Stupid Question. (1 Viewer)

Hi
In UNSW, theres "bachelor of engineering, bachelor of science" UAI = 80.1and then theres "Bachelor of engineering (computer engineering), bachelor of science" UAI = 91.

If i do "bachelor of engineering, bachelor of science" with a major in computer engineering, would that be exactly equivalent to "Bachelor of engineering (computer engineering), bachelor of science" in terms of work and degree?

If so then cant one apply for the first one which has a UAI of 80.1 and do a major in computer engineering instead of applying for second one which has a UAI of 91?
Thanks

Read your UAC guide carefully. I am not sure about the intracacies of the Engineering faculty, but from what I can read, if u do a plain Engineering/Science, u cannot specifically major in Computer Engineeringh

Ok thanks allot minai. Ive just got another question i need to clarify. "Bachelor of engineering (computer engineering)", what does it mean? lol does it mean "ive got a degree in engineering with a major in computers" when completed?

Thanks again.

That's exactly what it means.

I missed somthing. It actually says "Major studies: Science in combination with all engineering course except materials Science and engineering". Cant i just apply for this course (UAI 80) and major in computer engineering rather than apply for the other one i mentioned before (UAI 90)? Im confused....

I'm not sure what material you are reading, but a BE/BSc = UAI 80 is probably just refering to the general course type, whereas BE(Comp Eng)/BSc = UAI 90 is the actual course.

Ah i see..
Ok, if u wanna do Engineering/Science, the UAI is 80 right? but for some majors, u need to achieve the required cutoff for that major, ie 90 for computer science

see how the UAC course codes for all the engineering courses are the same, EXCEPT for computer engineering, software engineering and some others?

aha right. So i may be accepted for B engineering/science but then i may not be able to do a comp. eng. major depending on my UAI, right?

Is there a general engineering course? I've never seen/heard of it?

Thanks for the reply guys.

I'm sorry to confuse, what I meant was that that was the standard cutoff. Certain subjects have a higher cutoff (those with a higher Eng UAI). So normally 80-ish will be fine, except for certain subjects (like comp eng) where the cut off is 90-ish ...
