Eh, sounds a bit like me when I was trying to choose a course in 2011. Rather than re-type everything out again, I recently replied here of my current view on computing degrees from various unis...

Do you still need my notes?

Well structured response. :) +1 I'm in my 3rd Year of IT atm @ UTS, and believe me, there hasn't been a semester where I haven't thought about changing to a more technical degree at a better uni who actually knows what they're doing in terms of low-level hardware and software concepts. From an...

No, it's not required for most SENG courses, 2-week bridging courses are always available though (for ~$400), before the start of the uni year; during February.

Uni courses allow you to major, whereas TAFE courses pretty much force you to pick a specific course right from the start of your diploma (Although TAFE courses are generally shorter, some are 6-24 months, easily allowing you to transfer into a degree thereafter), you can also choose uni...

> Blair is that you? lol'd at the reference. Good one. You were a former BIT? If so, which year in your course did you decide to transfer, 1st year? Also, no computing degree ever intends on teaching you every language, it's too cumbersome and ineffective to do solely that, languages can...

Hi there, just in case you were unaware, I have SDD notes outlining the 2011 syllabus. I'm aware that not much has changed, content-wise, from the 2012 and beyond syllabus. I also have notes on IPT and IT VET here. All the best! MrBrightside

Hi there, just in case you were unaware, I made a thread after I finished my HSC in 2011. I pretty much offered all of my solid HSC notes for free on IPT, SDD, IT VET, SoR 1 unit, Maths 2 unit and English Advanced here: http://community.boredofstudies.org/showthread.php?t=271361 Good luck...

If you think you're up for the maths, I would say bite the bullet now, and just do a CS or SENG degree, but if you think that you can't handle the maths that well, then suss out an IT course which doesn't involve much or any maths at all. You could always just do a 2 year degree at a private...

Yeah, the business side (modelling/diagramming specifications) of IT seems purely pointless and you feel worthless when doing it for assignments, [Sometimes I just think they had to throw it in, because there's nothing else they could teach us, without getting too technical] - Though I suppose...

Now in my second year, studying IT, subject-wise I wish I had done something more technical, like Comp Sci or Eng. The BIT course heavily relies on the two six-month industry placements to teach you real-world skills. At the moment, I'm paying over 4 grand to work in 3 team-based subjects...

They'll probably look at your uni GPA / WAM (transcript) and the reason why you want to change, more than anything else.

From a very summarised perspective, yes that is true. CS/Soft Eng/Comp Eng degrees are more world renowned, especially in the US. There's a certain structure to them which all universities must teach. (Though, some universities may vary slightly, their core content is likely to be pretty much...

Just adding onto that, BIT is more focused towards the industry (with two SPONSORED six-month internships (UTS gives you the placements, based on a numbering preference system as to which company you will work at - but you're guaranteed two placements), one in your Second Semester, First Year...

Sorry I have been inactive for awhile (my account had login issues, as apparently there is an issue for Microsoft blocking password reset emails from boredofstudies.org), any ways, glad to be back. The above FileSmelt link seems to be working fine for me on Firefox for Windows, though some...

A lot of those degrees interrelate with each other - jobs wise. So say you did Comp Eng, you would still be able to get employed doing normal IT Sys Admin or Developer related jobs (Just bear in mind an IT degree is usually shorter than an Engineering one, i.e. 3-4 years (IT) versus 4-5 years...

Highly relevant:

If you need notes check out the bottom of my thread here: http://community.boredofstudies.org/showthread.php?t=271361&page=3 Good luck!
