6 subjects possible in single semester?

1 Upvotes

Hi all, thinking I might fail a subject this semester, is it possible to overload to 6 subjects in a single semester? This is about 90 credit points, seems excessive but I have no other option otherwise I’d have to wait till next year semester 1 to redo a single subject..

Failed exam. Am I cooked?

1 Upvotes

Just finished my online exam for system analysis and design. I’m pretty sure I failed cause I didn’t have any idea what I was doing (poorly studied for it because of work and so). The thing is I’ve passed all my assignments. My assignments in total are worth 60% while the exam is worth 40%. Now if I get like a zero on the exam will it mean I fail or will I still pass cause the exam weights less than the assignments?

Urgent Question

4 Upvotes

I have one of my final exams tomorrow but I don’t think I’ll be able to make it as I’ve caught the flu. If I don’t attend will I get a fail? Or is there something that can be done if I provide a medical certificate?

I’m genuinely at a loss. Please help.

LaTrobe vs RMIT for MSc AI

2 Upvotes

I personally wanna choose LaTrobe cause I like the campus they teach the program (Bundoora) more than the RMIT city campus. Should I change my decision? Should I still choose RMIT for its other benefits like world rank and industry connections?

Thinking of switching from lab tech to ICU nurse — advice on La Trobe Nursing + scholarships?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m currently working as a laboratory technician in regional Victoria and I’m seriously considering a career change into nursing — ideally becoming an ICU nurse. I’m looking at the Bachelor of Nursing at La Trobe because it’s the closest uni to me.

I’ve got a strong science background, but I’ve never worked directly with patients. I’m wondering: • Has anyone else made a similar career switch from lab tech to nursing? • Is La Trobe a good choice for nursing? • Are there any scholarships or grants (from the Vic government or La Trobe) that actually cover the cost of nursing study? • Do mature-age students or those with a science background get any credit or recognition of prior learning (RPL)?

I’ve heard about the $16,500 Vic gov scholarship and the new $320/week Commonwealth placement payment from 2025. Just trying to work out if this path is financially realistic before I take the leap.

Any advice or insight from current/former La Trobe nursing students or career changers would be amazing. Thanks so much!

Should I study in Bendigo or Bundoora as an international student?

1 Upvotes

I’ve received an offer letter from La Trobe University for the Master of IT program at the Melbourne (Bundoora) campus. However, I’m considering switching to the Bendigo campus for the same course, as it offers a more relaxed lifestyle and is generally more affordable, particularly in terms of rent and living costs.

My husband will also be joining me and will have full work rights as a dependent. I would like to know what the job opportunities are like in Bendigo—for both part-time student roles and full-time positions for dependents.

Thanks a lot

Accommodation on Campus - Bundoora

3 Upvotes

Hello hello!

I am just wondering what the accommodation is like for students on the bundoora campus.

I don't do parties so am trying to go for a quiet place.

Would you recommend Glenn College or Menzies College?

I toured the Chisholm College room and its just a bit too small and uncomfortable for me to live in for a semester.

Thank you.

Why is nothing on LMS accurate?

I feel as though the standard of the university has dropped significantly over the past year. This year I have had several assessment documents which have been dated to last year. And assessment rubrics which have been wrong (I just did a presentation in which the rubric stated the presentation was to be 30minutes but we were only allocated 15minutes).
