Found this line while I am searching the net for information about engineering.

QUOTE(jacklong @ Jan 3 2011, 02:38 PM) hey guys, what do you people think about the melbourne uni's new generation degree programme? it some thing like studying 3 years of bachelor of science then follow by 2 years of masters in engineering. Or you could take 3 years bachelor + 1 years of honours. That's the typical 4-years course for engineering. But you have to be really exceptional to be accepted in Australia honours system. Only the best are invited to take 1 years of honours. You don't choose them. They choose you. |

QUOTE(chiiupe @ Mar 12 2011, 11:17 AM) 1) very easy to get admitted I have been wondering about that too and this just clear my doubts. However won't the overall reputation of the university be affected too if too many fail the modules? and we have to take into account of peers influence. Having a friend who tends to play and don't study would surely affect your results as well? 2) not so easy to pass subjects 3) repeat subjects 4) $$$  |

QUOTE(Hikari0307 @ Mar 12 2011, 06:41 PM) there's a maximum amount of tries one can get, then one gets kicked out so they can take in new students yeah but still i believe peers influence plays a crucial part. Imagine if one ask you to go movie when your exams/deadline is just around the corner. If you fail the course pretty much people usually will blame you rather than the University. and through the Melbourne model you'll have to undergo another degree first and getting the sufficient grades before you can enrol in an Engineering degree rather than entering straight from Pre-u Other places we go back to the concept of we kick you out if you fail too much and your expected to keep up  Added on March 12, 2011, 7:54 pmBtw, I am still unsure of what to pursue. A degree in mathematics or engineering? I will be delighted to complete a degree in mathematics but i am worried about it's job prospects. Is engineering really suitable for me? I for one prefer solving problems on papers instead of hand-ons despite my terrible handwriting. This post has been edited by zeeyang: Mar 12 2011, 07:55 PM |
