Another alternative is a TAFE diploma before staring the bachelor degree, it's cheaper that way but you won't get as much credit as at Insearch/WSU College (where you would do courses equivalent to the ones at the respective uni which will be recognised)

Not sure, it seems to say on the site that it is compulsory. I imagine it's useful for UTS/the maths study centre to guage the level of maths of all students starting in courses that require a decent level of maths. But if you don't mind having to do foundation maths, then the result of the...

English is just one of the subjects that will count towards your ATAR, it could certainly drag down your ATAR - but so could any of the other subjects counting towards your ATAR. I don't think it's worth stressing over it any more than your other subjects, but it's also important that you don't...

Sure, but anyone that doesn't get 15/20 on the readiness survey will have to take Foundation Maths.

I don't know, it didn't exist when I was in first year, that info should be on the website or alongside the orientation material. Foundation Maths is part of the first year plan, they expect some people to have to do it. If you do the plan I said above, your only pre-req problems will be for...

You'll find out more about this once you do all of the orientation stuff and settle into the course, but it's very rare for a UTS Engineering student to follow the recommended study plan the whole way through. Some combination of internships, finding employment/transitioning to part time, going...

Foundation maths is an elective, you would pick it as an elective in first semester and then take MM2 over summer to catch up. I think it's setup such that you don't fall behind by doing that. Mostly agreed with Drdusk, a fair bit of MM1 was linear algebra (vectors, matrices etc.) which felt...

You can still transfer, the UTS subjects still count towards your UTS GPA/transcript that you can use to transfer to Usyd. Just don't expect to be able to transfer without interruptions to your study schedule, in the worst case scenario you may be up to a year behind if you can't get much...

It's actually a bit more complicated than that and is a good example of what I mean by "different". The introductory programming subject at UNSW uses C, a procedural programming language, where as UTS uses Java which is an object oriented language. It just so happens that the UTS subject (or at...

There's more details here: https://www.uts.edu.au/current-students/current-students-information-faculty-engineering-and-it/getting-started/maths It only became a compulsory/official thing recently, so I didn't have to do it myself. It sounds like it's offered at the start of the semester/right...

No, that would likely be the case at UNSW <-> USYD and probably for UNSW/USYD -> UTS, but not guaranteed for UTS -> USYD/UNSW. You would have to find out what courses you could get credit for by talking to previous students or the Usyd faculty. Some courses might not have an equivalent at the...

I'd recommend one for 3U maths, physics is probably not as important however. I'm not sure what they do at Usyd, but at UTS there was a maths diagnostic test and if your maths wasn't up to scratch you would have to take a lower level of maths in your first semester as an elective. It's probably...

You can, but as DrDusk said, course credit might be a bit harder than if you had transferred from a Go8. If you intend on going to Usyd eventually, I'd exhaust/consider all of the options at Usyd/UNSW and if you do end up at UTS try to find other people that have transferred to Usyd and/or talk...

UTS has trimesters too, but they transitioned to that model like 3-4 years ago so most of the teething problems and people complaining are gone. Both universities suddenly launched their trimester systems (e.g. staff and subjects didn't have time to adjust) and received a lot of backlash, that...

IMO, if the choice is between a full co-op scholarship and regular course, you should go for the co-op. It just so happens that the UTS BIT program also has very strong industry connections, cohort and alumni network. The BIT course goes for 3 years and you'll graduate with a year of experience...

Just don't rock up to the interview with all of your Dollarmites merch! I think it's a valid question though, you'll find people asking the same thing about computers/phones when working at Google/Apple/Microsoft or people commenting on employees of those companies using competitor's devices...

For engineering at least, most of the lectures at UTS weren't recorded. For business, a few were. Only a couple of lecture theatres were setup for recording. There was rumours that the uni was scared that low lecture attendance rates might fall even further (no idea if this is true, but would...

Sure, so when I was finishing year 10 I was intending on spending like 2-3 hours every evening studying and revising for year 11/12. But in year 10 I last minuted everything and never studied, let alone did my homework most of the time. Predictably, that study schedule never happened and my year...

Don't burnout or set yourself unachievable study goals - year 11 is a great opportunity to get into some good habits for the HSC and university. But to get that benefit, you need to build those habits! I'd recommend setting some consistent plans and sticking to it, what those plans should be...

Assumed knowledge is not a pre-req. I'd be surprised for someone in MedSci to not have done any science subjects, but as Drongoski has alluded to, people regularly don't even meet the assumed knowledge. You've at least hit the assumed knowledge, and I think Biology would better prepare you for...
