Hello!
I'm currently debating what to do for next year entering university. I am definitely set on going to UNSW (I am currently shortlisted for UNSW Co-op in Comp Sci, and also am eligible for the AAA scholarship, and I also like the campus and teaching style).
I'm just wondering if it is worth doing a double degree in Computer Science + Engineering (Honours), majoring in something like electrical engineering.
Comp Sci is only 3 years, whereas the double degree is 5.
Some questions I had:
- Does anyone have any experience with UNSW Comp Sci standalone, or with the double degree and could share some advice?
- Is it worth taking the double degree and doing honours with the extra 2 year difference?
- Is there a specific engineering major I should take for career opportunities? Or just whatever I find interesting?
I'm mainly just considering about how I will be able to differentiate myself from the big crowd of Computer Science graduates after university - and maybe the double degree would help. But once again I'm not too sure.
Thanks in advance!
