Should i do arts?

[98.40_for_sure]

No... i'm not thinking about doing arts for the pretty ladies.

I wanna do philosophy? (maybe psychology too) but none of the other arts majors

Can you do philosophy subjects as electives in another double degree such as biomed/eng or sci/eng?

or does that mean i have to do eng/arts

[IntoTheNewWorld]

I highly doubt a full on double degree such as biomed/eng or sci/eng will have free electives, Eng/Arts would most likely be the only way to go.

Check out the course maps though but I very highly doubt you'll have frees

Do you think it's worth it to give up biomed or sci (where my interests lie) for an arts degree? i dont have any use for arts besides that one subject i find interesting. but then again... a sci degree or biomed degree isn't very useful either as im most likely not gonna do post grad studies

[TrueTears]

it's really up to you, sci/eng would probs complement well, if you plan on phd'ing eng then the maths stuff you do in sci will be useful. eg, im not pursuing sci any further than bachelors, only doing it because the maths complements well with commerce.

i dont think arts would complement eng that well, they're totally different.

i think its not worth it to do just philosophy if your not going to do anything with it... if your interested then just read books

I'd agree with this. A whole BA is overkill

In terms of complementing, biomed doesn't synergise well with engineering either? so basically eng/sci is the most logical choice yaah?

Your second degree doesn't have to be complementary or logical though. Just do whatever you feel like because you have that Eng degree anyway XD

If my main focus was eng, then would it make sense to go sci? would that help in having a higher GPA or something?

[TrueLight]

well some parts will probably be similar but the other parts would be different.... like some of the chemistry and some of the astrophysics... but yea you don't need to do a double degree if you really like the engineering subjects etc then you can just do engineering.. theres a lot of undergrad companies that want eng students

Would you recommend doing eng/sci initially, then maybe dropping the sci degree after 1st year? (if i feel it's not helping, or useless). thus graduating in 4 years rather than 5. work force earlier

[TrueLight]

well in first year you don't really do much... kinda like yr 12 again... like chm... so you probably wont get much of a feel for science until ur 2nd or 3rd yr

I'm not sure if i should do single degree eng for the common first year, or just go for chem eng straight off the bat. ahh pros and cons in all directions

I don't believe having an Eng/Sci will give you an edge in employment or engineering ability, it's more for personal interest. If your personal interest in exploring an area of Science isn't really that strong, single Eng gives you the rather significant advantage of having the common first year just in case you change your mind about your Eng stream.

Do you think it would be easier to get a higher GPA in single eng degree? i think its >75% or something for the honours. do-able
