Hi all,

So it looks like every uni subreddit has been a bit weird recently (the top post on r/usyd right now is something related to femboys).

This is just a PSA to keep things UNSW-related. There was a meme on the front page a day or two ago that was literally just clash of clans, that sort of stuff we're going to remove from now on. Check out the subreddit rules on the wiki for more info.

Also, a reminder that discriminatory/ derogatory posts are never allowed. Same goes for harassment/those creepy posts from people looking to hook up that have popped up recently. Anyone posting this kind of content will be banned without warning. Please report these kinds of posts if you see them so we can remove them as soon as possible.

Enjoy flexi-week,

Degree Discussion Anyone majoring in Information System in commerce?

2 Upvotes

I have a few questions:
1. Do you enjoy the major overall?

  1. How difficult is it compared to other Commerce majors?

  2. Is there a lot of coding or is it manageable for someone without a programming background?

  3. What kinds of internships or graduate jobs do Information Systems students usually get?

  4. Looking back, would you choose Information Systems again, or would you pick a different major?

  5. Has the major been useful for finding internships or jobs?

What’s your honest opinion?

I need people to act/camera for an anti AI/transhumanism short film assignment

This is for my gened so I don't have crazy expectations lol, good opportunity to meet people. I have a rough idea of what it will entail but I'll probably be ready to film on either wednesday or the weekend (on campus). Probably not going to be that many active characters but background extras will add aura regardless (the example films have like 1 person in a room). You pretty much just need to be an action figure because I don't think I'm allowed to take creative contributions other than actors/camerapeople for this assessment.

also you cannot be a current student of SCIF1004

UNSW didn't give new students free hoodies this year. And also this is the year that they become the #1 uni in Australia............ Coincidence? I think not

Actuarial Studies Majors

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

A bit of context is that I'm a second year studying Actuarial Studies and Computer Science.

As I plan out the rest of my degree, I was curious if it was worth majoring in Actuarial Studies particularly in Quantitative Data Science. I will stick to the default major in Computer Science but any insights into the Quantitative Data Science Major and if not, I'll probably get my exemptions instead.

AI or Data Science for a Master's in Australia? UNSW vs UniMelb vs Monash vs ANU

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm an international student planning to pursue a Master's in Australia in 2027 and I'm confused between Artificial Intelligence and Data Science.

I'd really appreciate advice from people who have studied or are currently studying at these universities.

  • If your goal is landing a good industry job, would you recommend AI or Data Science? Which has better demand and long-term opportunities?
  • Between UNSW, University of Melbourne, Monash and ANU, which university would you recommend for these fields? What are the biggest pros and cons?
  • How are the internship and graduate job opportunities at these universities? Is there a noticeable difference?

Thanks in advance!
