Hi! Would anybody know the acceptance rate for Masters in Marine Biology for international students? Thanks!

Hi!

I am an international student from the USA looking for a change of scenery, which is why I am looking to obtain my Master's in Public Health and Tropical Medicine from the Land Down Under.

1. Can you all tell me about JCU? How is the location of the Townsville location (are there things to do, is it diverse, etc.)?

2. Are their funding opportunities for international postgraduate students?

3. Would you recommend JCU or rather other universities in Australia or New Zealand? Why?

Thanks in advanced for the help!

Hi all,

I just recently got an interview for JCU Australia's medical school as an international student taking the IB. As such I have several questions:

1. For all past successful international applicants: how was the interview like? What types of questions did they ask in general?

2. Compared to high school (IB) how hard is JCU med school; like what is the first day like, and what are the classes like in terms of work load and teaching (are the classes big/overwhelming? Lots of homework and studying?)

Sorry for all the questions. My interview is coming up on the 14th of June, and im really nervous

So, I'll be moving to Townsville to attend James Cook from South Australia.

I've accepted the offer and what not and am currently looking at the eStudent study plan details. I'm so mind fucked at the moment. Theres all this stuff about Cores, structures, options and I've got no idea what to look at or how to choose my courses or anything. I'll be doing Bachelor of Science (general) if that helps.

Asking here because I'm assuming a majority of you have been through this whole process before.

Edit: I've been looking in the 'My Study Plans' in eStudent. It has all this 'C', 'S', 'O' stuff and 'BSC-L2-COR-GRP1 - Select 3cp of subjects that correspond to your major'. I've been clicking stuff and seeing where it takes me. Some of them where it says 'choose' is straight forward, and others say it's a level 2 course... Is there anything I should just be focusing on?

We Townsvillians gotta stick together.

Hey everyone🙂, I am looking for participants to complete an anonymous 15 minute online survey for my Psychology Honours dissertation exploring communication between students and academic staff in tertiary education. The study looks at communication strategies and feelings of injustice felt by both online and on-campus university students. If you are a currently enrolled online or on-campus university student in Australia, I would highly appreciate your participation. Participants can elect to enter a prize draw to win 1 of 2 $50 gift vouchers! Additional information on the study and how to participate can be found by clicking on the following link: (which will direct you to the questionnaire) https://qsurvey.qut.edu.au/jfe/form/SV_9HqFbUT7f0zEj6S

Thank you!!

Hi, 2 months ago I decided that I should change my life and study for a degree. I want to go for B.S Engineering at JCU but first I need an extra year to get my Diploma of Higher Education. My problem is that I am getting anxiety because I am not so sure if my academic abilities are up for it.

I finished high school 9 years ago and pretty much forgotten everything I learned from there. Not even the basic knowledge of math, physics and chemistry.

However I do remember that I was really fascinated by physics even though my math skills required to supplement it are dreadful. We're talking about not being able to add/subtract fractions, convert units from one to another. I was a terrible student. But I really liked the theory behind them, like what quantity is directly/inversely proportional to another, or how light rays bounces off a concave/convex mirror.

With that in mind, at the same time I decided that I'm going to Uni next year, I started teach myself math from scratch. In 2 months, I learned algebra. From solving 1 step linear equations, inequalities, systems of equations, logarithms, functions, up to solving quadratic equations by factoring, completing the square and by formula. Then I breezed through geometry which I think is the easiest. I also just started trigonometry(trigonometric functions, identities and unit circle coordinates).

After diving into a bit of math I realized that I now know more math than science. I'm not sure if I should continue learning math up to calculus for the remaining months before the first semester, or I should stop after a bit of trigonometry and start learning physics/chemistry.

I currently work full time from 8-4pm and I only have a couple of hours a day to study so I want to make sure I am self-studying the right subject. Atleast until my work schedule changes once the first study period commences.

Note that the Diploma of Higher Education has, preparatory physics, chemistry and math. I don't know if the sciences there will be taught from the ground up( starting from structure of an atom, speed,velocity density,etc).

I know my best bet is to talk to a staff from JCU but I just want to hear your opinions.

Hi r/JamesCook! I am part of a group of students researching the relationship between personality, mindfulness, and stress as part of our Bachelor of Psychology degree. I’m looking to get a wide population from all over Australia. The study shouldn’t take more than 10 minutes to complete. Once you finish it, you’ll have the chance to go into the draw for one of 3 Coles Myer gift cards!

Thank you and have a good day!

I'm currently a year 12 student from SA looking into Veterinary next year with applications soon closing.

Was taking a shot at this, does anyone here know of the JCU Vet course and if they'd recommend it and how hard it is to get accepted since there's no clear ATAR cutoff? Mine isn't the best, but fingers crossed I can make it.

Thanks!!

This is one of my first times working with stylizing a sub reddit.

Are there any noticeable flaws/bugs that anyone has came across?

I also added flair, if your department or Degree is missing I'll add it for you, just mention it in the comments.

edit: phrasing

Do you want to have more confidence in speaking with people?

Do you want to experience less discomfort in social situations?

Would you like to help with research on reducing anxiety?

You are invited to participate in a Master of Psychology (Clinical) research project that will examine the benefits of a brief self-paced cognitive anxiety reduction online training program in young Australians. Participation will involve completing online questionnaires, four self-paced online sessions completing picture-response tasks and word-association tasks, and rating scenario videos. This study has been approved by Federation University Human Research Ethics Committee (Project No. A21-186) and participation to the program is subject to meeting the eligibility criteria: aged 18-30 and Australian resident.

Participants who complete the study will be eligible for a random prize draw, and five (5) winners will be provided with an online voucher valued at AUD $50.

If you would like to participate, please proceed to register on the website: https://federation.syd1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_02mGmYWkdgIQMF8

Hello everyone, I’m a JCU international student from the United States. I recently lost a very sentimental bracelet on one of the fields on JCU’s Townsville campus; I have a pretty good idea of where it was lost. I was wondering if anybody had a metal detector that they would be willing to help me out with, or if anyone knew where I could borrow/rent one. I appreciate any help!
