Civil Engineering or Physiotherapy? (3 Viewers)

[chaldoo]

I'm interested in both courses but I'm so confused in which to do! What do you guys think I should do?

 

[rumbleroar]

More background please? Maybe like what subjects did you enjoy in high school, etc. and reasons for doing both courses?

 

[Recondit]

Wow this was the exact same position I was in - theyre completely different fields and growing in demand so pick the one you see yourself enjoying during university

Fyi ended up choosing Physio

do you really want to be a glorified masseuse?

Civil engineering, fo sho

 

[kalstar]

Civil!!

 

[chaldoo]

I liked chem, bio and 2 unit

 

[chaldoo]

really! what made you choose physio? Are you enjoying it?

 

[chaldoo]

haha yeah why not!

[chaldoo]

foh real? If I end up doing civil I'm probably going to specialise in either structures or project management, in which I also have to decide between the two

 

[chaldoo]

hmm. is the degree hard? Is it hard to get a credit average?

 

[chaldoo]

But the thing is, my ATAR is not good enough for physio so I need to transfer in uni. Hence, I need to do an easy degree then transfer, or do civil and if my marks are good I'll transfer, but if they're not, I'll still have that degree under my belt. So that's why I'm curious if a credit average is doable in eng.

Engineering is harder than the average uni course.

How'd you go in 2u? You will have to do some math subjects early on which you might find difficult, should probably do a 3u bridging course if you end up doing engineering.

You'll need at least a D average to transfer to usyd physio (and most if not all physio courses)

I got 85 for 2u.
So it would be hard to get a credit average?
Yes, I already have booked for a bridging course at UTS.

 

[chaldoo]

Does that equate to a credit? Do I need to do the bachelor of health science to transfer to uws or usyd? Or it doesn't matter what degree I do?
