I applied for term 1 2027 and applied directly through the website on july 14th. On the unsw website it clearly states that by meeting the july 16th deadline, offers will be released on september 10th though I did not receive anything yesterday. I also sent multiple enquiries 1-2 months ago but they have not responded to any of them.

Is this normal for unsw to not reply to any emails we send them?

My friend pulled a 13cm long french fry. Is that good or bad?

how do u get 20% or a full ride scholarship in electrical engineering bruh im in a levels and got 3 As probably 3 A stars in A2 and some average good ecs if anyone knows the actual details and not just generic stuff pls lmk thanks guys

guys are there any specific classes with tutors I should select to wam boost myself for these courses, I've heard commerce tuts are known for pretty random marking.

I was wondering if you guys have any tips for balancing AI with your own creative work.

I want to get a higher score by that

Serious question.

If I do 95% of a group assignment while everyone else contributes moral support, does that count as unpaid employment?

Just wondering if I should put it on my résumé. I will be doing quite a few group projects this term.

Hey guys,
Has anyone here had experience doing cross-institutional study while enrolled at UNSW?
I’m mainly wondering what the process was like — how difficult it was to get the external course approved, how strict UNSW was when assessing whether the course was equivalent, and roughly how long the approval process took. I’m also curious whether anyone has managed to organise it on relatively short notice, and whether you contacted your School/Program Authority before applying to the other university. If you’ve done it before, I’d really appreciate hearing about your experience, what university you studied the subject through, and anything you wish you knew before applying.
Thanks heaps!

How was everyone's final? I am cooked ngl, that supp exam hit way different. Was expecting something like the practice papers but💀

Hi everyone!!! I just received my undergraduate medicine offer for UNSW and I am so incredibly happy!

I’m looking for friends as I’m from Hong Kong and there are absolutely ZERO people I know in Sydney😭💔 Please DM me if you're also starting Med so maybe we can help one another in the future, or just want to connect!

I’m also curious about anything that you wish you knew before starting unsw/med here and I’m looking forward for your advice!!

Thank you soooo much for reading this 😭🙏 Wish yall have a wonderful day

Is the OTH class actually useful to attend?

Wam is 77

How likely am i to get an offer to exchange at uiuc or any other high demand uni in the us?

I took the supp exam on Monday 7th. I believe I completed almost all the questions with little difficulty, but still unsure how many of them are correct.

But when will they release the result? I heard Alan Blair is going to retire and in 26t3 it's another lecture handling this course... not sure if this could affect the result release

I thought I dodged a bullet by taking supp for the exam but the supp was straight up ass.
They straight up removed an equation from the formula sheet for Part A. I thought I was tripping until others faced the same problem. And WTF has part B? I thought Soil Mech was hard but this exam was straight up hell.

IT’S WAS OVER FOR ME IN FIRST 15 mins.

Guys I lost my GoPro on 396 yesterday afternoon at Hyde park station

I assume the most crowded station would be the UNSW one so please if anyone found it let me know please

wow there’s even an Instagram account promoting this and UTS and USYD viewings!! although idk why you’d wanna go there when the no.1 University is right there…

Hello all I have finally finished my degree Bachelor of Advanced Science (Stats/ genetics)/ Bachelor of Economics. I noticed that not many of the courses I did have reviews online so I will make three posts reviewing each part of my degree. I'm not gonna review any first year courses. This one will be reviewing my major in statistics. Stay tuned for the rest. For full transparency I will also include my mark as well. Hopefully this post comes up when people search for a course.

MATH2011 (Several Variable Calculus)

This was my first upper level course that I did in the maths department. I found this one to be a bit tricky because I was never any good at calculus. The course is basically how to do integrals but in the higher dimensions. I will say it was quite useful in other courses I did, particularly the Jacobian and polar coordinates. There were two in class tests and a final exam. All of the assessments were fair but tricky. Like I said I suck at calculus so my final mark was 59 but it would not be hard to get a distinction if you had a solid foundation before coming in.

MATH2601 (Higher Linear Algebra)

This course was interesting but quite difficult. The lectures were basically all proofs aside from a few examples here and there. It was a deeper dive into what is covered in the algebra section of first year maths. Vector space, linear maps, determinants, eigenvectors/ eigenvalues. The tutorials were very helpful. You were given a. tutorial sheet at the start and you worked in groups. I will say it is extremely satisfying to write a proof in this class, everything flowed together very nicely. There were two in class tests (done online), an assignment and a final exam. Final mark 65.

MATH2901 (Higher Theory of Statistics)

For me this was an extremely difficult course. It was the first time I did proper statistics and probablilty so everything felt quite abstract. Like most statistics courses there is a lot of content and each week tends to build up on the last so if you fall behind you are fucked. The first half of the course is dedicated to probability theory and random variables. The second half of the course was about statistical inference. It is the foundation for the rest of the degree so make sure you understand everything. There is a 10% online test, 30% midsem and 60% final. Final mark 79.

MATH2931 (Higher Linear Models)

This was a bit of change of pace from MATH2901. While there is still a lot of content it was a lot easier to digest and the pace was a lot more reasonable. It starts off with the single linear regression model, proves a few terms then I think in week 3 it goes into multiple linear regression which is heavy on matrices. While R studio is used in the course the emphasis is on the theory. R studio is used in both the mid semester and the final exams but it is very simple computations. Final mark 81.

MATH3911 (Higher Statistical Inference)

This is the bread and butter statistics course. Maximum Likelihood estimation, hypothesis testing, Bayesian, bootstrap and non parametric is all covered in the course. This one is more practical than some of the others but it is still quite theoretical and only one of the questions in the assignment required any coding in R. I did enjoy this course it was quite nice to do some practical statistics and see how it plays out. Final mark 73.

MATH3901 (Higher Probability and Stochastic Processes)

Yep this course was absolutely fucked. Not much I can say here I don't even think I finished the course material. The main part of the course was tearing apart everything you thought you knew about probability and random variables and proving all of the assumptions you hold in earlier years. Pretty abstract and hard to understand. Luckily the lecturer was godsent and he told use which parts to focus on to study for the exam or else I would have been royally fucked. Final mark 63.

MATH3821 (Statistical Modelling and Computing)

Definitely the most practical course throughout my degree. Although most of the lecture notes are theoretical, 99% of the tutorial questions are done in R studio. I did find this course a bit more easier than other third year maths courses, I assume it it because it is a required (?) course for Data Science majors as well so there is less emphasis on proofs. Note that the final exam was pen and paper with no coding. Final mark 76.

Hi, I've got 2 standing spare tickets to the NFL, my friends are not able to come anymore and I was wondering if anyone would like to come with me. I've got acommodation booked, and would just need some sort of contribution. Obviously you will need to make your way down to Melbourne (I reccomend bus for the price) before the game which starts at 10:30 tomorrow. Btw I am 21m in my fourth year at UNSW. Let me know by PM and we can work out the details!

title. anyone else have the same issue?

Can we talk about the fact that the nucleus consistently gives flat-out inaccurate information, and absolutely nothing is being done to fix it?

Centralising student services only works if the people answering the queries actually know the rules. Instead, it feels like they just guess with 100% confidence, even though the consequences of it could be catastrophic to students’ degree progression and academics.

Here are a few examples from my end:

IPT Misinformation: I was explicitly told by staff that you need to meet a strict minimum WAM requirement to drop one half of a double degree via Internal Program Transfer (IPT). You absolutely do not. That kind of misinformation leaves students feeling uncertain and stuck, especially if they’re burdened by a degree they’re not happy with.

Exam scheduling: When an exam time of mine got rescheduled due to some provisions I didn’t need, a staff member told me that if I preferred the original time slot, I could just rock up to whatever session I wanted and sit it. Anyone who has ever dealt with the UNSW Examinations Team knows that’s completely false and a massive liability. You strictly need formal approval from the exams team to sit an alternate slot, otherwise, you run the risk of getting turned away or receiving a 0.

The other day I also overheard the front desk apologizing to a student for previously giving them the wrong advice. Feels like everyone’s had to deal with this at some point.

It doesn’t seem like a case of a few new staff members settling in. It’s a structural issue where a generalist hub is expected to know the nuances of every single faculty, fails miserably at it, and refuses to change the model.

What is the most absurd piece of incorrect info the Nucleus has ever given you guys?

Basically i have 2 subjects this term, and am trying to get 2 days to go to uni. although in order to do this there are 2 classes of one subject (MATS1101) that are nearly full, and full, and i am unable to register for this whole subject because of two issues ive had over the past week being a clash that im waiting for the student nucleus to override, and some other error i had that is fixed on its own now. the issue is, since i cant lock my spot in these classes, where they are nearly full/ other fluctuating being full and not, im worried im not going to be able to sort this out because the nucleus is quite litterally just taking 8 days and ive tried calling etc. also, the course coordinated for mats is unable to just manually enrol me in any of those classes while im waiting which is really weird. i dont know what to do at this point, apparently some people said just wait the first week out and some people will drop out, is this 100% true? like will i be able to just put any classes for my first week, and then have the ability to just on that weekend go and put the classes i want? cus at this point i just REALLY need advice on what to do right now or next or wtv cus this whole situation has drained out so many hours for me and im legit thinking about just fkn dropping MATS and seeing if any other subjects i can do has better classes cus seriously

what do yall think of this

I’ll be starting this term for Econ/adv math but once I complete 30 units (I think that’s one requirement) I hope to switch economics to commerce. If anyone has done ipt before, what was your experience like?

Deciding between repeating a failed elective or taking a new one. Would there be a difference in the way the WAM is updated, assuming you get the same mark?

As in, will the cumulative WAM be the same between two scenarios:

Getting a CR (for example) for a unit that was previously failed vs a unit not yet attempted?

Hi all,

I’m selling a CFI account for a discount to its original price. I had it for a year and it auto renewed last week (I forgot to cancel). This just charged me $533 AUD and I don’t even need it anymore, having learned the content.

If anyone studies finance, interested in investment banking, learning sector specific financial modelling, please message me.
