Aero: 99 at Usyd, 85 at UNSW. What's the difference? (1 Viewer)

I've always wondered what is the difference? Is it purely based on academic merit? Are usyd renowned for the aerospace engineering facilities? I'm curious because i know UNSW is one of the most renowned engineering universities in the world. Cheers.

no difference between unsw aerospace and usyd aerospace. unsw is all flexible first year engo anyway so it makes no difference what you go into. just that the usyd one has limited places and their space engineering streams seem to always attract a higher uai. also, aerospace has only been at unsw since 2003 i think.

lower uai to attempt to increase the influx of whites

i think usyd just has a very limited supply for space. the number is 10-15ish.

different courses... plus UNSW used to be 78 last year or something didnt it? and if u you look at uac the prediced uai for usyd is going down to 85

 

[blackfriday]

no its because unsw is all flexible first year so the cut-offs for all engo courses are the same, with the exception of software. usyd do it all seperately.

UNSW Aerospace is closer to USyd Aeronautical than to the 99.4 cutoff course.

It is true what blackfriday had said, UNSW has a flexi-entry which offers second year entry to the streams of the students' choice given the requirements are met. UNSW cut-off for Aerospace program is 99's not 85. A student who receives a UAI of 85 can be chosen to do the Aerospace stream given they average D to HD.

UNSW & USYD are almost unheard of based on the world scale for Engineering. If you want to have a sound university on your transcript go to England. However, it is the student's ability to produce results for companies not Universities' Reputation.
