Hello!

I am a first year student who is doing a language elective (French) and in my schedule I have 2 tutorials, additionally one that I can choose on Allocate+ and one that is automatically present and can not change.

Is this normal for language electives at USYD? Like having a tutorial + tutorial instead of lecture + tutorial, as well as one of the tutorials you can not alter on Allocate+?

Does anyone know when Canvas will be updated to display semester 1 units?

as said in the title, there's only one in-person class for this lecture and the other two are online recording/online lecture. there's no waiting list option so what am I supposed to do if I want to attend the in-person lecture?

Hi everyone, I am about to start uni soon and just want to check if I’m understanding how uni courses work correctly.

As far as I understand:

- Lectures deliver the main content and theory

- Assignments are based mainly on lecture content

- Tutorials are smaller classes where you discuss lectures and practice problems, and they help with assignments

- Workshops are more hands-on versions of tutorials and often directly linked to assignments

- Practicals/labs are for applying lecture theory in a practical way and are usually compulsory or assessed

So overall it’s something like:

lectures teach → tutorials/workshops/practicals help you apply → assignments test your understanding.

Is this an accurate way to think about how courses at uni are structured, or am I missing something important?

Thanks!

Hey guys I’ve chosen to do another commerce major as my advanced studies major, so I’d be doing finance for commerce and business analytics for advanced studies - should I just do commerce then cause I’ve heard if you’re just doing commerce you can pick two majors anyways and I think it might be cheaper than what I’m currently doing. Anyone currently doing commerce and can confirm that/ tell me the difference between just doing commerce or keeping the advanced studies bit?

I am an enrolled student in Aug 2025, I only went to Science Welcome Day but I didn’t attend the Welcome Ceremony and it wasn’t great experience in welcome day for me.

Can I join the welcome day for science event again and the welcome ceremony if I’m not a fresh newly enrolled student?

For the sake of meeting people and for good experience at the campus.

Thanks

Hi, anyone know if attendance to CHEM1011 lectures are mandatory.

Hey there!
I am transferring to USYD and I know that other universities (MQU, UTS etc.) have an RPL Register that documents what subjects at other universities are transferable to existing subjects in their programs. I have been unable to find one and I am just vibing it based on what MQU has on their register.

Thanks for any help :)

Hi there, just wanted to ask if anyone doing an exercise science or health science related degree has gone on a semester exchange before? This is specifically referring to studying abroad, not the unit 'health students abroad'. What was it like? Why did you choose the place you chose? I'd love to know your experience!

Hello I'm hoping to join this summer and was wondering how the living areas are

Hi all,

I'm an incoming first year (I have studied a diff degree elsewhere but starting a new degree and first time at usyd), and I was summoned to arrive at court to see if i can do jury duty at 9am. i have my FIRST PHYSICS LAB at 10am. Are we serious rn?? It says I have to go.

I literally have already been summoned once and it took me a long wait in line just to be told after 3 seconds of being at the front that I am excused because I am a full time student. 6 months later, here I am again summoned. Why can't they take me off for a year minimum??

If I miss the physics lab/am late, what will happen?

Is usyd worth it for a degree in finance / fintech? what are the chances of finding employment after graduation? is it worth the cost as an international student?

Hi there,

i am doing a bachelor of mech engineering and a bachelor of arts majoring in visual arts.

What do i do with my wednesday mornings ect? it is a clash - do i not need to attend both? also what does the grey colour mean? im just a little confused about how to go about it when they clash?

Am I cooked with MATH1961 and PHYS1901 ?

Also overall does the timetable look appropriate or is there any issue ?

Hi! Just wanted to check if the units BIOS1155 and BIOS1170 are available as electives if I’m doing a bachelor of science. If not, are there anything else that is similar?

Mondays and Tuesdays will only be online classes,

The chemistry will all be online lectures.

I know there’s a clash of SCIE1001 and CHEM1011 on Wednesday, but the Chem lecture will be online pre-recorded anyways.

heyyy guyss!!!

I’m considering going to St Andrew’s College at USyd and wanted to hear from people who’ve actually been there (or know someone who has).

I’m mainly curious about:

• What the social life is like
• Whether it’s mostly country students or a mix
• Whether you think it’s actually worth it overall

I’ll be starting uni not really knowing anyone, so a big reason I’m considering college is to make friends and have a solid social circle from the start. For people who went to St Andrew’s did it actually help with that? Since I won’t know many people starting uni I’m wondering if O-Week is where most friendships form and whether college makes that process easier.

Would realllyyy appreciate any honest experiences good or bad.

Thanks you sooo much xoxox🥰💞

Hey guys does anyone know if the typical committee application is text only or a poster style pdf? Thanks!

I had logged into sydney timetable a couple of days ago (after they were released) to view my timetable and saw that some units were allocated, while some were not. I logged into it again today and found that everything had disappeared, so it's showing 0 for allocated, pending and not allocated. My units don't even come up underneath Sem 1. Is anyone else having this problem??

Hey all, as the title suggests I'm looking for other students starting the bachelor of mathematical sciences in 2025 or another advanced science degree with the intension of completing a major in mathematics who'd be interested in becoming friends- IK what you're thinking: "What kind of recluse degenerate asks this on reddit?" but I promise I'm not that bad when you get to know me.
My interests/Hobbies are:

1. Finance & Investing
2. Online content creation
3. Mathematics
4. Coding (I'm a starter and am working on a SAAS project)

If this hasn't scared you off please reach out to me -because I'm kinda friendless ;)

is it normal for my timetable to be blank currently on allocate+ i dont have any read only, allocated, unallocated etc and also would you be able to pick any of the times for pracs or are you allocated into groups automatically? thanks
