    Is Honours worth it for computer science or maths ?

    Hey y'all, In terms of maximising your employmentability and salary, is doing the extra year of honours in fields that are related to computer science and applied maths worth it ? Thanks

    Travelling to uni

    Hey y'all I plan on going to either Macquarie, UTS, USYD, UNSW or UoW next year, but I live in the worst location possible (bundeena NSW 2230). No matter where I go, it will take me atleast 1 hr driving or 2 hrs public transport. So my question is should I just manage my time really well and...

    What is Data Science ?

    Ok I think I need to do a bit more research on this stuff. I'll come back if have any other questions though. Thanks

    What is Data Science ?

    Thanks for the answer. So would I be better off (in terms of gaining employable skills) to go for data science or advanced maths doing mainly statistical/applied maths ? Also I just read somewhere that Data Science is really good right now, but it won't be for long as the market will become...

    What is Data Science ?

    Hey y'all, So now that I've got my atar (97.15) I need to decide what uni degree to do. I was originally looking at doing the double degree of adv maths and conputer science at UNSW, but then I heard about this new thing called data science which is apperently the same as maths but more...

    Good enough for a 99.95 ?

    For those wondering what I got, 97.15

    Extension Courses in Science

    Is this really true ? Because that is basically exactly what I want to do at uni (B advanced maths/B computer science) but didn't want to go into data science because it's so new and unheard of. So what is the difference between statistics/maths and data science ?

    How flexible is the atar

    No, that's not a straw man argument... You are arguing that it's ridiculous to not be given an offer if your atar is 94 and 95 was the cut off. It doesn't matter if not all 900 apply for the same course, or just 1 person, you can't claim an offer for being just below because you would need to...

    UNSW Subject Reviews.

    Umm... What do you think a test is supposed to do ? Make a course tolerable ? If there were no hard tests then undergraduate degrees would literally be the same as going through high school.

    Musician or retail ?

    Hey y'all, So I've just finished my hsc and am looking for a source of income before starting uni. I have 2 real options in mind; I can either get a job in retail/cafe or I could use my musical talent to play piano in bars or at functions and stuff. So my question is which one should I go for ...

    Do you really need a driving instructor?

    Here's how it works: 1) Learn from parents until you think you are a solid driver. 2) Get a lesson with an instructor, where you should ask him if you are ready for the test. If you are not ready, you can either go back to step 1 or you can get him to teach you. If you are ready, then just go...

    Buying a laptop for Computer Science....

    Lol, how terrible of an idea would it be to use those lenovo laptops we get out of highschool ? Atm it's all i have...

    Recommended Studies for Computer Science

    Ok thanks I've got it. I did MX2 and enjoyed it, so I shouldn't have any major problems then. I'll probably still learn python, since I really just want the skillset of a computer programmer rather than just being an expert in whatever is taught in the degree.

    Recommended Studies for Computer Science

    Cool that's a good thing then, but while waiting for it to start, I need something to do as life without school has gotten pretty boring quick. So I could go and learn the content in SSD, or I could go try out a more general thing like learning to code. I've started learning to code in python...

    Recommended Studies for Computer Science

    Hey y'all I'm interested in doing the double degree at UNSW of science (adv. maths) and computer science. I think I can handle the maths fine, but I am very new to coding and programming and have just started trying it out. I do enjoy it, and I have the discipline and self-motivation to...

    Differences between math and statistics ?

    Yeah sorry for the misleading title, I'll try to change it but I'm just trying to see things from the perspective of an employer. If I have just the degree in adv. math with the 9 computer science course electives, would they recognise that ? Or would I have to take the double degree to show...

    That bachelor of finance, economics and statistics tho...

    Hey y'all Just went degree hunting in the UAC guide and found out about this 'triple' degree offered by ANU. It looks like the ultimate job hunting degree, requires a 99 atar and focus on real world math that is seemingly valued by employers. Does anyone know anyone who has done this degree...
