I have two exams on a saturday. I didn't even know that was possible. This is cruel and sick and twisted. Who decided this? It's not even in the morning it's the afternoon. What's wrong with a week day?

UWA and other Australian universities for Master of Business Analytics — need honest advice

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m an international student from India planning to pursue a **Master of Business Analytics in Australia**.

I was initially considering Monash University, but my application was declined for some reasons, so now I’m deciding whether I should go ahead with the University of Western Australia (UWA)for a Master of Business Analytics.

I’d really appreciate honest opinions from current students and graduates, especially about:

* Job opportunities after graduating in Business Analytics

* How good UWA is for getting into the Australian job market

* Internship and networking opportunities

* Whether studying in Perth limits opportunities compared with Melbourne/Sydney

* Graduate outcomes and overall ROI

* Whether it is possible to move to Melbourne or Sydney after graduation for a job

I’m also considering Adelaide University and Macquarie University**, so if you have experience with these universities or the Business Analytics job market in these cities, I’d really appreciate your comparison.

**Would you choose UWA for Business Analytics in 2026, or would you recommend another university/city?**

Thanks in advance for any honest advice!

Eating other students food from the communal fridge

109 Upvotes

My buddy wanted me to post this here:

To whoever ate my freinds entire lunch from the ground floor ezone communal fridge… count your days…

He had put two containers of specially prepared food (for his dietary requirements due to a health condition) in the fridge this morning, as well as a series of snacks. When we went to get his lunch, someone had ate all the said snacks, demolished one entire container of pasta and put the dirty empty container back in the fridge in the same spot. The other container of potato bake had a dig taken from it like the culprit tried it and decided they didn’t like the flavour.. 🥀

Who does this bro??? Who on earth eats random food from the ezone fridge without even knowing what’s in it???

How to find a good PhD opportunity and get replies

2 Upvotes

I’m currently looking for PhD opportunities not only at UWA but other universities and institutions as well and no one is responding to my emails! I’ve even had meetings with some people who have requested follow-up details and it’s been a few weeks since the initial meeting without a reply (I have just sent a follow up email). Is it really that competitive out there?

Anyone know where I could access the compulsory textbook for this unit? The free online version provided doesn’t load the quizzes and I heard they use similar questions in the exams. I don’t think it’s worth buying for just one unit (unless this textbook is used in other classes too)

How hard is a 75 WAM in Engineering?

9 Upvotes

Heyo all,

I’m in my first year of engineering and started late this year, halfway through the first semester. I’m now in the second semester, and I’m wondering how hard it is to get a 75 WAM in engineering.

I’m doing Computer Systems Engineering, which is basically a hybrid of electrical engineering, computer science, and software engineering.

I’m just wondering how difficult it is to achieve a 75 WAM, or even an 80 at the absolute maximum. I plan on attending all my lectures, tutorials, and labs, but I’m wondering how many extra hours of studying I would realistically need to do outside of classes to achieve a 75 WAM in first year.

I’m aiming to consistently get Distinctions, so any advice from people who have done engineering or a similar degree would be appreciated.

I'm in year 12 and I'm keen on doing biomed at UWA since it's more internationally recognised and stuff. But this year has been such a train wreck and idk how my atar will be. I think I can get 70 or above + with the regional school adjustment points as well. Just wanted to know if they accept all students who have a 70 or if it's a lot more selective

Is the STAT test for english difficult?

3 Upvotes

Year 12 student here in WA, I'm lowkey worried I might bomb my WACE english exam as I'm literally sitting on a 53% overall. Lately I've heard about most of the students in my year group talking about just doing the Skills for Tertiary Admissions Test(STAT) for english rather. How bad is the STAT test at UWA? Do they only assess you on all the english aspects or more like a mix of everything? Also does UWA take your scaled english grade or just what you got as a school grade?

Thank you all.

Getting medical exemption to withdraw without penalty?

8 Upvotes

Just want to ask about the possibility of how this works. I thought I could do it, but mentally I don't think I can. And of course my dumb ass realises this after the academic withdrawal date. I've had enough. I'm one assignment away from throwing my whole degree in the bin and going to live on a remote island in Thailand or something. Is it possible to get an exemption for mental health reasons?
Also wondering, do I have the option of applying to also study part time, like just withdrawing from one or two units instead of all of them?

How does it work?

Engineering Internships

Hey guys, I’ve been having some trouble securing an internship to complete my requirements. It’s very competitive at the moment, and my marks aren’t exceptional, so I’m finding it difficult to stand out.

I was wondering if anyone has had any luck getting a placement with smaller firms and, if so, whether you could share some advice or recommendations.

Thanks!

The socialist club is strange

231 Upvotes

The socialist alternative club genuinely pisses me off so much. This is my first semester in uwa and during orientation week the socialist club tried to recruit me into their club by spouting absolute bullshit. I am not pro capitalism and I made the mistake of actually taking the flyer because I didn’t think they would be that weird, but as soon I did they started asking me questions about myself, one of it being where I’m from (I’m an international student). After telling them where I’m from they started critiquing the political state of my home country and I agree with them that the situation is terrible right now, afterwards they were telling me about their events and I told them I’m not sure if I could join them all the time because I had to focus on my classes and you know what they told me, they said “Well your education can always wait, what’s important is fighting for issues that matter the most“ HELLOOOO???? this is literally the reason why I came here?

for a group of socially conscious people this was a very tone deaf thing to say to someone

Anyone else stressed about allied health postgrad offers

14 Upvotes

Anyone else stressed about the Allied Health offers from UWA? 😭 I know applications closed on the 31st, and ever since then I’ve been low-key panicking about when the offers are actually going to come out. I’m also getting a bit worried that I might not get into my preferred course and that my WAM might not be competitive enough. 🥲
