Computer Science at UNSW or USYD? (1 Viewer)

is computer science better at UNSW or USYD?

USYD has the tallented students programme and Computer Science Advanced (only 10 ppl in course).

UNSW say they focus more on practical outcomes...

does any one have any more comments?

thanks

UNSW and USYD are about the same, more science and research based stuff.

UTS IT is based around business, more practical and the stuff that corperations use.

depends on where you want to go once you grad.

UNSW!!!

We have newer equipment, more emphasis on the department (CSE) and a bigger course.

and apply for the co-op program for comp sci ... it gives u very useful industrial training and tons of ca$h

There is a WHOLE faculty of IT at UTS
its in a brand new building and the equiment is very nice
theres co-op at uts as well

I've done a year of computer science at both USYD and UNSW, and I much prefer UNSW - it's fun.

Whilst UTS probably wins in terms of equipment, the rigour of their degrees (compared with USYD/UNSW) is debateable. I've had the opportunity to peruse the work of many friends there; lower standards.

does that include DSS ?

 

[Lazarus]

NO.

but i'm guessing DSS is a necessary evil.

Also worth mentioning , "coffee on campus" @ CSE building, best coffee @ UNSW

 

[tonberry_kun]

according to my physics tutor...
"u go to all the buildings and then u walk into the CSE building and u're like WO!"

i know its not run by the union, hence its expensive ... is it worth the extra cost?

UNSW just looks smaller on map, It is soooooo...ooooo much bigger. I went to both open days.

I think usyd makes full page map just to make itself look bigger
