thehaikubandit Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 So, turns out I am not able to go to uni overseas and I am now looking here. Anyone have any thoughts on UQ for Marine Science? Or the Uni in general? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thehaikubandit Posted May 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 I've been looking, but I was after personal opinions on the uni from previous ib students. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Stark Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 For Marine Science, UQ sounds good simply due to location. Overall, UQ is probably a top-5 uni in Aus imo, after UniMelb, ANU and USyd; it's probably on par with Monash and UNSW overall. In terms of lifestyle and student body, it'd be pretty good, as well.

parths29 Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 how much do you need to get scholarship? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken_Jose Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 I believe, first year of uq will be a breeze. After doing IB, you will feel as if you are on top of everything and much further ahead than other students. I believe you studied HL Chem, Bio and English. From exprience, studying, note taking, prioritizing and organization would not be a problem. All valuable skills you would have developed and find extremely easy. Not saying uni is easy but you have an advantage and thats what IB does to you. I have a friend who is taking Maths at UQ and he did HL Maths in ib, the first year he found it easy. Marine biology would be in my opinion very suitable for you as you did HL Biology. You took the same higher levels as me and you will find that you already have honed all the studying methods, and what suits you and etc that its second hand to you, you just do it. You work hard and you will see benefits from doing the IB when compared to OP students. And plus what you did in CAS is a great bonus say you did volunteering they will like to see that in your application and interview. I am at UQ and studying Medicine, i can contact you if you have further questions Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
