    Is an international studies double degree worth it

    LMAO, as a UTS graduate in China (who previously had a great engineering job in Australia) - found this out the hard way. IMO, not worth 2 years if you care about employment. You can do Bachelor + masters in the same time. Just do a 3 year degree with an exchange year, it is a hassle to...

    Private vs Selective (Which do I choose?)

    If your parent's aren't insanely wealthy, stay at your current school. The 80,000$ would easily afford to give you the tutoring required to get a 99+ ATAR if that's what the family prioritised + the start on a house deposit + probably all the tutoring required to get HDs on all your subjects +...

    Imaginative Writing how to start

    Use Bing AI, Creative mode and ask for draft outline. Edit the draft outline until it is suitable and then ask it to write the whole story & edit as needed. I even tested it out and it gave the same proposed story arch as jimmy for prompt 1 except with a defined plot line and scene.

    What sort of laptop should i purchase as someone who intends to pursue engineering at university?

    I do mechanical, UTS, just finished the course. I bought a dell xps9500 2020 model during covid (before M1 announcement). I then realised that virtually all the assignments requiring CAD are incredibly simple and don't have large computational requirements (though it felt hard at the time). The...

    UNSW or UTS for bachelors of business?

    May as well go to UNSW for the social life boost if all things are equal (including commute times). UTS social life is pretty terrible. I go to UTS. From what I know, its relatively easy to head a major UTS business society if you're so inclined. It's harder at UNSW. Internship opportunties...

    university????? help??????

    The advice to do a little programming course on coursera was golden. Please do that. I don't think people get paid well in IT if they're shit coders tbh. Your aim is to survive in Sydney independently without living with your parents ? Are you eligible for youth allowance?

    UTS Women in Engineering and IT Scholarship vs UNSW Computer Science

    The latter. The jobs at the big 4 banks are quite good as well for software. I think it's about 100k grad salary at commbank (not sure if bonuses are on top of that) based off my friends experience. WFH, working hours not too long.

    UTS Women in Engineering and IT Scholarship vs UNSW Computer Science

    I do mechanical engineering at UTS. x-bf does UNSW compsci, BF did UTS compsci. Are you thinking about the 66,000$ UTS WiEIT scholarship? 100% no competition, no doubt it goes to UTS WiEIT. Following the other commenters comment, employers in this field don't really give a damn about your...

    Hypothesis?

    I would put it in, almost certainly yes. But, this type of question depends on teacher's marking preferences.

    Early entry application help!

    Question 3: Along with your previous experience, for Number 3. Name drop the internal organisations you plan on joining and why. Eg. University societies. Even say you plan on becoming an executive of a society for example & a reason why you want to do so. Sometimes there are also internal...

    bad atar scenario

    That isn't including bonus marks. Almost always at least 5 bonus marks should be able to achieved, making an 85 effectively a 90. Majors are pretty easy to swap for engineering without loss assuming acute subject planning. An 85 will bring you to unsw general engineering with 5 bonus marks -...

    Which school? Also with an 85 you can basically get into every degree except medicine & scholarship programs.

    honestly i’m so torn on what to do at uni. can you still get a job as a teacher with a diploma of education?

    UNSW 1.3yr masters is accredited btw. You can become a teacher with it. Masters has more reputation than diploma. Not sure how relevant that is domestically. Masters is theoretically meant to be longer than a diploma. But, masters programs are getting shorter and shorter to attract students...

    honestly i’m so torn on what to do at uni. can you still get a job as a teacher with a diploma of education?

    I would personally do a normal 3 year degree in a field of my choice, then, do the Education masters at UNSW which is 1.3 years. (Or at any other uni whose masters is ~1yr) In total, 4.3 years and you get Master's rather than bachelors (this is definitely relevant if you want to teach...

    Can I do a bachelor of science and major in chem without doing HSC chem?

    The social expectation of going to university, the pressue to conform to socital expectations. You essentially purchase social status by going to university as well. Ppl just pick their best HSC subject as their degree all the time. Sometimes having a generic university degree is a...
