昨天到UQ完成了2/26的IELTS考試報名
他們招待處看到很多印刷精美的招生文宣...每本都像雜誌!
我就拿了跟我比較相關的"2010-2011 The Foundation Year"
畢竟就算真的可以在這兒念大學,那也是2012的代誌

今天早上就慢慢翻閱,後來發現....咦? 規定改了?!
我去年申請時我所知道的是在Foundation每仁修五科,兩科必修和三科選修
必修沒得商量---Acedemic English, Mathematic
選修有: Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Accounting, Business Management, Economics, Behavioural Science, Information Thechnology, Research Project
記得當初Petra幫我選Biology, Chemistry, Physics....因為獸醫系就是要看這三科!
當初我所知道的是GPA 6 & IELTS 7 (Speaking 7, Writing 6)就保證有獸醫系名額
雖然真的夭壽難~GPA也才1-7!

不過我剛翻閱了新的,Bachelor of Veterinary Science的要求是:
GPA 6 (Including Biology or Chemistry or Physics) & IELTS 7 (Speaking 7)
所以意思是說Overall 7中只要求口試7? 我可以不用選物理和化學?
本來開心了一下,但是10秒後就想到....除了那三科,其它我好像更沒有必要選...
還有....就算沒有要求其他項最低,IELTS 7的情況下其實也沒有太多擺盪空間...
所以---乖乖念書+早日給它衝到7才是上策!!

看了一下學期才知道原來Foundation有三種課程--
Standard Program...37週,IELTS 5.5
Extended Program...42週,IELTS 5.0
Express Program...27週,IELTS 6.0

January Extended 2010: 2010的1月中到12月初
Feburary Standard 2010: 2010的2月中到12月初
May Express 2010: 2010的5月中到12月初
July Standard 2010: 2010的7月中到2011的6月初
September Express 2010: 2010的9月中到2011的6月初

January Extended 2011: 2011的1月初到12月初
Feburary Standard 2011: 2011的2月中到12月初

剛數了一下,開給Foundation的系所總共有7所45系...
ARTS...
Arts, Creative Arts, *International Studies, *Music

SCIENCE...
Marine Science, Biotechnology, Environmental Science, *Regional and Town Planning, Science, Biomedical Science

NATURAL RESOURCES, AGRICULTURE AND VETERINARY SCIENCE
Agribusiness, Agricultural Science, Applied Science, Environmental Management, Food Technology, *Veterinary Science

BUSINESS, ECONOMICS AND LAW

HEALTH SCIENCE

SOCIAL AND BEHAVIOURAL SCIENCES
Communication, Education--Primary and Middle Years / Secondary, *Human Services, Journalism, *Psychological Science, Social Science, Social Work

有*的就是一年只開一季--February Only

看看去,其他難的又只開一班的都是生命相關...
醫學系要GPA 7 & IELTS 7 (All bands 7)
牙醫系要GPA 6 & IELTS 7 (All bands 7)
藥學系要GPA 6 & IELTS 7 (Speaking 7)
物理治療系要GPA 6 & IELTS 7 (Speaking 7)
那個什麼Speech Pathology的要IELTS 7 (Speaking 8)
HEALTH SCIENCE都要求比較高,但書也很多
但法律系竟然有彈性---GPA 5.5 or GPA 5 & IELTS 7

我選的是Feburary Standard 2011...雖然可以選Express,但想到課程濃縮在一半時間就覺得有點可怕
本來看到時想說其實我應該可以選July Standard 2010或是September Express 2010
但是又發現獸醫系一年只招一次生,所以其實看看....就算我當初選的是Express Program,好像也是會遇到空窗

我只能說...GPA拉高,IELTS拼高選擇就多啊!
