UWA Vs. Curtin

I might lose a friend, one whom I've always kept dear to my heart.. hurts but nothing much can be done.. really. Like Vonn says.. we're just two people of two total different worlds who happened to meet at a common place and clicked.

Anyway.. was looking through both
UWA and Curtin websites.. didn't find any courses that interested me in Curtin.. I did however find a couple interesting ones in UWA.. which well I would say is good as uncle's working there too.. well.. was pretty interested in Zoology and Wildlife Management.. I guess you can say that I've been heavily influenced by my dad.. sadly my current course has absolutely nothing to do with animals and wildlife.. Sg.. well nah-uh.. how do you even go about finding such courses..? UWA actually offers both in BA.. like wow.. then again if I were to be in Sg.. really limited places to work in.. e.g The Zoo..

Zoology

Zoology is the scientific study of animals. Zoologists are concerned with theoretical topics as diverse as molecular evolution, anatomy, physiology, reproduction, behaviour and community ecology, and with applied aspects that range from fauna conservation and pest management to stream ecology and water quality studies. All units in Zoology are designed to give students a sound knowledge and understanding of animal structure and function, and the evolutionary processes that have engendered animal diversity.
An appreciation of the pivotal relationship between animals and their environment is stressed through the study of biological adaptation, which is reflected in the animals' morphology, physiology and behaviour.


Wildlife Management

Wildlife management incorporates the science and management of wild animals, both rare and common species. Threatened species may require particular knowledge of population structure and processes for effective management, while common species may need control or might be exploited as novel production products.
This degree will give you a good understanding of population and animal biology which will equip you to apply scientific principles to management of wildlife populations or experimentally investigate populations to help develop future management strategies.


There was one course however that baffled me.. Asian studies.. well, to each his own I guess.

Will be meeting Jacques for dinner later and its off to M'sia early tommorrow morn.. :)
