Trying to enrol in University and feel there are a bunch of terms that are new and foreign? Have no idea what a hurdle requirement is or what the difference is between part time and full time study?
In this episode I chat with Steph who has worked in the Tertiary Education industry for over 7 years. She shares insight on common terms we hear in relation to university.
This episode covers:
✅ what the difference between undergraduate, graduate, masters, honours
✅ explaining terms such as bridging course, credit advance standing, requisite waiver, credit points
✅ explaining difference between tutorials, seminars, labs, workshops, lectures
✅ what a WAM or GPA is and how it's calculated
✅ changing courses, changing universities
✅ explaining what a major, minor, elective, breadth track is
✅ terms about uni life: student union, handbook, underloading, overloading, deferred study, study abroad
+ lots more
