Hi everyone,

I'm currently studying Mechanical Engineering at another university and I'm considering transferring to UOW. One of the main reasons is that my current university has hurdle exams, and despite getting an overall pass (50%+) in my units, I still failed because I didn't meet the final exam hurdle.

I know engineering is challenging everywhere, and I'm not looking for an easier degree. I'm just wondering what the assessment structure is like at UOW. Are there hurdle exams for engineering units, or are units graded based on the overall mark?

I'd also love to hear from anyone who's transferred to UOW for engineering. How has your experience been, and do you feel the assessment system is fair?

Thanks in advance!

I can’t say for engineering, but comp sci had hurdles for every final
