    How do I find our what degree I am doing in myuni website?

    That webpage is not intended for use by local Australian students to obtain "backdoor" information on whether or not they have received a UAC offer from the University of Sydney. You should not rely or infer anything from any potential "success" or "failure" if you enter any details into that...

    How do I find our what degree I am doing in myuni website?

    If you are a current student, I hope you know what degree you are doing. If not, you should be worried. It will be on lots of uni correspondence to you, such as your results notice and HECS notices. It will be be somewhere on my uni admin where you look at your unit of study enrolment. If...

    WAM for transfer

    It is unclear to answer because the information you have provided is unclear. Are you saying that you are currently doing a bsc at usyd, have done first year, and a have applied via uac to enter bcst this year. The conversion of gpa to ATAR is complicated, but a 4 gpa (all passes) which is...

    What happens on enrolement day?

    It depends on the Faculty The science website has a good account of what they do (and for most other faculties the process is similar) - http://sydney.edu.au/science/fstudent/undergrad/entry/uac/about_enrolment.shtml

    What year do I graduate in.....

    This is not a trivial question. Assuming you did not fail anything, you would complete the requirements of the degree and be entitled to call yourself a graduand at the end of 2016. However you would not graduate (ie attend the ceremony and receive your testamur) until about April or May...

    Flexible First Year possible in double degrees?

    Yes. Make sure in your uac preference that you put down be/bsc as your actual choice. On your enrolment day, you specify to the staff which stream of engineering you wish to do (eg FFY, civil, mechanical). You must get both the be/bsc ATAR and the specific atar for the stream of...

    Prerequisites help?

    You will get a more meaningful response if you mention the course in which you are interested. Eg if you were considering engineering, then the assumed knowledge is maths extension 1 (also known as 3 unit maths). If you entered this course having done only general maths, you would be well below...

    Civil Engineering - USYD (with scholarship) vs. UNSW

    May I clarify civil at usyd please. Civil at usyd has several streams (or majors) in the areas of structures, geotechnical, construction:project management and environmental. All students in civil get a grounding in all of these areas regardless if they are in one stream or another. In...

    USYD Pharmacy and Chemical Engineering

    Your friend will likely get no allowance for 2u regular maths, but probably 2 points for a good chemistry. He should also "register" with a leadership/motivation statement at http://sydney.edu.au/engineering/futurestudent/flexibleentry.shtml, which could give your friend another allowance of...

    Usyd advanced engineering talented IT student program

    Well that was an example, and MIPPs also runs in Chemical and AMME engineering.

    Usyd advanced engineering talented IT student program

    You might be referring to a program called MIPPS which is a combination of research, work experience etc for some of the best students. An example of old projects is at http://sydney.edu.au/scholarships/docsschols/mipps2011_advertflyer.pdf

    Is it possible to get into a double degree and then drop to a single degree?

    That difference is a statistical anomaly. USyd reports the cutoff as "the mark of the last person to get in" and in that case the last person to get into BIT/BSc had a lower ATAR than the last person to get into straight BIT. The "real" cutoff for combined degrees at USyd is never less than...

    Is it possible to get into a double degree and then drop to a single degree?

    Yes. Rules might be slightly different for each case, but eg look at Clause 11 of the rules of BE/BSC at http://sydney.edu.au/handbooks/engineering/undergraduate/combined.shtml#eng_science_comb A candidate may abandon the combined program and elect to complete the either the Bachelor of...

    Civil Engineering (structures) || Salary? || Job availability? || UTS vs USYD

    Suggest you go to official sources. GRadstats, 2012, go to page 6, http://www.graduatecareers.com.au/research/researchreports/gradstats/. Civil Engineering has an employment rate of 90%, well above the national average.

    How hard is the maths?

    Maths Ext 1 (ie 3U maths) is the assumed knowledge for all engineering undergrad degrees at USyd. This can be verified by checking official pages such as http://sydney.edu.au/courses/Bachelor-of-Engineering-Biomedical

    Transferring to engineering combined degrees

    The page in question https://secure.eng.usyd.edu.au/student/special_permission_3.php does indicate that for a change like be to BEBCOM, which is what the OP wanted, application to UAC is required.

    Transferring to engineering combined degrees

    You need to reapply to UAC for 2014 entry.

    WAM engineering,pass/fail does not count?

    Is there a question to this thread? I think the resolution is quite clear and if the whole resolution was quoted the answer is there? WAMS are used by the University as one indicator of performance. For example, WAMS can be used in assessing admission to and award of honours, eligibility for...
