    Double degree or double major?

    I would just do Civil (one degree). This means you will be out working as a graduate engineer in 4 years (not 5.5 for BE/BCom). Once you have chosen your path, after a year or two of work, you can do part-time Masters level coursework (extra engineering specialisation or the current preferred...

    Got a question related to uni degree

    There are now two types of 'Honours' in Engineering. The traditional one is denoted by a number e.g. Honours Class 1, Honours Class 2 Division 1, Hon 2-2, Hon 3. The new one refers to the fact the degree is 4 years. This has come about due to some rule changes with the government. Every 4 year...

    Engineering at UNSW vs USYD

    Project management is part of the straight Civil degree so you don't really need the double degree. Postgrad (Masters) qualification easily trumps a Bachelor degree. Best to choose which one when you finish the Bachelors and do it part time whilst working. Two Bachelors sounds better that...

    Alternative pathways to engineering

    You're probably fine but this may help you or others. Some useful sites for bonus points/flexible entry. Many unis also run uni entry courses that last a year or you can look at TAFE options. UNSW Engineering General...

    Need Clarification - Flexible First Year Engineering

    You need to choose what School/Course you are currently looking at doing e.g. Civil/Mech/Chem... (you are not locked into this). Then, you need to find out the recommended electives for that course. They will be the same as what a student already enrolled in that course would be doing. Do them...

    Will a distinction average in engineering actually grant you first class honours?

    There is no percentage. To get honours you must reach a certain standard (>75 WAM). The standard should not change based on numbers or quality of students. If you got honours in 2000 it will mean the same thing as getting it in 2020. As for individual subjects. Most (not all) are not scaled...

    Get into UNSW Engineering with an ATAR of low 80s?

    Sorry to be the negative one on this, but with the current demand for Civil it is very unlikely that you will get into UNSW through FEAS without extension maths and at least one science. By all means apply but have a good backup plan.

    car parks near unsw

    Note that the parking cops love booking students so don't overstay any limits. Also, avoid parking too close to corners. I have seen them booking cars for that plenty of times as well.

    civil w/ architecture

    You can do any electives except the ones done in architecture due to class size constraints. There is one exception: There is one elective called Project X which you can still do. It is a design course you do in groups with lecturers and students from COFA, architecture and Civil. If you're...

    civil w/ architecture

    You can only do the architecture electives if you are in the Civil (with architecture) degree. The classes are not usually electives. They are actual Architecture classes that Civil put you in. It is about a year of architecture subjects replacing general education and a few other electives...

    Girls in Engineering?

    With that attitude it will be you that struggles on site. From my experience, as long as you know what you are talking about and treat your workers with respect it does not matter if you are male or female.

    Should I repeat year 12?

    Note that doing the HSC again does not negate what you have already done. They look at both.

    Help for B ENG/Commerce

    You need to decide which type of engineering you want to do. Each area provides suggested electives. You should do these so that it makes your life easier later in the course (i.e. you have done the prerequisites for future years). The commerce electives usually start in second year. Civil...
