"Class registration opens 4 weeks before the start of each study period."

So I guess late Jan is a good indication..?

Hmm.. I am sure this has been mentioned before and I can't find where but does anyone have the date for timetabling for Sem 1 2013?

Class registration
Summer semester 2013: from 10am, 3 December 2012
Semester 1 2013: from 10am, 28 January 2013
Semester 2 2013: from 10am, 1 July 2013 (to be confirmed)

That should be the date I think? :)

Hurro, people.

Due to the Melb model, you have to complete the undergrad part (3 years) with an average of at least 65% (for example) to get into the master's program.
If you don't achieve this, does that mean you basically have a half-assed useless degree and you've wasted 3 years?

If you're going to university with the aims of getting a 65 average, it's three years wasted regardless. You're at Melbourne, man! Make something of it.

I'm not sure about eligibility criteria for Masters programs because I'm looking at an Honours year -> PhD at the moment. I know for Honours, to be competitive, you need to have around an 85% average with extra stuff to make your application look good, which is why I'm trying to get a volunteer internship for second year.

For your reference, an Honours year is the alternative to a Masters, and they'd both be rather competitive to get into.

Because it is stating that the entire 2013 timetable runs from between those two dates inclusive, which includes the 2013 summer semester and hence why it starts on 7 January.  That is different from when the semester 1 timetable opens.

Bachelor of Science (Mathematics & Statistics) - Discrete Mathematics & Operations Research

From 1 January 2013, these areas of study are no longer classified under the National Priorities Band, and therefore all Commonwealth Supported students enrolled in mathematics, statistics and science units of study will be charged at the Band 2 rate.  Based on 2012 rates, the maximum student contribution per EFSTL for these units has increased from $4,520 to $8,050. 

Damn my HECS debt is nearly going to double this year :/

Julia Gillard apparently doesn't value mathematics and science studies -.-

What the absolute fuck.  Sure, double the cost sounds good with your ridiculous union fees on top.

I heard it's because students aren't being motivated to study science and maths just because the subjects are cheaper. Students generally choose courses based on their ambitions/strengths/etc

Nonetheless it absolutely sucks tapir appendage.
The Finnish word pilkunnussija, which translates literally to “comma fucker,” is someone who risks his social wellbeing to annoyingly and persistently point out punctuation errors.

It doesn't affect me too much from 2nd year (Eng courses are Band 2 anyway), but I do feel for straight BBiomed and BSc Sci Majors.

If there are any people here starting MD1 next year, I have my bound notes I'm happy to sell you at a reasonable price, so I can recover some of the cost of printing/binding the damn things
