Well I considered, you know, deferring maybe so I could travel.
I would like to do like a gap year but I’m not sure how I’d go with that.
So I guess I’d just go study.
Like to save up and go travelling maybe.
Like take a year off TAFE or uni.
Go on Contiki tour.
I would like to. I don’t know that that’s going to happen though.
I really want to do my course in two years because I want to travel
and also get a job after uni and I want to do that really quick.
I’d actually want to take it slower a bit more because then I go travel, travel around the world.
I think it’s a bit of an advantage to be able to go in early and then be finished
and then be in the workforce earlier than everyone else and earn money.
Swinburne summer and winter are basically ways for students to
slow their degree progress down or speed it up depending on what their requirements are.
I think that’s a really good idea. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yep, yep. I need money.
Definitely work for a bit. Make the money, yeah.
That’s that and I don’t think I could handle just school.
I’d probably like to get a job when I go to uni.
The smarter students realise that if they want to have a good life,
if they want to do some work as well as study, they can’t pack everything into a normal working week.
So they extend their studies out through summer and winter.
Doing the winter subject, it’s a great way to focus simply on one subject
and so you really concentrate entirely on that subject and it often does lead to better results.
It’s made it a lot easier and because it’s at a slower pace just made things more manageable
and I’m able to organise it better as well.
Definitely look at Swinburne because they do offer the extra semesters.
It’s a great way to get your course done quicker.
I say do what suits you. Don’t just go into the guidelines and think that you can’t change anything.
It’s better to tailor the subject out for your own needs so that you get to concentrate on what you love
rather than being told when and what to do as well.
Yeah, I’d say a lot of people would definitely, definitely appreciate being able to speed up a course.
I’d like to work at my own pace and not at another person’s. So I think like just do how I feel.
I think we recognise that students have got very complicated, very full lives now
and they do want to be a little bit more flexible in the way they take their study.
