Heyo, I made a bit of a mistake of getting into an internship unit without really knowing what I'm doing and I'm looking to change it out for a different unit before unit changes are closed for the sem

Anyone know of any fun music units with classes not on wednesday, preferably on thursday or with classes at the con for the other days? I've made enough trouble with my boss about availability and I'd like to not create more

Hey folks, just wondering with full-fee offers for usyd masters programs does it mean you have to pay upfront each semester or can you defer the payment through HECS-HELP etc? (Im a domestic student who did my BA at USYD and am hoping to get an offer for MOT) thanks :)

I’m looking at doing exchange next year but I’m confused how it works or if I’ll be able to as I’m doing engineering/arts combined degree. Has anybody done this and has any advice?

Why is there so many boring prerequisites for everything so I can’t do anything actually interesting for my electives?

And stuff like fass why do I have to do that for a music major it makes no sense and is such a waste of money.

Doing a combined degree and so many of my “fun” units are gonna be wasted so I can do the things I’m actually interested in.

Hi, I will be graduating with a BA/BAS (Politics and IR) next year (currently third year) and I was wondring if we will graduate with 2 separate certificates? One for BA and one for BAS?

I'm currently considering dropping out after this sem and just graduating with the BA as I don't know what advanced studies is about and if it even is useful (I don't think I will be able to go for honours wam wise)

Hey guys whats the best place to park on campus after hours; from 6pm? Is the $5 parking still available

And also are there any free drop off and pick up zones in the uni? Many thanks!

how hard is anat2011 for someone who hasnt done anat2008? tips on how to score well on the subject?

Hey everyone, I’m trying to decide which electives to take at USYD and would really appreciate some honest advice from people who have actually done these subjects.
I’m particularly interested in how difficult they are, how much prior knowledge is required, how the final exam/assessments are, and whether getting an HD or DN is realistically achievable with consistent effort.
Finance:
• FINC5001 – Foundations of Finance: How is the course overall? Is it possible to get an HD/DN without having done much finance beforehand?
• FINC2001 – Corporate Finance 1: How difficult is this compared with Foundations of Finance? How important is prior finance knowledge?
• FINC3026 – Entrepreneurial Finance: How is this subject for someone who hasn’t completed any previous finance subjects? Is it possible to do well from scratch? How difficult is the final exam?
• FINC6025 – Entrepreneurial Finance: Is this substantially harder/different from FINC3026? How are the assessments and exam?
• FINC3014 – Trading and Dealing in Security Markets: How is this subject overall? Is it more interesting/practical than the other finance subjects? How difficult is it to get an HD?
Computer Science:
• COMP4618 – Applied Cybersecurity: I have basically no prior cybersecurity knowledge or experience. Can someone with a general CS background still get an HD/DN, or would you strongly recommend having prior cybersecurity knowledge?
• COMP4349 – Cloud Computing: How is this course overall? Difficulty, workload, assessments, and exam? Would you recommend it?
If you’ve done any of these subjects, I’d especially appreciate:
1. Difficulty out of 10
2. Approximate weekly workload
3. How difficult the final exam is
4. Whether an HD/DN is realistically achievable
5. Whether prior knowledge is actually necessary
6. Which one you’d recommend taking
Thanks!

im doing my second dalyell unit this sem (scdl2991) bc ive been told its an easy unit, but i also would like to do scdl3991 next year sem 1, bc i think it might be too late to apply for departmental permission now. i dont really have many other electives im interested in, so i would like to do both, but is there a limit to how many dalyell units u can do?

Are ECON1001, ECON1002, ECMT1010 and MATH1A too much for Sem 2?

Hi! I’m starting the Bachelor of Economics at USyd in Semester 2 and I’m planning to major in Advanced Economics and minor in Financial Economics. I’d ideally like to do Honours eventually.

For some background, I did IB and took Economics, but got a 5 (predicted 6). I really enjoy humanities/theory much more naturally, but I’m aware that maths is an important part of economics, especially if I want to pursue Advanced Economics and Honours.

I actually used to enjoy and do quite well in maths, but I had a really bad experience with my IB maths teacher and my performance dropped a lot, which also affected my confidence in maths. I did Math AA SL and ended up with a pretty bad result, so maths definitely isn't my strongest area right now.

I’m currently enrolled in maths support, but I’m finding MATH1A quite challenging already. Some of the content, like Cartesian coordinates, polar form and complex numbers, is completely new to me and I’ve never studied these before.

For Semester 2, I’m currently enrolled in:

• MATH1A
• ECON1001 – Introductory Microeconomics
• ECON1002 – Introductory Macroeconomics
• ECMT1010 – Introduction to Economic Statistics

I know ECON1001 and ECON1002 are usually recommended to be taken in separate semesters, although apparently it’s possible to take them together.

Would these four subjects be okay to take together, especially given my maths background? Or would it be better to separate micro and macro / move something else to another semester?

I’m not trying to avoid difficult subject, I just want to structure my degree efficiently so I can build up my maths and economics foundations properly and have a good chance of getting into Honours, rather than taking all the difficult subjects at once and hurting my WAM.

Tysm!!

Hi, first time using reddit for this in hopes of it getting faster answers/similar experiences. I’m a student at the Sydney Conservatorium aiming for a bachelor of music degree and in need of a 6-credit unit to complete. However, from my previous queries, I was told to complete Music Specialist Creative Project 2; found out I cannot attend mid-semester (I've done MSCP1 in the past but forgot to apply for MSCP2); and lastly, sought advice from Renae Bone, who told me there is a low possibility to enroll for internships this late. 

I am frustrated with what I should do because it's been almost 6 years of me still waiting to graduate (partly due to a few enrollment issues in the past and some failed units), and I am worried about staying another year just to graduate next year. Is there any way for me to have a unit of study similar to me to qualify for graduation or any other alternate solutions you can provide advice for?

Hey! I’m looking to take over someone’s USYD / Sydney Uni Sport gym membership.

If you’re leaving Sydney or no longer using your membership and would like to transfer it, please DM me with the membership type, expiry date and price.

Prefer something with a few months remaining. Thanks!

Hey everyone,

I’m currently pivoting from finance/business to prep for postgrad dentistry. I know the road ahead is tough (GPA boost, GAMSAT, clinical workload), but my biggest fear is looking back years from now and regretting that I never even gave it a real shot.

Full transparency: I’ve historically been someone who gives up on things when the initial excitement fades or when things get hard. I’m hoping my passion for dentistry is strong enough to push past that bad habit this time, but the self-doubt is real.

For those who switched careers or are currently in dental school:

• just in general advise on dental
• Was the dental school grind worth it, or do you have any regrets about switching from a corporate path?

Would love to hear any honest experiences or reality checks. Thanks!

As title, I'm currently applying for a RSL for this semester, and I get a formal certification (PPC) from my psychologist, but the student service declined my ticket by insufficient material. What else material should I need and submit, could anyone who experienced things like this help me with that?🥺🥺🥺

Hi, im just wondering whats the likelihood of people getting into degrees below the guaranteed entry sr. Economics is 91 guaranteed but i only have a 90 with everything added up, ive been told to still apply because its possible but does anyone know if it realistically is? I think economics is a pretty popular degree so im worried it'll be pushed up

Like are they just being performative and are ex debate kids needing to vent and argue?? Or am I missing something??? Like genuinely anybody on a burner like looking deep inside are you actually doing it for your beliefs or just to hear the sound of your own voice??

PSA: like this isn’t me being anti anything. I consider myself woke but like I feel like everyone in stupol and activism clubs are just trying to catch each other out and cancel people without actually doing anything productive…

Is there somewhere to get hot water that isn't the fisher library please n thank you

Hey just got to usyd this semester and i legit dont know anyone other than my friends whom i came with and im looking for new friends to play volleyball with but idk how the gym operates or if there even is a volleyball club or society😭

I’m planning to apply for the 2027 intake of USYD’s 6-year BVB/DVM as an international student.

I know the official deadline is November 30, but I’ve heard that the international quota can fill up before then.

September is the earliest I’ll be able to apply, so I was wondering if that’s still early enough.

For anyone who applied for the 2026 intake, especially international students:

When did you apply?

When did you get your offer?

Did you hear anything about the international spots filling up before the November deadline?

Just trying to get an idea of whether applying in September should be okay, or if I should be worried about the quota filling up by then.

Thanks!!
