How i wish all of us are in the same course with the same advance standing.

Anyway, it seems that SIM offers new RMIT course: Bachelor of Business (Logistics & Supply Chain Management), application closing date is 15 June 2012 for local applicants.

For Bachelor of Business (Marketing), application is still open for (Full Programme & Advanced 1 Entry), application closing date is 31 May 2012 for local applicants.

I think I will go with Econs and Finance eventually. But I am quite worried about the large class size.
Teacher: Student Ratio: 1:368?!

For management, it is at a more acceptable size of 1:167.

Hmm, I guess 1st year should be around the same for all business (as in management or econ&fin) students. I compared the modules of management and econs and finance, the common cores of 8 modules are exactly the same. If you choose finance minor, then it would be a total of 12 similar modules. So what I guess that management students will choose the minor from second year onwards. But then again, I may not be correct.

Got such thing? I think it's better if u make a trip down to SIM and ask? Rather than asking them through the phone.

6 months do make a huge difference eh!

Yes. Management students will get choose and do their minor in second year. So those who enter by the advance 1 & 2 routes will get to do their minor in their very first semester.

R u applying management course (Full-time)? If yes, then advanced 2 route does not include marketing principles.

Check this website:
Bachelor's Degree - Bachelor of Business (Management) by RMIT University (Look at programme structure)

-----> there is no tick in the Marketing Principles Module box, so that means students are not required to take this module in advanced 2 route and assumed they have the required knowledge from their diploma course.
I assumed in your dip, u did not study marketing principles or something similar, that y u r required to take the marketing principles module.

I guess u need another 6 months because you cannot squeeze this extra module into the existing 3 semesters of the advance 2 route. RMIT policy is that each semester, a student can only take up till 4 modules. Basically, u r doing this extra module in a semester; only 1 module in 1 semester.

nope I'm not taking the management course.I'm taking marketing. which is why I dont understand. on their website, 1.5years = principles of marketing + 11 other modules. but now I was told I need to take up principles of marketing which will take additional 6months. altogether 12 modules can be completed within 3 semesters. lady told me its a mistake on their part for not updating the system. i mean, if the rest of the prospective students experience the same thing as me, that they have to take 2 years instead of the 1.5years, then Im fine with it. but if I'm the only one that graduates half a year later then there is a very big problem.

letenous, I'm also taking Advanced2 Bachelor in Marketing(FT). I have yet to receive my letter of offer though.
One point to note, I did went down to SIM HQ to register for the course, and the representative that did my registration assured me that it was a 1.5yr course, unless you did not meet certain requirements.

Maybe you would like to go down to SIM HQ to clarify your case? Once I receive my offer, shall update you on my status, to see if there's any difference from yours.

Hope this helps, cheers!
