Trying to enrol in University and feel there are a bunch of terms that are new and foreign? Have no idea what a hurdle requirement is or what the difference is between part time and full time study? 

In this episode I chat with Steph who has worked in the Tertiary Education industry for over 7 years. She shares insight on common terms we hear in relation to university. 

This episode covers:

✅ what the difference between undergraduate, graduate, masters, honours 

✅ explaining terms such as bridging course, credit advance standing, requisite waiver, credit points 

✅ explaining difference between tutorials, seminars, labs, workshops, lectures

✅ what a WAM or GPA is and how it's calculated 

✅ changing courses, changing universities 

✅ explaining what a major, minor, elective, breadth track is 

✅ terms about uni life: student union, handbook, underloading, overloading, deferred study, study abroad 

+ lots more
