With a credit+ GPA average you should be fine.

Not really. All you can really do is compare the handbook of your Universities units to UTS's and see how similar they are in terms of the content (hint look at the learning outcomes and assessment tasks). This will give you a general idea of what can be transferred over. TBH if you go to a half...

Well done, you know how to use inspect element.

TBH, the two best majors in my opinion are inter networking and apps, or data analytics. Companies are dishing out huge dollars for students with data analytics skills, and you can never go wrong with networking and applications. According to some of my friends, business information systems is...

are you referring to If so, then i really don't understand why. EE's only do a tiny bit of programming compared to the SE major. I have met/worked with tons of EE's who can barely code, let alone have enough knowledge to be considered as an SE. The story above is true tho. In my mind...

Sorry, i didn't clarify myself. I can't speak based of UNSW but i did attend UTS for SE and Usyd for comp sci. In CS, you don't actually learn about the process of creating an effective solution for your customer. You only learn the how. You don't learn how to work in a team, how to identify...

Seeing that this post is 2 years old, and you have probaly moved on, you may not use my advice. However this is for any current students with a low WAM/GPA. In my first semester, i did very poorly. So in the second, i came in with a plan. First thing i did was research the shit out of every...

Dude if your still reading this thread i'm gonna give it to you straight. STUFF UNI. University is a waste of time in the current world we live in. Find an area you like and apply for a low level job and work your way up. My brother hated university but loved computers. Got his cisco certificate...

I really don't think this is true. When i was doing a first year programming subject at UTS (programming fundamentals) i made friends with a 4th year who was almost ready to graduate. In his words, he was doing the subject because it should be 'piss easy'. This guy couldn't write 10 lines of...

lmao SE and CS are completely different. Firstly SE's are recognised engineers by engineers Australia, and can move on to become Ieng's and Ceng's, where a Cs degree can't get you. I did 2 years of CS before finally moving to SE. CS is much more theory based, teaching 'how things work', where in...

I was in a similar boat as you a while ago. Doing a degree which was considered to be 'dead end'. I did free internships every summer, volunteered a ton and generally worked a lot in my field. It took me a while, but i found a job in my field. Tbh all university degrees besides maybe engineering...

With engineering electives matter ALOT. Meaning they can help further your knowledge in a specific area to increase possible career options. For example, i study ICT engineering (software). Know to get the most out of my degree, i am using my elective spaces to do all the network security...

Man just spent an hour reading through the older bits of this thread. If any of the old guys are still active, care to update me on your unilife

Don't be fooled by it being called software engineering. There is tons of maths and physics and programming. Personally i found semester 1 quite easy by semester 2 is a big jump. Your doing content heavy maths/physics based subjects. It is engineering after all. However, let me give you a...

gtfo his thread emad lol
