life studying at Monash really sucks like what people have thought? ==

to be honest, every uni you go in malaysia sure got people say it sucks, Monash & Nottingham included.

strict marking scheme not really as long as you got the main points you get the mark and also it depend on who is your lecturer.If you get a fussy lecturer, then its not your lucky day lah!
impossible assignment tasks.not really too, the lecturer will explain it really thoroughly not just pass you the assignment paper and here go do it on your own
regarding exam questions not related to lectures notes.its NO too except when the examiner feel like want to test you then it may be the case, however your lecturer will prepare you for it

And this is for Business courses so far 1st year 1st semester

Added on November 30, 2010, 10:52 amhi there any seniors can provide me info regarding transfer to clayton/caulfield?
i know that clayton need at least 70%,while caulfield 65%.
tried to ask at course management office but they give very little info i.e. should be compatible.
tried to email clayton/caulfield also but got very little info also.
and from this forum i read about some1 saying that some units that we take in Sunway is not the same there.

yes, as long as u're still in Malaysia, u'll know what to expect..it sucks

btw, results out, hope everyone is doing well and celebrating by now

@ryan18
i believe they do organize talk regarding transfer issue during the semester
you might wanna find out when is that and attend it
AFAIK, business students shouldn't have any problem in transferring as most are the units are the same or equivalent to the units offered in aus campus

Passed everything but my WAM and CGPA just keep dropping and dropping beyond the reach of a 1st class honours or 2nd upper even.

I'm taking a science-related course and I wonder if dropping grades is a normal thing or is it just me?

mine fluctuates
some units can be really good, some can be quite bad

I am going to Monash in the Feb 2011 intake and planning to do Business and Commerce. However, I have not done any accounting or economics subjects before, will it be hard to cope with the new subjects or will there be guidance and teaching from a basic level? Also, can someone recommend some accounting/economics books that I should get in preparation for the first semester?

Thanks

Monash no longer offering 100% entrance scholarship?
Is this true?

hi there
the accounting which is part of your compulsory subjects is a basic level unit which means it suits for people who have not studied Accounting before.
book for Accounting? you mean the textbook that we use for Accounting course or other books for Accounting.if textbook we are using Principles of Accounting & Finance from John Wiley & Sons. its green in colour
if other books i suggest you get a Form 6 level Accounting textbook

Thanks for your help, will get the book right away

hi there, im considering to take MUFY next year then continue my degree pharmacy. So i want to ask, how do i proceed to pharmacy course after MUFY? Like can i go overseas or will do it locally? And how bout the fees including my pharmacy degree? Thanks.

Hi there. Year 1 student here. Are there any people taking an accounting major together with a minor in enterprise systems?

Hi, for starters you need really really good grades from your MUFY to be able to proceed to the pharm degree.you will most likely complete all 4 years in Malaysia. However you can opt to transfer to Australia for one semester if your results are good.
Course fees will be about 165k, excluding MUFY. So all in all might reach about 190k?

only good grades then only i can proceed to the pharm degree? What if i just pass all?
and i can opt to transfer to Australia for one semester if my results are good..the "good" as in very good?

Entry into programmes like Pharmacy and Medicine are very competitive. You might as well forget it if you just get all passes. Even meeting the minimum requirements is not enough to get in because of the competition and the minimum requirement itself is above average.

erm...pass is not enough to gain admission la

http://www.mufy.monash.edu.au/destination/pharmacy.html
the minimum requirement from MUFY to enter Pharmacy in both the Sunway Campus, Malaysia and Parkville, Australia is 340/400 and 70% from English and minimum 80% in MUFY Chemistry and Mathematics.

Hi everyone. Have a question here. Is there any chance entering monash pharmacy with SAM score of 85? The requirement stated is 90. If I appeal, would it normally be successful? Thanks.
