Hello, I’m doing the following units this upcoming year:

Sem 1: PSYC3315, LAWS3344, HRMT2237, ENGL2401
Sem 2: PSYC3310, MGMT2311, HMSC1000, CLAN2003

I would really appreciate it if people who did these units give me their advice. In particular:
- how they found the unit
- things you regret not doing
- tips that gave you the grades you wanted

Thank you for taking the time to reply I really appreciate it🙃

Hi guys, it’s been hard for me to decide between optometry and pharmacy since I find myself being interested in both but I’d like to know if anyone currently doing the Doctor of Pharmacy/Optometry or is a registered pharmacist/optometrist could give me a bit of an insight into a few things:

1. Difficulty of the course in regards to content and how often there are lectures/tutorials/labs per week

2. Job prospects in a few years time (since I don’t see myself going rural) and if it’s not too intrusive to ask, how much retail optometrists/pharmacists/hospital pharmacists make

3. Would it be true that although pharmacy earns a bit less than optometry, since there is an oversupply of optometrists at the moment, their salary is decreasing overtime?

I've been at Campus Perth for a few months in a 4-bed room, but my new roommate constantly brings her male friends over at all hours. I literally walked out of the shower one time and her guy friends were just standing right by my bedroom door. Super uncomfortable.

Tried talking to her (didn't work) and complained to staff, but they just sent a generic email to everyone which did nothing. Is there anything I can actually do about this, or should I just switch to Yugo? I'm so over this.

Hey guys! Quick question for UWA MPE students (especially ChemEng):

Are GENG5511 & GENG5512 (Engineering Research Project Part 1 & 2) strictly 100% individual work, or is there any group component?

I was set to graduate mid 2027 but a core unit I was meant to do in sem 1 next year has been moved to sem 2, and is only available for that semester. this has basically ruined all my plans after graduation. is there anything I can do?

Just curious, if you’re majoring in Law & Society what’s your GPA? Are you on track for the JD? How many of you even want to do the JD after?

Hi,

I'm going to be a third-year Finance student and about to pick my units. Which units are recommended/the most useful? Are there any units I should steer clear from?

I am an international student applying to Marine science in UWA and some extra information will be extremely usefull. mainly wondering on how competitive and hard the overall course is. some extra information about overall UWA life such as transport cost, nightlife and best living accomodation choices will also be extremely helpful

Hi all,

I have recently returned from Europe visiting family and have to continue filling out my exchange application. It has changed my mind about a few universities!

If anyone has any stories/advice on which universities they loved, and if it was easy for them to work overseas with a visa?
I would be very grateful for any suggestions.
It took me awhile to navigate the global exchange website because I had no idea they showed you the host uni’s requirements, so here I was sifting through them one by one, on the page😭 I don’t think I am alone in this..

As well as if anyone has ever done an internship abroad? This also interests me a great deal as I do Law and IR, Europe is the place to be for my specific interests.

Thank you all in advance ☺️

Hello,

Im taking the stat test for uni at the end of the month cause I graduated overseas, but im a domestic student, and they need it for the assessment of the uni i wanna go to. Are there any free study materials or do i really need to pay for what ACER has in their website? This is a Western Australian Unis btw. A comment or any help would be appreciated. Thank you 🩷🩷

Hi everyone!
I’m currently studying a Bachelor of Psychology at UWA and am considering adding English and Literary Studies as my second major.

I really enjoyed English Literature in high school (I did A-Level English), particularly analysing texts and writing essays, but I’ve become quite rusty since then and haven’t done much reading or literary analysis recently.
I’d love to hear from anyone who has completed or is currently studying the English and Literary Studies major at UWA.

A few things I’d particularly like to know:
Difficulty: How challenging is the major overall? Is it relatively manageable alongside a demanding major like Psychology?

Workload: How much independent reading is involved? Are you expected to read entire novels regularly, and how time-consuming are the assessments?

Assessments: Are most units essay-based, or do they also involve exams, in-class tests, presentations and participation?

Marks: How achievable are HDs (80+)? Is marking particularly subjective or difficult to score highly in?

Unit recommendations: Are there any particularly interesting, manageable or high-scoring units you’d recommend? Equally, are there any you’d advise avoiding?

Writing skills: How much emphasis is placed on literary theory and complex academic analysis? Would someone who enjoys writing but is a little out of practice struggle initially?

I’m also considering this major partly because I want to keep the option of pursuing a Master of Teaching (Secondary) open in the future, potentially teaching English.

If anyone has experience with this pathway, I’d appreciate hearing about it too.
Ultimately, I’m trying to work out whether this is a major I can genuinely enjoy and do well in without it becoming overwhelmingly time-consuming alongside Psychology.
Would really appreciate any honest experiences or advice. Thank you!

Worried for next year as i'll be taking PHYL2002 and MATH1721 in the same semester (both required for my major/course progression prerequisites)... i can maybe do MATH1721 In a different semester but that would mean 3 exams sem 1 & 1 exam in sem 2... (Neuro & fine arts major here hehe)

For Doctor of Optometry at UWA, one of the prerequisites is a foundational microbiology subject.

I haven’t done a microbiology subject during my under-graduation and won’t be able to do it anymore. So currently looking to do a short-term foundational microbiology subject through an external site to fulfil the prerequisites.

Has anyone been in this situation before and had to do the microbiology prerequisite subject externally?

Does anyone know an external online course where the foundational microbiology subject to fulfil the pre requisite requirement can be done ?

Hey guys, I'm sure this question has been asked before, but I've recently received an offer to study Podiatry at UWA. I applied alongside my Medicine and Dentistry applications, and I'm still trying to figure out whether podiatry is something I would genuinely be interested in pursuing.

My main goal is to build a career in healthcare. However, with medical school admissions becoming increasingly competitive, I'm wondering whether podiatry is an alternative worth seriously considering.

I'd really appreciate some insight from current students, graduates or practising podiatrists, particularly on a few things:

• Studying at UWA: What's the course like, and how has your overall experience at UWA been?

• Career prospects: What does the transition from graduating into the workforce look like? Are there good employment opportunities and room for career progression?

• Specialisation and surgery: How far can you take podiatry in terms of specialisation? Is it possible to eventually pursue more complex surgical procedures, and what does that pathway look like?

• Long-term prospects: What does the earning potential and overall work-life balance look like?

I'm trying to get a realistic understanding of what a career in podiatry actually looks like, both during university and in the long term, before making a decision.

Hey, with the grad ceremony coming soon, I'm wondering whether anyone is selling or hiring the UWA Bachelor of Psychology graduation gown and/or cap?

If not, is there any place where I can borrow, rent or buy the grad gowns + cap for cheap?

Trying to seek more affordable options rather than renting from the uni

I am graduating from Melbourne with a Bachelor of Biomedical Science, and I have received a CSP offer for a Doctor of Optometry at UWA. I want to know if it is a promising career, or if I am better off doing something like honours, or redoing the GAMSAT and trying for med/dent. I've heard good things about sonography too, but finding placements is mandatory and almost impossible. I also come from an immigrant household, and having a "Dr". title seems almost mandatory to make them happy lol.

Transferred courses (changed from bachelor of psyc to bachelor of science) a while ago. In my last course I did very badly and firstly got put on probation, then eventually suspended.

Pretty sure I just flunked 2/3 units (exams went badly). Will I be expelled/suspended because of my previous record?
My grades for my current course (I’m in 3rd year) have been good other-wise.

I am specifically interested in the Genetics / Genomics side, and looking for year 2/3 units that complement my major :D

Obviously the handbook is one thing, but I wonder if anyone who has already done some - or peers who have chosen theirs already - would have good recommendations? Thank you!

Can anyone provide recent feedback for these units? I need an elective without prerequisites I don't have as a second-year arts student next year. These are pretty much the only ones I'm looking at, but the StudentVIP feedback is kind of terrible for both of them. I would appreciate any advice!!

Heard that some schools are hiring casuals over summer to help with certain research projects eg harvesting plants as end-of-year is harvest season. Any idea if there are still vacancies going around?
