better late than never
hey..
having graduated from software engineering.. not sure if engineering has changed at all.
engineering by itself with the EngDipPrac is 5yrs n its really good because you are forced to do one years worth of work experience b4 u graduate, which makes u a step ahead of all the other grads when u apply for those graduate roles. It may also be really tough tho to apply for a full time job while you havent finished your degree, but the challenge of actually doing so is really rewarding. (most people end up finding something... give about a whole semesters worth of trying to find a job... take into consideration that.. it takes a good 3mths+ these days for grads to actually find a job in the first place)
if you want to do a double without the EngDipPrac, make sure you actually want to dip your hands into BOTH those courses, either Med Sci or Business... I do not know anyone who did double in Med Sci (it wasnt offered when I was at uni) but I have a great number of friends who did Biz, who end up finding Biz alot more interesting and in a sense easier than Engineering.
U also gotta consider y u r doing a double, in a double instead of doing 4 subjects of 6credit points, u end up doing 5 subjects of 6credit points (for eng) or 5 subjects of 8credit points (for business)..... or maybe they have changed the credit point system.
I would say that Med Sci is hard... n teaming that with Engineering would be all study n no play. Keep in mind that university is 5 years.. ... its a long time if u end up failing one subject or another... good advice, dont kill yourself if u end up failing one or two subjects...HEHAEHEAE.. it happens.
a good balance of parttime work, study and play will make for a happy life.
doing a double degree will increase your employability in the fields u've chosen.
so u will have an advantage of whichever field u choose.
hope that helps.
engineering at uts i heard is the hardest out of all of them.
