For ECSE, well, you can take any electives.Eng seniors, for E&CS, what do we have to take for Level 1? It doesn't really matter cause the most important unit in year one is ENG1030 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. I would recommend ENG1050 Engineering Materials. If you want to gain more friends, you can take CHM1011 Chemistry which is offered by the science faculty. Hope this helps, Cheers.

It has a couple of classes on history (who said what, who proposed what) about the early founders of psychology though, so if u guys absolutely hate history and additional reading - may wanna reconsider Added on July 11, 2011, 3:52 am Used ones are available, but check the bookshop, sometimes new edition comes out. Primetime for used book sellers is the 2nd week of classes. Sometimes sunway college bookstore may be cheaper, so shop around. but i've no idea what units should i take as elective lehh..>< have to choose carefully coz some unit might be useless if i transferred to aus.

Physics used to be a highly recommended unit, but starting from 2011, it has been replaced by engineering profession.Physics is quite challenging. You have 4 to 5 mini projects which requires you to build simple prototypes with your groupmates. I learned a lot thru the group projects though. Well, the electives pretty much depend on which branch of engineering you intend to take in year 2. For chemical, go for PSA and Chemistry. For mechanical, go for material and another elective. Note that there are 2 additional requirement by the School of Engineering for Chemical and Mechanical Engineering. |

Hello everyone. I recently have quite a few dilemmas about what to study and where. I've just done my foundation in science program at Aimst University, and i'm looking into Medicine, Dentistry or Pharmacy.
I was told that nowadays, being a doctor is not as good as previously anymore. I was even told that doctors working as if they are slaves in the hospitals and the pay and increment is quite bad. And I even found out that to be a specialists now graduating from a not-so-famous University is almost impossible and very hard to find a job now or even get a license bcos there are just too many doctors! Anyone can help me to verify all these?? Then I was looking into Dentistry. The tuition fees is very expensive. I know Dentistry is not as stressfull and busy as doctors even during study times, am i right? Are there any suggestions of Universities besides Aimst University that are not too expensive? Pharmacy I know it offers a stable job and income, and no as busy as doctors as well. But how's the demand of pharmacists the field now? As for what i know, there are many pharmacists nowadys and getting more already. I saw many countries are in demand of accountants and stuff, but no pharmacist! And also where should I study at? I actually planned to go overseas after i've finished my studies regardless of what degree i'll be holding on. I hope someone can do a short analysis for me. About the salary, the demand and the working conditions after I've graduated for any of the 3 courses. By the way, I've got a cgpa of 4.0 for my FIS program. Also, I'm worried about not being able to handle the courses and my ptptn loan wont be funding me anymore. If that's the case, i wont be able to continue my studies. Monash is in my consideration as well, but the intake is february which is very late. Please help, this is very urgent! thanks =) |

what i can say to you is doctor and pharmacist are nearly being saturated for the market, tats why you can see the government has done some changes in their policies in order to suit the changes of the market.For dentistry, so far i heard it is still a good pay job,so if you really interested in such field ,i can foresee tat dentistry is not a bad road

Besides financial problems, I am worried that I cannot cope with it. I NEED the ptptn loan to continue to study. |
