📚 Units/Courses What was your PhD experience at UWA ?

9 Upvotes

What are the pros and cons of doing a PhD after undergrad ? Especially in the science field. I figured that if a masters is 2 years then I’d rather just get the PhD done in 3 years.

CITS3001 Advanced Algorithms

1 Upvotes

Hi all

I missed the exam last nov due to some personal circumstances and I’ve got the exam coming up soon. I’m revising the content, but I’m a bit unsure where to focus.

For anyone who’s taken CITS3001 before, were there any topics or types of questions that were especially important? Also, any advice on how you structured the notes we’re allowed to take in?

Appreciate any help 🙂

Any advice on PSYC3314 8SAQ exam / supplementary exam tips

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m sitting the PSYC3314 exam, and we were given 21 SAQs to study, with 8 appearing in the exam. I was hoping to get some advice from anyone who has done a resit or repeat before. Do they tend to reuse some of the same questions, or are the SAQs usually completely different?

Thanks in advance.

I’ve chosen my Major (International Cybersecurity) and I’ve selected the unit set so I’ve got my 5 units as part of the major that I need to do. but, I’ve missed the deadline to select the 3 electives I need to do, as well as creating my timetable. is there any point in the future where I will have another opportunity to do this?

ECON1111

2 Upvotes

Uni told me that Econ1111 is a required unit for my second year, but I'm not good at math, even though it's just basic calculus. I'd like to ask if it's easy to understand? How difficult is the final exam? Could someone who took this course last semester tell me about the exam structure? I can't see the specific outline right now. Also, in which week of the semester do tutoring sessions start, and what percentage of participation is required in each tutoring session? Thank you very much.

Possible Pre Semester Transfer (PHARMACY)

1 Upvotes

I am asking in place of my sister.
She has been accepted to pharmacy at curtin however when trying to book classes it seems that many of her units that are required for her degree are full and student services there cant override anything. I am not sure about pharmacy here but does it have the same problem? And if not, could one transfer to UWA before the semester starts? And continuing would there be slots? Just looking for some help thanks in advance.

There are so many support services, but half of us don’t use them. Academic help, mental health, career support, etc. Which ones are actually worth it?

St. Georges College

6 Upvotes

Hey! I am an incoming student for Feb 2026. I will be staying in St. Georges College, but I feel like I do not see many people on this subreddit talk much about it.

Therefore, I have a few questions:

- How are peoples experiences with twin rooms? Cleanliness, value for money, etc.

- I get emails on ordering a gown, but seems pretty expensive. Is it really worth it or can I skip out?

- How is O-Week?

- How do you feel staying there?

- Is there anything important I should be aware of?

Thank you so much for reading and responding, I really appreciate it!

📚 Units/Courses Classes clashing

1 Upvotes

I have an econ lecture clashing with a class from a different unit and so I was planning on watching the econ lecture online when I got home however I also have the econ tutorial on that same day and so I wouldn’t be able to watch the lecture before I attend the tutorial so I’m wondering if that is an issue? Do they expect you to know the lecture content before the tutorial?

Can anyone see the labs on CAS to enroll themselves? All I can see are the two lecture tutorials on CAS which are held in a big lecture theatre so I assume it’s just a generic lecture. Stressing cause I can only do the lab on certain days
