sport science master's degree

i am currently studying a bachelor of sport and exercise science degree at this university, I was just wondering for someone who aspires to be a professional sports clubs performance coach, which masters degree out of the two following would be most advantageous to me?

- exercise physiology

- strength and conditioning

i am in my second year of this course and am looking to expand my knowledge in the topic, as i have a high passion for the field and want to be able to go as far as i can working in it and want to see the best option for me going forward.

Seeking help from a LaTrobe student

Greetings LaTrobe. I seek your help. I need something from your library. A VHS tape which I have not been able to find anywhere else. I need a student at LaTrobe to borrow it, have it digitized, and send it to me. I will pay any associated costs plus a little extra for your trouble. PM me for details.

In case anyone is wondering, yes, I did ask the library if I could borrow it directly. They will unfortunately only let students borrow it. They won't even send it to my public library or my university library. They suggested that I try to get in touch with a student who can borrow it for me, which is what I'm doing now. Thanks.

Compulsory Module Completion

Hi everyone,

This might be a silly question but I recently completed the Wominjeka module but I realised that I have done it before the commencement of semester 1... does this mean that my completion of the module is invalid?

Thanks in advance!

can't select my desired major.

I got into a bachelors in computer science. when selecting majors on the "manage my course" page, it allows me to choose any of the other 3 majors, but when i choose Software Engineering, it shows an error on the top saying i can't add those subjects, then it continues to request that i select a major. i don't particularly want to do a different major, software engineering is my dream course. Is this a normal issue?

Also, the other majors have like MJR-(numbers/letters)-1, but software has MJR-(etc)-2, is this a problem? genuinely, i have 0 idea on how to fix this if that's what's causing the major to show an error.

finally, i applied through VTAC for compsci majoring in software, and that's what i was selected for. i'm unsure on whether this is important to mention or not. either way, major-related courses aren't showing up on my screen.

thanks for any responses.

This multimodal thing is getting old

I got my Bachelor's at Deakin Uni and decided to look inward to La Trobe Bendigo to do my Masters -- it's closer to home. I was told that my course would be in person -- awesome! I got my Bachelor's during the throws of COVID and this online thing was starting to impact me.

Semester one? All in person. Nice.

Semester two? Uhh... All but one online. Turns out regional La Trobe doesn't get to have certain classes at Bendigo. But the online ones are still considered to be for Bendigo!

Maybe 2025 will be different, right? No. Only one class in person. Again.

What was the point of me leaving Deakin's online studying to do Masters at La Trobe "in person" if in person turns out to be "mostly online"?

Online degree - what does it mean?

Hello this is a newbie question from a mature age student.

I’m deciding between 2 degrees. One is Uni SA online and one is La Trobe with an online option. I will be working full time while studying

With the online degrees are there live classes? Are they normally held during business hours (9 - 5)? Or is it content you can do in your own time?

The Uni SA degree makes it clear that you can do it at the same time as a standard 9-5 job, but I’m struggling to understand how La Trobe online works.

I was slightly leaning towards La Trobe because the degree sounds a bit less specialised than the Uni SA one.

LCR1001 (Criminal Profiling) Unscheduled Online Class is 6 hours??

So I think I understand what an unscheduled online class is (pre-recorded material accomponied by online activies) but most subjects I've looked at have around 1-2 hours a week, while this one has.. 6?? Subject sounds interesting but dedicated 6 hours off-campus time to it every week seems like a randomly disproportionate time compared to everything. Is there something I'm missing?

Seeking Australian volunteers 18+ years of age, for a Music & Mental Health study

Hi all,

I'm conducting a research study on how music and sound affect stress levels and looking for participants from Tasmania (18+). The short 15 minute survey is completely anonymous and involves listening to music/sounds or creating a 3-song playlist before answering questions on stress and anxiety. Your participation will help expand our understanding of music’s impact on well-being across different regions of Australia.

Advice for double degree? (nursing and psychological science)

Hi everyone. I was considering doing a double degree for both nursing and psychology, however my main goal is do to a Masters in psychology (basically the only way to secure a well paying and stable psych job). I am considering nursing as a fallback because of how competitive the honours-masters pathway for psych can be.

Anyone have any experience/thoughts on this? Especially those who did either degree or double degrees. I know both are considerably difficult/stressful courses individually, which is why it may be a poor idea. I am largely concerned about how effective my plan really is, especially in regards to securing a place in honours and my mental health.

Thanks (also posted on deakin's sub)

Latrobe or RMIT for master of IT

Hey.. I am confused about choosing Master of IT at Latrobe or RMIT. Are there better placement opportunities if I study at RMIT? One of my family members stay near Latrobe. So its easier for me to commute to Latrobe but I really want honest opinions about the studies in both the colleges, the difficulty level, etc. Also, the industry based learning option in Latrobe I feel will give me experience which is not there in RMIT. Where is it easier to study? I am an average student.

Time between classes

Probably a stupid question, but if you have classes right after each other, are you expected to literally run to make it there?

For example I have a class that finishes at 2, and the next starts at 2.

And while I’m here, if you’re doing an online class, is there any form of interaction? Or do you just watch your teacher and that’s it?

Hello Everyone, I’ll be joining the Masters of Cybersecurity program at LaTrobe University (Bundoora Campus) for Intake 2 this year. Thought it’d be great to connect with others in the same intake.

Accelerating subjects

I am looking for a way to finish my bachelor degree as fast as possible, ideally between 2-2.5 years (I had been doing a bachelor at a different uni and restart a different bachelor here). Any recommendations on this? I have had a look through short-term subjects but seems like LTU doesn't offer a lot. Thanks everyone.
