Hello.

I'm looking at the B. Software Engineering at the UNSW, and I'd like to know about the assumed knowledge part.

As far as I've seen everywhere, the assumes/recommended knowledge is given as a general thing for all engineering courses.

I would like to know if it is assumed knowledge specifically for the software engineering source.

I did physics in y11, however dropped at y12. Is it necessary for me to do a bridging course for physics or would I be fine without it?

I'm asking just because I want to be sure one way, as I really don't see where y12 physics comes into software enginnering....unless making game physics engines, but I doubt that's in the course (unless it is??).

I have maths ext 1 & 2 covered, as well as ipt & sdd.


Thanks!

You'll be fine. If anything, year 11 physics is more relevant than year 12 to first year. Don't bother bridging, your math ext 1 and ext 2 will be more than enough. Mathematical background going into engineering is much, much more important than some general physics knowledge you get from the HSC.
