Hey guys, quick question, how hard is the maths for Computer Science? And how hard is Computer Science in general in Monash?

Yes, you're right, there's no baseline, well in that case, how competitive is the Computer Science major? How is the failure rate?

Is it true that getting a degree in Monash is better than say Sunway or Taylors since it's Australian and all?

Because I've been accepted to Monash in Bachelors of Arts(Psychology) but I am also thinking of doing computer science in Sunway.

I did not get accepted to Monash for computer science though, because I didn't get pass their requirements for that course.

Any thoughts guys?

both are different courses man. how to compare? but on paper Monash is definitely better. but ultimately u should go for a course u r interested in.

Well my math is a bit on the bad side, and I can code alright, but psychology itself also interests me the same way. Plus I don't mind either, I can always learn by my own at my own time later in life, it's just now I'm trying to make a decision.

computer science is all about maths especially maths without numbers.
do not get into comp sci if your math is weak; instead go for IT.
computer science is rarely about programming (programming is IT once again).
there is a reason why comp sci in monash have a generally high failing rate for first year units and it is due to the weaker math background from most students.

As for how lectures here are different than MUA, you have access to MULO where you can watch podcast for the lectures on MUA side.
Materials are the same for the same unit by the way and there are high amount of contact between the staff here and staff at MUA for each unit.

Well what about Computer Science programs of other universities like Sunway or Inti? They too follow the same lineage? Thanks for the input there by the way.
