Whats that meant to mean? My dad will back me during uni as BA Photo is 48 Hours + per week but after uni he wont care.

You are lucky to get that.

My parents havnt backed me financially for anything this year while I have been at uni.

And 48 hours a week? Thats a bit much I think. I know people doing engineering degrees with 5 subjects a semester and they are there for less time than that.

Unless, of course, you do an arts degree...

Photography is an art. So does that count as an arts degree?

RMIT BA is 18 contact/week and they sugest 20 in your own time... I just re did the maths, thats 38

Sam, isn't Urban and Regional Planning a BA where you do it too? I know it is at Curtin where I will be doing it.

Nice work.

Nobody counts the self-study time, it's only the attendance hours (contact hours) which are counted.

Thats not so bad for contact hours. I was at about 20 and they suggested we did another 20 hours work in our own time. Of course, it never happens...

Yeah, it is. Although my course is technically called Urban and Environmental Planning, I come out of it with the exact same qualifications as those doing similar courses anywhere else. Just with a bit of extra environmental knowledge thanks to the uni Im at being mega focussed on it.

Ahh, fair enough... My brother did Planning and he did so little work it's not funny. He still ended up with a heap of high distinctions. Sounds like the course for me!

Well I did not a lot in my 3 subjects this year (planning studio was double credit points) and managed to get two credits and a distinction. But that could be just down to it being first year

Can be misleading though - when I was doing my journalism degree, we had about 16-20 contact hours in the last few semesters, but with work experience, radio station, etc, I was doing about 80+.

No chance we'll see any of your works at a starving artists sale anytime soon then.

Work experience is a hard one - sometimes it's counted towards the contact hours, sometimes it's not.

Geez I remember back to my degree.

My years had the following total of papers.

1st year 9 - 5 in first semester, 4 in second semester.
2nd year 10 - 5 in first semester, 5 in second semester.
3rd year 8 - 2 full year, 3 in first semester, 3 in second semster
4th year 7 + 1 full year project - 3 full year, 2 first semster, 2 second semester

We had abount 28-30 contact hours per week in the lightest semester... but it was pretty consistent. Recommended after hours work was double contact hours... so 56-60 hours additional per week. I just don't know how the heck you'd fit that in! but we sure didn't have lives with the amount of after hours and weekend work we had to do.

After the year was out, we had compulsary work experience (which we had to find and apply for ourselves) of 10 weeks minimum per year over the summer. At the end of that, we have to write a report on its relevance to our degree in general.

I'd say you guys all have it good *grin*

Business degree ftw! 12 contact hours a week, four subjects per semester.
