@@DearOldWorld weird thing is, I did all the thing one's supposed to do: subscribe, bell, sacrifice a small goat to the Algorithm Gods; apparently nothing worked 🤔

You are genuinely so funny!! I sometimes wonder if you are even funnier in Italian 🤔

@@DearOldWorld you'll have to learn the language to find out 😏

Yes. Where are you Mel?? Do more vlogsssssssss

Please keep in mind that this is just my perspective. On the whole, I personally didn't find the economics lecturers to be very supportive. In part, this is because the cohort for economics/commerce is relatively large and lecturers don't really build a relationship with most students (unless you become a research assistant, tutor, honours student, etc.). To be fair, this is probably my fault as well because I never went to consultation hours, however, the lecturers (on the whole) aren't the kind that seem like they want to help you because they care about you - there were definitely some exceptions to this though. This was very different to my experience with my Arts (Global Development) degree where I was part of a small cohort and built a personal relationship with my lecturers. With those lecturers I felt comfortable enough to discuss my career concerns, debate theories, etc. and you could really tell that they cared about their students. In terms of the quality of education, I think that the Economics curriculum at UNSW is good because there is that quantitative focus. In terms of employability, I think that this is really important as working with data is becoming increasingly important and it gives you some of those 'technical skills'. I can't really say how it compares with other Australian universities as I haven't taken those courses, however, I believe that the University of Sydney may be a bit more theoretical/social-science based. I think that an Economics/Commerce degree does make you quite employable in Sydney, however, what's really important is to build your outside-of-uni experience e.g. internships, part-time work, etc. This outside experience is what employers are looking at these days. Hopefully that was somewhat helpful ☺️ Sorry for the essay 😅

@@DearOldWorld Thank you so so much!! It's great to hear about your expirience...so I can be prepared and make a good choice :) Its a pity that you found the lectures abit impersonal but I'm glad to hear about your perspective on employability. Thanks once again.

@@DearOldWorld Does unsw help with internships and part-time work? Also, is there placement at the end of one's degree if one pursues a business/management course from unsw?

Definitely different!

@@DearOldWorld overall, Australian campuses r different with English campuses ... I didn't know this until I began my work in the uk ... but u r Australian, isn't it? r u back to the uk or ..?

@@shahilagh yeah I am Australian and back here in Sydney. Where are you from?

👀 👀 👀

we can still get bubble tea!!!

Hi linda, yes they do look at your high school results for entry, but it's different for each course. Which course are you interested in? Also, I'm assuming you're not from NSW, so you'll have check your high school results equivalence against the ATAR.

@@DearOldWorld oh im interested in psychology

@@DearOldWorld is it possible to get in unsw if you have like 3.0 gpa?

Hi Linda, I've had a look on the website, and if you are a domestic student I would recommend clicking through this website to find the entry requirements (www.psy.unsw.edu.au/future-students/undergraduate/programs). If you are an international student check this PDF for different entry requirements (www.psy.unsw.edu.au/future-students/undergraduate/programs). Hope this helps

@@DearOldWorld thanksss
