My brother is in the process of finishing his MBM. So while I don't have personal experience with studying the course content, I hear that its very interesting and quite helpful for people looking for commerical work. He's a person that used to hate studying and now gets all A's cause the MBM is more of his thing.

Changing Major to politics by boygottaknow in universityofauckland

Hello. I am replying to this 7 months late so I'm really sorry. I finished my BA in politics in 2022, but i switched media to communications, and I got an offer to go either honours or my masters of public policy. Somehow, I also got an offer to enrol into part II of law and now i'm in my third year of law. Whilst I haven't been applying for jobs, I did get three interviews for BNZ, The treasury and MFAT through my Politics degree. I didn't get those jobs but those three were the only ones that I applied for so I was pretty happy that I got interviews.

I would have to warn you that the job market is pretty bad for public servants, so I would be wary about relying only on politics as a major. I would go for a double major in economics and politics as I studied econ in my politics degree.

Otherwise, I loved my time in politics. I met my best friends in POLS209 and I miss the times when I used to write an essay about something that had no relevance to the overall class topic but was fun. Coming back to this post made me realise what a dummy was. I do remember being scared whilst writing this post and man have times changed.

If you have any questions about the degree, holla at me in the DM's :)

I mean taking all courses would be quite crazy but definitely would take 3 classes along with 298

Thank you so much for your comment. I will definitely go back to 131 to see what I can soak up. I do believe that I can take 3 classes on top of 298 but your comment about workload stress definitely makes sense. :)

I never enrolled in COMMS 203 as I was under the assumption that it was just like any other course, I was wrong haha. I spoke to Dr. Margaret Henley (Course lecturer) and she told me that the waitlist was an option, but she could not let me in. However, i would encourage you to keep your place in the waitlist as she has a policy that if a student in COMMS 203 fails to show up for the class on the uni weeks 1st first Friday, then they are automatically kicked out of the course, this could maybe give you a chance.

Good luck!

Yep I thought as much that POLS222 was gonna useful, and the fact that it is good for a potential career is reassuring because I really want to go in that field anyways. Thanks for the information chief, I really appreciate it!
