       Yep! It's going to have all the architecture and urban planning
       etc content. Curious to see how this will go for UoM since I
       hear that RMIT has a bit of a reputation as a 'design' uni while
       UoM is more about research and theoretical stuff (however not
       sure if there's truth to this since it's been 4 weeks)

       Hey Tash!
       Oh...so UoM will have a BDes from next year? I'm super behind on
       my uni work, at least 2 weeks behind (looks like it currently
       takes me two weeks to learn and understand my content). Not
       surprising as it was kind of the same in VCE for me.
       [/quote]
       The course content for the subjects I am currently taking are
       very very dense
       [/quote]
       oh what do you guys study?

       Engineering and Commerce at Monash. Not sure on majors and
       specialisations yet, but I'm probably going to specialise in
       Civil Engineering (Traffic/Transport Engineering maybe ???), and
       maybe major in Finance, and minor in Economics or Accounting or
       something.

       Yeah, that's what I thought as well. Guess I'll find out soon
       enough haha.
       Probably Physics. At the moment I'm looking at that being one of
       my majors. Not sure on the other one yet.  Microbiology sounds
       pretty cool!

       Environments sounds cool. Don't really know much about it. What
       kind of things can you study in it?
       Don't worry, I'm behind on work as well aha

       just off the top of my head some of the majors are architecture,
       urban planning, environmental science, systems engineering,
       spatial systems, property, landscape architecture, construction
       etc...
       it's hard to explain the course to people but it's essentially
       about the connections between the built and natural environments
       and all the fields within that (hence, environments)
       it's a pathway to engineering, but I feel like most people go
       the BSc way

       From what I understand, its usually used as a pathway to
       postgraduate (Masters level) Architecture and Civil Engineering.
       I imagine its more design based, than science or maths. However,
       like most undergrads, it looks really flexible.

       Yeah pretty much but you actually need to do science, maths and
       other units for some majors, because I will be (such as
       calculus, economics and chemistry) so it's like you're getting a
       taste of the BSc in a specialised way?

       Thats good though, less contact hours.. Is it true that there
       are no tutorials in second year? :)

       Haha, nice jaffy move ;)
       Good luck with them though! I think I am ready for the Biology

       I joined bio late so I'm still so behind, winging my VCE
       knowledge has only gotten me so far... :/ The other is
       geology/natural environments which isn't too bad but I'm also
       behind in that
