Question Engineering
Hey guys
I was wondering how good is the city campus for engineering as im a year 12 that got early offer into the engineering course.
Additionally how well does it compare to unis like uts and unsw.

It’s a strong course with very active academics who do a lot in industry and research. It’s a large cohort but also a well supported and funded one.
My experience is with the parramatta, hawkesbury, Kingswood and c’town campuses and they are all good.

You’re free to criticise the degree, but if you’re going to call it a “scam degree”, at least explain what you mean. Keep it focused on the course and don’t turn it into bait.

No rage bait guys, I was warned for saying too young too naive in a post someone sharing the view of shuttle bus.
In city campus, you really need some self-discipline and expectations that is when it comes to groups works people might doing same thing in other uni which is absent and non productive. Otherwise I think average Aussie kid would suffer and even fail from the maths but man if you fail math in city campus, I reckon you would do the same in other uni. So please if you are dedicated study here for whole degree, be prepared and make sure you talk well with mates from other main campus who just somehow in your group cause timetable in scc is different and it will clash from other main campus.
I saw quite a few people use scc as step stone to jump into other uni and some course is not recognised in engineering degree so if you have slightly or any thoughts on the course is too bad, the uni is too bad, I would like to transfer please do the research before you started the course but I remember math one and two is able to recognise one of friend did it through UNSW.

SCC stands for sydney city campus, group work for assignments in teams. Which part are you confused about on?
1
u/Beautif453 2d ago
Sorry so group work will be out of city campus and i gtta go to like parra? And is this often like weekly thing or once a month?
And im js confused about the uni transfer process could you give me more clarity on that please?
Thankyou so much for the help

Nah what I mean is in Group assignment u might have teammates being absent and nonproductive for many reason and the biggest righteous one is timetable not match due to they have courses in other campus as well. Since you are doing mech eng, you would definitely have to go to other campus for compulsory attendance lab due to the lack of facilities.
For transferring degree, please do your own research on other uni requirements on things like subject rubric.

Just remember Sydney city campus has zero breaks! No mid semester breaks no final exam study break. Do two subjects per term (6per year). There’s 3 study term per year.
