Anyone doing BE/BPharmSc?

[98.40_for_sure]

These two degrees seem like they have nice synergy and could possibly lead to good jobs
If anyone is doing this at the moment or thinking about it, could you give some feedback?

"The engineering component of the course is offered on the Clayton campus. The pharmaceutical science component is offered on the Parkville campus."

i thought you have mentioned you can only go to monash clayton. in this degree you are required to go to parkville to do the pharmaceutical science component

Yeah, 1st and 3rd years @ parkville... i guess if i decide to pursue this course, i'll have to put up with feeling sick on trains for 2 years. But i guess if it leads to a more exciting career, then might be worth it. Or timetabling, shove all the lectures and stuff onto same days so only gotta go to uni a few days a week

A lot of my mates are doing this degree, it is a very good degree. You want to make sure you like chemistry and maths though.

Even though it is a 5 year degree, most people would take 6 or more to complete, since the subjects are all fairly hard and many fail one or two units along the way, especially the engineering ones. [Again, back to the point about engineering, a lot of it is related to programming and maths, you want to make sure you are okay with that before running into it]

Ahh Mao himself says it is a 'very good degree'. That makes me wanna do it now
Tossing up between Eng/Sci and this now... as im 100% sure i wanna do engineering, probably do to with pharmaceuticals, then i disocvered BE/BPharmSc and it seems perfect for what i wanna do. But then i guess ill have to give up BSc (no more astrophysics)
BPharmSc is like chem/maths in one im guessing from looking at the units

bumpie bumpie, anyone else doing this course?

I don't think you can play with your timetable for pharmaceutical science or any of the Monash Parkville courses, it's all auto-allocated for you. If you get sick of the travel just listen to lectures at home and go for practicals and tutorials only.

Umm lets just assume that i do eng/pharmsci, but then i dont like it... would it be easy to transfer to eng/sci @ clayton?
even though the enter req'd for eng/sci is higher? but then the subjects are kinda similar

I think that's a possible solution if you end up not liking it (your course map might need a little tweaking from course advisors), though they'll look more at your uni scores and not your ENTER depending on when you transfer (mid-year or start-of-year). You could easily get credit for chemistry too.

If you are looking at transferring into BE/BSc, you are going to need a 70+ average, and you will be looking at putting on 1~2 extra semesters onto your degree.

I don't mind spending longer at uni, and im not really sure how uni scores work and how hard the course is so yeah...
just worried ill get stuck into something and not be able to transfer

70% average is not as easy as it sounds, esp for a lazy cunt engineering student. sounds like me

[98.40_for_sure]

Hahah if you think 70% average isn't easy then... no chance for me :S i dream of 96.25 enter

[crappy]

lol nah, its certainly do-able if you study and not leave everything to the last minute.

[98.40_for_sure]

Lol i already stuffed up semester 1 hardcore. Need like straight A+ in everything this semester if i wanna get into eng/pharmsc... not to mention eng/sci which is even higher!
