I am currently thinking of attending the bachelor of science program. Could someone please enlighten me on how the overall experience as a bachelor of science student was? I came from one of the top schools in Singapore and I struggled to excel in Melbourne University.
Not that it was difficult to manage the content, but I felt so isolated most of the time. I came in with bright hopes but now I am not so sure. Although international students are not the majority, I almost always see more international students than locals in my class.
This supposedly leads to a more global outlook, but groupwork settings are difficult and not enough support is given to these students as well to manage and adjust to the environment.
I took on a big study loan to come here, and seem to have given myself more problems. Thinking of doing Architecture in uni Mel in I would like to know more about this course. Do they train students to be world ready? Will you continue your masters there? Or will you go somewhere else? Appreciate your frank reply. Be as frank as possible.
Tks so much! Like someone said earlier, the title comes from churning out research papers which the University spend all their undergraduate tuition fees to fund.
The non-specialised bachelors were appealing towards a highschool graduate who was uncertain on what career to go into. The broad bachelors are advertised for students who want to explore and find what they really want to do.
Honestly, I realised this is just a monetary ploy. As most graduates say, you cant do anything with a bachelor in Science or Arts — the two largest cohorts in UoM, they simply wont give you any sort of accreditation. Psychology, engineering, neuro, vet etc forces you to do a masters to be registered, meaning the Bachelor of Science major in psychology will maybe if youre lucky get you a job in a counseling centre at the most.
Same goes for engineering and other majors. Because Masters courses are very, very expensive. So if you have an inkling of an idea of what you want to do, I strongy recommend you do that course in another University.
There is a reason why Unimelb has the highest number of international students. The evidence for this is the Trinity College bridging study for internationals, where the english requirements for enrolment are way below the standard international student admission. Its great there is a multicultural community, but are the intentions of the University really multiculturalism or enrolment fees?
The teaching staff is also a severe problem. Most lecturers are part time researchers and part time lecturers, and they teach as if the University is forcing them to. Many lectures are juggling up to 4 different subjects and almost all subjucts have different lecturers.
Dont bother sending emails because some will not respond at all. This has got to the point where students are enrolling in subjects JUST because the lecturer is rumoured to be good.
Due to the switching of lecturers, in some subjects there is no coherence whatsoever, and the same content is repeated constantly between lecturers.
On top of that, there has been protests in campus recently due to underpaying staff. Yes I agree with all of this. Im doing bachelor of science but hoping to major in maths. I had a really good tutor this semester for linear algebra so thats a plus I guess, but I still failed the subject. The constantly changing lecturers are also really really really annoying. I had one really great lecturer at the start of the semester and was understanding everything, and then we changed to this guy who could barely even speak English and seemed like he was questioning if what he was saying was right and often rue-loaded examples which students had pointed out were incorrect, im fine with a mistake, but when its all the time?
Whats worse is that each lecturer has a somewhat or very different style, so you need to keep up with each lecturers style and readjust each time its changed, as well as doing all the required work. Its really frustrating when you spend so much money on the uni course and end up having to look everything up online anyway.
Transferred to Melb Uni. I was so overwhelmed and miserable I dropped out and went back to my old uni. The course content was great and the campus was beautiful, but the workload was impossible. Students, and even some professors, were extremely snobby and condescending. Somebody please answer, is it true? And if so what are the conditions? Placements were organised for me, and one was close while one was quite a distance.
However, I do understand the difficulties they face in sourcing qualified supervisors that are willing to do the job. The educational staff at MGSE have been extremely personable, willing to discuss issues and fair and reasonable with their marking. One staff member has a reputation for being a very hard marker, and this has brought my marks down somewhat, but I acknowledge that maybe I am just not quite at the level required to complete certain assignments to the high standard they expect.
I struggle with the world load and bad communication in the MTeach and not enough time to study for lantite and these things when we have 9 assignments of words to write in a 6 weeks period. The university and faculty is too crowded, is really hard to find a spot to sit and work, teachers are not really approachable as there are many students and it is really hard to make friends as it is too big.
It seems they also have a prefference for international fee paying studies which are majority from the same two or three nationalities that keep speaking on their language instead of using english and it is hard to communicate. Hi I am about to enrol my child for bachelor of arts Media and communication but after getting all the feedback and negative comments about UNi of Melbourne, I am not too sure now.
The University of Melbourne is a very theoretical university and places a lot of emphasis on intellectual rigour, critical reasoning and analytical analysis. I actually did communications for my undegrad. Great focus ;. It also has many options for internships and subjects that are more practical as well with their assignments. However, it is more theoretical. In comparison, my undergraduate degree at Bond University back on the Gold Coast was far more practical — very practical actually.
There are also great facilities here, the campus layout is beautiful, the staff and students are fantastic and the libraries are brilliant. Very little help given to international students. Considering that majority of students are international, the university needs to put in more effort into understanding their needs and helping them.
To be honest, if you select Melbourne uni, you will spend a lot money on your tuition fee and pls be careful for the subject. Domestic and international students can find more information on the Refunds and Remission of fees page and information about withdrawing from units at Rules Relating to Awards. Please note there are rules and timelines that apply to these processes.
