right away during the first semester if you're in a business degree. |

QUOTE(secondrate @ Mar 26 2015, 10:53 PM) Well in 2012 there was a unit called FIT1002 (unit/subject code, FIT means Faculty of IT, 1 means 1st year) Computer Programming 1. You learned programming basics and foundation using Java language. Then in 2nd sem you learn FIT1008 Introduction to Computer Science which continues using Java. Basically you use Java until your FYP (Final year project) where you can choose whatever you want. Along the way different units might have different languages but everyone has the learn Java. Bah. We never had such luxuries like them changing course structures just because failure and dropout rates were too high when I was enrolled in RDT.Then in 2013 they aka Monash changed the structure so you learn FIT1040 Programming Fundamentals because apparently failure rate was high. Learn the same concepts but using a language called Scribble (please google, you will be amused  ) then in 2nd sem you learn FIT1008 Computer Science using Python (another language, easier to learn than Java some say) and in 2nd year 2nd sem you do Advanced Programming in Java (can't remember unit code but it focuses on Android programming which is native Java). So yeah, learn more things but your understanding might not be as strong and I hear people still find it hard. I also hear that the structure changed again but not sure about that. Monash Handbook will have the latest units and things for you. I'll try and PM you the FIT1002 things but not sure if can do through PM . |

QUOTE(faiz_noordin @ Mar 30 2016, 12:49 AM) Is Monash university and Bandar Sunway as a whole good place to commute with bike ? I am a cyclist, so you know I really wanna ride bike lol From the Monash campus, you have easy access to the Kesas Highway, which provides a 25km loop from Sunway to Bukit Jalil and back on the motorcycle lane. There's quite a lot of cyclists along that route on weekday nights. But don't go alone for safety reasons. Try to find out more about the different groups that cycle along that route and join one or more of them for the rides. |

QUOTE(lifeainteasy @ Jul 17 2017, 05:05 PM) 3. Is it true that the extra 1-year honour program is more valuable compared to the 3-year non-honour program in terms of employability and application for master in prestigious university overseas? For Australian 3 year degrees, honors is not awarded automatically based on your results, but its a 4th year that's only offered via invitation only (based on your 2nd and 3rd year results). You will start off with learning about research methods, then finish off with the publication of a thesis.In terms of employability, it really depends on the employer and what they're looking for. In terms of application for post graduate courses (such as Masters or Phd), it depends on the nature of the course as well. If you're looking at a research based course, then you will have an advantage as you have done research work and published a thesis before, especially if you managed to find a supervisor who's interested in you expanding on your honors research topic. Also, one of the prerequisites of being able to skip masters and jump directly to PhD is to have gotten a 1st class research based Honors. |

QUOTE(evofantasy @ Aug 6 2017, 10:10 PM) quite good compared to the past. around 200-300ish per year? last time my class was so small compared to now looks like they recovered from the slump 10 years back then. at that time getting even 10 students per intake can be considered lucky and the staff numbers were totally gutted. Was in serious danger of being absorbed into the School of Engineering then too. In fact, a temp head of school was appointed from the School of Engineering at that time as well. |

QUOTE(evofantasy @ Aug 6 2017, 10:47 PM) mainly due to the general perception of the public that thinks comp sci = IT, not realizing it is different and one of the most sought after major in the world actually no, its not to do with the Comp Sci vs IT thing, although this itself is a huge debate. There's a world wide slump at that time in just about any IT courses during that time. Even the Clayton campus was laying off staff too back then. The infamous Llyod Alison who everybody thought will be in Monash forever also left at that time. But for Monash overall, Comp Sci in Malaysia was hit especially hard as the entry requirements were pretty high compared to other colleges in Malaysia. |

QUOTE(evofantasy @ Aug 7 2017, 03:04 AM) i think Llyod is back as I saw his office in Clayton recently... oh well, that's not changed at least. in fact, one of those who was originally involved in coming up with the BBUS course (the original name for BITS) actually mentioned to me that part of the reason for the course to exist is as a fall back for those who applied to BCS and cannot get in, and for those who got into BCS and flunked out of to go into.anyways back then the BITS side was still healthy compared to BCS in Malaysia. Half my class went from BCS to BITS after failing FIT1008 lolx |

QUOTE(Gnomeo @ Nov 2 2020, 11:07 AM) I see, not much then. There's a reason why it's limited, as you're literally paying local fees, since you're still enrolled in your original campus.Thank you If you're looking for something longer, then you'll need to look at the campus transfer instead, but with this, you'll be paying your fees in AUD instead of MYR Gnomeo liked this post
