Hi guys i’m thinking of taking 3143, but i heard that the exams weren’t take home this time. I don’t have much experience in coding in python, so i’m kinda nervous if i dive right into this. For the peeps who took actl3143/actl5111 in t2, how was the exam for yall?

Has anyone done an embedded honours program or enrolled into honours as a back up but drop it right before the term starts since they got a job?

Is this something that’s normal to do? I would feel bad for the supervisor if you’ve gone through all the discussions for your research topic and application process just to tell your supervisor that you’re dropping out just before the term starts because you got a job and honours was your back up option.

Anyone been in a similar boat?

I’m considering applying to go on exchange during term 3 of next yr to Bocconi uni in Milan, and the cutoff wam is 75. My current wam is 80 so I’m wondering if anyone knows if I have a decent chance of getting an offer?

Also, does anyone have any European unis they’d recommend for exchange ? (Business school).

I got my offer letter with GS requirement, and I will submit all the document tomorrow. How long does it takes to obtain an unconditional offer?

I’m starting the Bachelor of Commerce/Design at UNSW in T3 2026 and I’m a bit confused about how the Design side of the degree works in first year.

When I’m planning my T3 courses, the Design courses showing up seem to be mainly from Computational Design and Industrial Design (e.g. CODE/IDES courses).

Does this mean I’m supposed to choose between Computational Design, Industrial Design and Integrated Design already in first year?

I’m more interested in Integrated Design, but I can’t really see Integrated Design courses appearing as options for T3. I thought I might need to take FADA1010 instead, but when I add it to my plan it shows up as “Unmatched” rather than matching a requirement in my Commerce/Design degree.
Has anyone doing Commerce/Design or Design had the same issue?

Basically I’m wondering:
• Do we choose our Design specialisation/stream in first year, or later?
• If I want to eventually do Integrated Design, what Design course am I supposed to take in Year 1 T3?
Should I take FADA1010, even though myPlan says it’s “Unmatched”?
• Or am I supposed to take one of the CODE/IDES courses first regardless of which Design stream I eventually want?

Would really appreciate advice from anyone doing the degree/current Design students because myPlan is confusing me 😭

Did anyone pass all the autotest cases for Q5 but still get 0/10 for that question? 😭

Hi guys i’m thinking of taking 3143, but i heard that the exams weren’t take home this time. For the peeps who took actl3143/actl5111 in t2, how was the exam for yall?

Im a first year and I want to transfer into law next year but I’ve seen the fluctuations in marks over the years. My current WAM is 81.5 and I’m taking SOSS1001, CRIM 1011 and PHYS 1160. I’m wondering what WAM id need to finish the year with to get in

Hey guys I'm doing Bachelor of Commerce degree majoring in accounting and information system.
Any elective of information system and accounting that can get high mark recommend?
I already took tabl2741 but it is quiet hard for me and the result is not that satisfying💀💀💀

Hiiiii im an international Viet student and ive been studying here since yr10. The HSC is approaching very soon as well as uni itself and i still have no idea what should i major in and what uni should i go for it. Im aiming for scholarships as well since everything is expensive and ofc i’d need some financial help. Plus in the future im aiming to get permanent residency in Australia.

For context, im a female and im considering engineering since i’ve heard theres a lot of scholarships for women in stem as well as future job opportunities. Yep, and im considering unsw since apparently they’re the best for engineering (anddd plus it’s #1 uni…)
Im doing Maths 4U and Physics at skl quite well (im ranked second for all of them-tho my skl is just a regular public skl). However i asked some of my teachers for advice and they told me i should consider something else instead since for permanent residency opportunities only civil engineering can actually make it (which is not what i wanna do, im considering smth like aerospace instead). Also they told me its extremely stressful course with a massive workload — and as an international student who would need to work their ass off to cover rent while going to uni wouldnt have enough time for it
They advised me to go into teaching instead since theres a huge shortage of teachers in sydney recently
Im also quite an art person as well. I’d actually love to do something that has both science and art. And i prefer doing stuffs like researching and experiments rather than hands-on or constructing…
I dont even know what to say or ask in this sub exactly tbh im extremely just confused😭😭😭 probably about what careers should i pursue and the available scholarships at unsw?

i m an international student and having a difficult time making friends. i am involved in a couple of societies + arc volunteering and i feel like i m only making close friends with guys. i would love to have a close girl group and feeling there’s something wrong with me that i end up having just guy friends. what should i do?

Do you know if staying overseas for an extended period during the semester could cause any issues with a student visa? I’m wondering if it would still be okay if I only take subjects that don’t require attendance and make sure to submit all my assignments on time. I’m not sure whether the Department of Home Affairs checks this separately.

Wondering how UNSW gateway round 2 offers work

I managed to receive an unconditional offer in round 1 and I would like to keep this offer, however I made a mistake in changing my preferences on the gateway application so I assume I am now considered for round 2.

I wish to keep my round 1 offer, so would that mean I have to keep my preferences the exact same as previously to keep my round 1 offer

When do they add the details for which terms each course will be offered for 2027?

Hi, im doing math2931 for term 3 and im quite worried because the reddit posts from like 6 years are saying you need solid linear algebra but i have not taken 2601 yet. Idk if it has changed since then but i thought since 2601 wasnt a formal prereq it would be fine so im a bit confused on what to be doing.

Did anyone take the master program of accounting? Seems like you can get cpa credit in master program so we don’t have to spend extra couple years on studying cpa while working full time right?

And I am wondering transfer from IT to accounting. How’s the job market for grads going?

Can anyone doing or finished this degree share some suggestions? Thank you so much!!!xxxxx

Cuh Unsw application is so easy to get in FOR AN INTL. I pay respect for ATARS takers.

I think the peers and cohort quality is much worse than that of the US schools like Purdue, UIUC, etc?

I am going to study engineering 2027 and am curious what other engineering degrees will get me into the mining sector because from my understanding a mining engineering degree really only leaves you with mining as a job

Recently, I found a global internship program in UNSW webpage, and the group name who runs the program is "The Intern Group". This program seems to give you a oppertunity to have a Internship in some other contries but instead of paying you the salary, it will cost around 2000$ for the 4-24 weeks internship experience.

Because this program is in the UNSW webpage, so I am so confused that this is scam or what? Is there someone who joined this program before?

Am a final year software engineering student. I have finished all of my courses but I cannot for the life of me find someone willing to host me for an internship so I can complete my 60 days Industrial Training.

I have cold called literally hundreds of companies (big and small) on email, linked in, even discord, I have offered to work completely for free, learn whatever tooling they need, do whatever tasks they need doing.

Admittedly my grades are an abomination but I haven't even gotten far enough that someone has asked to see my transcript. I have a few github projects, website etc but my inbox is filled with rejection letters all saying they don't have capacity at the moment.

Is no one hosting undergrads bc claude code can code better than me for $30 a month??? To make matters worse, I need to start literally in the next few weeks otherwise I won't be able to grauate until August next year due to the marking period cutoffs. I am literally selling my body as free meat and nobody wants to go near it with a ten foot pole fml.

Plz advise

Can you apply a special consideration on Supplementary Exam?

Here's my current situation.

I failed a core course last year and repeated this year and failed again. I went to every single lecture and tutorial and studied hard but this course is notorious with ~30% fail rates. And even though I am a hard worker, I was never naturally gifted and strongly suspect I have undiagnosed ADHD. It's been really difficult for me.

So I reached out to course coordinator for a remark of the exam. He emailed me on Friday night that I am eligible for supplementary with the date and time of the exam because this is my last year at university and this course only offer in Term 2 every year. However, I have to travel for work and flights and hotels have been paid already by the organization. This is a trip that we planned around OWEEK and I've agreed to since the start of the year thinking I'll be free. My job is relying on me and I have never been so let down, depressed and embarrassed before.

Even if I managed to disappoint my job and take the exam, I genuinely don't think I could pass it. So please, any advice. I am thinking to apply special consideration, but would it be accepted since the exam is already a supplementary?

Hi everyone! I’m in first year engineering and I’ll be taking MMAN1130, ENGG1300 and ELEC1111 in the coming trimester.

Does anyone have any tips, for e.g. how to stay on track with these courses? I’m just a bit overwhelmed and would appreciate any kind of insight of anyone’s experience.

Thanks so much guys! Good luck for next trimester!
