    How legitimate is this report on the "worst" degrees?

    As long as you don't have a potato for a brain, employers won't really care how smart you are. What's actually important is how they think you'll fit in with the culture, whether they think you're someone they can work with, and what your work experience is. A fields medalist would be pretty...

    Can you do a double degree with a double major

    They're not important (i.e. not necessary to graduate), hence the name electives.

    Can you do a double degree with a double major

    Yeh you can do Eng/Sci and double major in the Sci if u wish. However, it'll mean that you have no room for any engineering electives since your schedule will be full with all the core units required to complete the Sci double major.

    Coronavirus/Covid-19 Discussion Thread

    Yeah that's why I said 'slowly', since it'll need time for mass manufacture as well as public trust. I had in mind about 6 months, probably more. Either way, they'll get there, they just need some time. Once Biden takes the reigns, things will also probably change.

    Coronavirus/Covid-19 Discussion Thread

    Vaccines are slowly rolling out though, so I'd imagine it's only a matter of time before they get it under control.

    Usyd Space Engineering??

    I did aerospace engineering at USYD. ATAR cutoff is just supply and demand, so the cut-off is only so high because the intake is low. All space students from the mechanical, mechatronic, and aeronautical engineering streams take the space component together, and in my year there were probably...

    How accurate is the university rankings? which one is the most objective one?

    Got accepted to do grad school there. Texas is not as redneck or middle-of-nowhere as people think lol. Regardless, I'm not there anymore, just too lazy to change it.

    How accurate is the university rankings? which one is the most objective one?

    Naturally, the brightest students will want to get into the top schools. However, the majority of students don't even bother applying for the top schools since it's incredibly difficult to get in, and there's there's application fees involved (unlike here). The US university education system...

    How accurate is the university rankings? which one is the most objective one?

    I don't see that at all. If anything, I think students here place more emphasis on the school they go to, which is why you frequently see students asking which uni is better for what, not to mention the relentless USYD/UNSW debates. In contrast, I never saw sort of discussion in the US. Also...

    How accurate is the university rankings? which one is the most objective one?

    There is no "the best". Each system use different metrics for their rankings. E.g. some ranking systems might place heavier emphasis on research output over say, graduate employability, whereas other ranking systems might place a heavier emphasis on graduate employability over research output.

    Can you use bounds in 3u

    i think they mean something like integral of x^2 d(x^2), as opposed to the integral of u du. Should be fine.

    Mature Aged Studies

    Yeh I reckon it is if you can get into a good school, but it'd be more expensive though. Also I just re-read it and realised it was for undergrad (rather than grad/postgrad). Probably better to just do it here if it's UG, although I'm not too sure how many schools here (or even in the US) offer...

    Selecting Honours

    Honours is a subject, and you can choose to take honours in your final year if your WAM is above certain threshold. You can't choose to do honours now, in the same way that you can't choose your 2nd year subjects now.

    Usyd commerce or mq applied finance/economics

    Isn't mq pretty decent for finance? The travel times also carry a lot of weight. Students tend to avoid mq and prefer usyd/unsw due to prestige, but honestly employers don't really care. In the end, it's the other parts of your CV that'll make you stand out, not the uni u went to (as long as the...

    Thoughts on the new Quantum Engineering UNSW degree?

    There's a reason why no theres no other universities that offer such specialised undergrad degrees such as this - it's simply too specialised. You don't have the prerequisite background knowledge to study the subject in any meaningful way, and is why people only begin studying these types of...
