B Engineering/B Arts (1 Viewer)

[tommykins]

I'm thinking of doing this combined degree as Engineering has always been an option (could probably tell by my subjects) but I've also a great love for Psychology that I really want to study it.

What I don't get is, how come some degrees have B Civil Engineering or B Aeronautical Engineering? What's the difference? I'm thinking of doing Civil Engineering but since the degree only says B Engineering, is there a difference?

Can someone also explain if I do take up this combined degrees, what sort of subjects/majors do I need to do?

Thanks alot in advanced.

Degree is called Engineering / Arts

When you get accepted into UNSW and your enrolling something will pop up saying "Which Engineering Major" and a big list will come down.
Simply pick civil.

Secondly, For arts, you dont specify your major, basically you just pick 48 UOC (equivalent to 8 subjects of Pshychology) and then you will automatically qualify to graduate in BA (psychology)
However i think they may say "UOC for Arts component 92UOC" so you may need to fill the remainder of the UOC with (more pshychology subjects) or other Arts subjects.

NOTE:
UOC = Units of Credit
Each subject worth 6UOC

Thank you for your help

Also - for the UOC, do I complete all the units during my degree? Or does it change each year? Just the sound of 8 subjects sounds alot :|

Re: 回复: Re: B Engineering/B Arts

4 UOC per subject (most of what you'll be taking)
4 subjects per session
2 sessions per year
4 years for straight engineering
5 years for engineering/arts (so yes, 240 UOC total for this)

is that what you mean?

Ah I understand now, thank you.

Can someone tell me the difference between B Science (Psychlogy) and B Arts (Psychology) combined with B Engineering (Civil) ?

Isnt it obvious? In a BE/BA you do Arts electives whereas a BE/BS you do Science electives. If you're planning to only do Psychology courses throughout your entire degree, then they are basically the same. However, you may not get enough arts/science electives (for BE/BS you only get 10 Science electives) to complete a psychology major so you'll have to look at each individual program plan.

If you were planning on doing Psych, you're better off doing it with Science, because Arts doesn't allow you enough units to do an extra 3 subjects; it wouldn't really be a major. And if you were planning on continuing with Honours, you'd need to. Better explanation here:

Thank you so much for that.
