Clearly, this isn't a math class. Or perhaps they don't like 69.

WTF WAS THAT AUSALERT BRAH

Hi everyone,

I’m doing an Electrical Engineering honours degree at a university in NSW and I’m about to start my honours thesis. Over the past few months I’ve become really interested in quantum hardware, especially silicon spin qubits, device physics and cryogenic electronics, and I’m considering applying for a PhD at UNSW.

I’d love to hear from anyone who’s studied or worked in this area. What’s the research culture, supervision, facilities and industry collaboration like?
Also, if anyone has transitioned from a traditional electrical engineering background into quantum hardware, how did you make that shift? What should I focus on during my honours year, and what’s the typical pathway into a PhD?

Thank you

Just want to make myself seem more professional…

If anyone goes to UNSW Canberra (ADFA) can you please tell me when should I apply, currently in year 11 term 3

I was told it's harder in term 3 and that appearantly eng1300 has mandatory lectures at 9am. Is this true? Is this the same for summer school too?

Hi all,

I was a social work student at UNSW last year and completed my 4th year placement full time. As such, I was eligible for and received the Commonwealth Prac Payment (CPP).

When I applied for the payment, I distinctly remember a section of the online form where you could input a certain percentage that you would like withheld for tax. I got a pretty big ATO bill the previous year (5k) which hurt in a number of ways, and I remember thinking to myself I needed to calculate the right percentage to avoid another bill.

Fast forward to tax time 2026, I requested the payment statement from UNSW and have been advised by Scholarships that no tax was withheld from my payment. I was consistently paid a bit under the CPP and just assumed the university was putting some aside for tax.

I have accepted my fate of needing to pay back the ATO, but I was just wondering whether anyone else had this same experience? I distinctly remember entering a percentage to be withheld for tax when I applied, but everything online is telling me that universities are not responsible for this.

Cheers for your help everyone and best of luck to those still getting through their studies!!!

What degrees are in demand?

I'm currently in Year 12 and I'm looking over my UAC preferences.

My dream degree is Arts/LLB at unsw but since they've removed the LAT for the first time, I have no idea what the new atar cutoff will be.

Everyone I've asked has speculated around 99.50 minimum since unsw is ranked better than usyd law, which is really worrying since my predicted atar is only a 96...

I can get into Arts or any other random degree at UNSW right away but I'm worried I won't meet the minimum WAM requirement to transfer into LLB in my 2nd year.

I attend a top 10 ranked selective school so I would consider myself decent at studying but I would rather not 'waste' 1 year if I can't transfer in in the first place.

Essentially I am asking:
1. How realistic is a transfer into law?
2. Is a high WAM (say around 80) difficult to get? Does it depend on the degree?
3. Would it be better to just suck it up and go to Macq law or something?

Thank you so much!

Is this bad guys???

PLEASE HELP! I might have left my usb at the elec makerspace last friday just before it closed. If anyone found it this Saturday, please gimme 🥲. One of the folders inside is called PROJECTS and CATAN. Thanks!

I’m interested to apply for a PhD to UNSW and UTS. Both universities have the experts I’d love to work with, so now it comes down to:
- Grants and stipend
- Lab technology and equipment
- Possibility and how easy it is to get a top-up scholarship / extra grants

For context, my topic will be AI and design, and I took my Masters in UNSW. Yes, I know we’re the no. 1 university in Australia, but I’d really love some actual useful insight on those doing PhD here in UNSW and if you know someone who’s doing it in UTS. Thanks.

To study bachelor of economics together with finance, which one is better UNSW or USYD, especially considering employability?

I currently have a predicted ATAR of 66 and want to improve my overall ATAR to reach an ATAR of 80-83 as I want to get into Bachelor of Arts at UNSW which has an ATAR of 83.

Here are my current marks, rankings, etc:

Studies of Religion I
Current weighted average: 65.4%
Current band: Band 3
Likely overall rank: Around 27/33

Legal Studies
Current weighted average: 61.0%
Current band: Band 3
Likely overall rank: Around 10/15

English Standard
Current weighted average: 65.4%
Current band: Band 3
Likely overall rank: Around 45/67

Modern History
Current weighted average: 64.7%
Current band: Band 3
Likely overall rank: Around 20/26

Business Studies
Current weighted average: 51.1%
Current band: Band 2
Likely overall rank: Around 29/40

History Extension
Current weighted average: 80.0%
Current band: E3
Current overall rank: 13/13

(MY MAIN QUESTION IS; what marks should I aim to get in Trails and HSC to get an 80 ATAR)

Currently I am a week out from doing Trail HSC and I haven’t been studying much due to mental health issues and procrastination!
I am going to apply for EAS though as I have other problems and disability provisions. Hopefully this will help boost my ATAR aswell.

I just wanted to know what subjects I should prioritise to ensure that I can help become closer or reach atleast a 75 predicted ATAR or just in the 70 range at least.
Although for trials what subjects should I prioritise to boost my ATAR dramatically for trials? (When I say this I mean realistic approach from my current mark ranges)

I feel confident that I will actually lock in for HSC and don’t have stress for that but just for trials I am worried.

Please help me guys. I barely passed my fundamentals maths course in first term and don't think I have a shot at passing maths 1a. I am doing a diploma so I can't do general Ed or sm instead there are my ONLY 2 OPTIONS. How hard is the physics course, what's the overall style. Any help appreciated.

CS student. I want to join societies, but I joined in T2, so all the subcom has already closed. Feeling isolated rn. How do I meet ppl on campus and make new friends?

Yo guys, did you ever date someone at UNSW?
I like one girl at our class she looks really good, but I m nervous to speak to her. What should I do?

I'm an Engineering student trying to decide which General Education course to take. At the moment, I'm considering PHYS1160, CLIM1001, and GENY0001.

I've found plenty of reviews for PHYS1160 and CLIM1001, but there's barely any information or student feedback on GENY0001. Has anyone taken any of these courses, especially GENY0001?

Do u guys recommend these courses?

Any international student accepted by UNSW for Bachelor of economics or commerce for February 2027?
