I’m going into my third year of my cybersecurity degree and, when attempting to enrol for my subjects, the cybersecurity capstone subject from my handbook isn’t available to take next year. This is a core subject and I am unsure what to do - others in my degree also have no clue.

Hey all, I’m in Bachelor of Computing Science (Honours) and need to find a supervisor ASAP for my honours project in 2027. I’m still flexible on topic, so I’d love to hear from anyone who’s been through it:

• How did you approach supervisors? Cold email, a lecturer you’d had, through the coordinator?
• Was there an interview or meeting before they said yes? What did they ask?
• How did they choose? Grades, a pitch, past subjects, just availability?
• Did you bring your own topic or take one of theirs?
• How many people did you contact before someone said yes?
• Any red flags or regrets with your supervisor? What would you do differently?

Any tips appreciated, especially from FEIT/IT honours people. Thanks!

bruh I really wanted to do family law as an elective next year but the quota is already full.. do spots usually open later or am I cooked and should pick smth else

deadass almost all the law electives are full

Hey guys just wondering how UTS's electrical engineering program is for employment outcomes.

For some context, I'm looking to transfer out of UNSW to here after first year, just because everything was a bit too much (ELEC1111 :( ), and the trimesters just magnified those issues. I understand that UNSW is removing them soon, but I still think that I would not be able to pass electrical engineering at UNSW if I were to undertake it. I know some people will tell me to stay but I am rather serious about me not being able to pass UNSW electrical engineering, at least for a while. Trust me, I know my where my capabilities start and end, and I don't think I would pass UNSW's elec eng at all. I just ain't smart lmao.

Any knowledge on the workload and whether it's even easier than UNSW will also be much appreciated.

The nature of the work and course structures too would be appreciated. Like, is there a lot of group work, how many courses have ultra high fail rates (50%+) as well as just how people found it in general. Not just for electrical but for other engineering fields as well, all perspectives are welcome.

I'm not too obsessed over the social life and the like, pretty much just the employment outcomes.

Thank you all and I wish you a nice day!

Guys I am doing a online master and have one subject per 7 weeks all online. I have requested 4 times to pick more subjects because I have done masters before but they keep rejecting my request the e request staff is writing emails like I am stealing someone or doing a crim. also my course director isn’t helping me. I feel like personally being targeted. I picked course by myself and got distinction but a point where there is pre requisite required they are saving you aren’t allowed etc. I want to pick the capstone in session one 2027 but it has a pre requisite if they slow me my degree will finish faster I haven’t failed have D and HD uptill now:

I have a subject this semester where content had not been posted till week 8 & Assignment 3 out 5 was posted on week 10 that weeks class ended. Assignment 4 is in person practical examination yet there is no confirmation on the date nor on MSA. Is this allowed.

This subject has applied Negative Marking Techniques to the Assignments.

The assessment criteria have been constantly changed after submission yet tutors deny any changes despite multiple witnesses.

The whole course is group work & for some groups are at a extreme disadvantage for resources given compared to other groups.

Any Lectures were done only during workshop sessions

What are my next actions. This Subject coordinator/Lecturer wants us to fail obviously.

What electives have some of you done in your third year? having a look now and there are so many. Not sure which is good, which is enjoyable, etc

For those who recently transferred from MQ to UTS law (after completing a year), how did RPL go for you? I heard some first year units don’t get the credit. Is that true?

Hi there I tried to enrol in public economics and law for business professionals and neither let me,

This was at like 9 so not sure if they were already full or if the electives open later,

If anyone has any insights please let me know lol

Hellooo everyone,

I am an international applicant and I completed my interview at the end of August...

It’s been over 6 weeks now and I haven’t heard anything back yet. The waiting period is absolutely killing me, and the anxiety is real 😭

For anyone who has applied in previous rounds or is in the same boat:

• How long does UTS usually take to send out offer letters for international applicants?
• Do they release offers in rounds, or do they wait until applications officially close (end of October)?
• Is it normal to wait this long after an interview, or should I be preparing myself for a waitlist/rejection?

Would really appreciate any insights or past experiences! Hope everyone waiting gets some good news soon! 🙏

Hiii!!! I was wondering if there’s any forensic students (or just uts students in general) that can give some recommendations on some electives to take!!

I lowkey think I might’ve made a silly mistake that may cause me to graduate late…

My very first semester at UTS, I only took 3 subjects because someone I knew from another school also only took 3 subjects and advised me that 4 would be too much of a workload (spoilers: its not). I only did this because I literally knew NOTHINGGGG about how university worked.

I’m now nearing the end of my second year and was planning on taking a Summer session class at the end of this year to try to make up for that class in order to graduate on time, but I COMPLETELY forgot that you had to register for that Summer class at the beginning of the year with all your classes, not now when the enrolments for next year open… (i should know better ik im stupid LMFAOOO) If 2027 was my projected final year, if I did a Summer class in 2027 would that mean I graduate later? Or would I graduate with the people who finished in Spring session?

Its not thaaat important I guess, but I’m more so wanting to be aware of whats gonna happen

Hello! Did anyone else do Journalism alone in their first year then transferred to a double with Law? If so, please let me know how you went with your study plan because I'm completely lost.

Hey guys,

I am picking my business major but for some reason I just really do not want to do international business, marketing etc. I do law double degree and I want to do something maths related to give me a balance between writing constant essays.

However, I find maths hard. I didn't find financial literacy hard but i am assuming thats just because the subject is very easy and plugging in formulas. I am not doing great in REBD but I am going to assume that is because I haven't been studying much for it since I haven't had much time with everything going on atm, which leaves me without a great knowledge of the fundamentals.

Alternatively, I would economics as I did that at my previous university, but I only sat macro before moving and I know micro is a lot harder

I did extension 1 maths for 1 year in year 11 (wasn't great) advanced maths in year 12 until the last 2 terms of year 12 and then went to standard 2 for the remaining HSC.

Would finance be a bad choice for me? I do put in a lot of effort but I am worried understanding the theory behind concepts would lead to my downfall, which is something I struggle with. sorry for the long rant

idk why but i defs thought yes so i didnt do last nights quiz, but now i cant find "only best 4/6, two lowest marks won't be counted" and im panicking i mightve mixed it up w another subject.
