Decisions

I found this combined Bachelor and Master degee while looking for something completely different and work related online.

It's offered under HECS CSP. I'd have to check how much leeway i still have there, but it might be doable.

I sent an email to their office yesterday to ask how many contact hours a week there would be, and if it's possible to do the course part-time.

I got a reply today (which, having dealt with admin at Melbourne uni for the past 7 years, astounded me) that it's 8 contact hours, and the course is available part-time, though the timetable has not yet been written.

It's in Bundoora, I don't drive. I also can't survive on less that $550 a week, it might mean cancelling the holiday I'd planned with mc_shamo. I don't know if I could start mid-year instead. If I go part-time it could take eight years to completely finish.

But it's a degree I could do, and I want to do it.

aslan42 and I live 5 minutes away by tram, so if you make a decision and start going, but can't travel by PT all the way home, we have a spare bed for crashing in.

And they have a postgrad information session next Wednesday, while I'm there asking my own questions, I can try to pick up some booklet/brochure things for you if you'd like. :)

If you could pick up a brochure that would be fantastic if you wouldn't mind, I would come on Wednesday but I have rehearsal.

Thanks!

I'll do my best.

In a moment of not having my head screwed on right, the information session is this Wednesday... and applications close on the 30th so I'll post things to you. (Good lord I'm an idiot.)

The tricky part is, of course, that I don't actually know the address that you live at. So e-mail me! quokkaqueen@hotmail.com and we'll sort something out.

Very nice! I'm in a mildly similar situation at the moment, looking at various degrees and all that and contemplating... though with me, it's not so much location and money as it is "am I going to change my mind in another five minutes as has been my wont lately?".

May you have an easier time contemplating than I have had!

When I was panicking about stopping work and doing a degree, my dad said "you're a long time dead" ie if you want to go for it and are prepared for eg no money/holidays, you should! And I am SO EXCITED about my course starting.
