If I did a B Computer Science/Psychology...

what faculties would I be under?

Some say engineering for Computer science and not science itself...?

Can someone clear that up for me? Thanks.

Yeah, at UNSW, Computer Science is in the engineering faculty.

 

[santaslayer]

and psychology...? the one that has a uai of like 78 or something...not the one in the 90's...?

you'd be under faculty of CSE which totally owns any other faculty anywhere...ever!

CSE is not a faculty.

Computer Science is under Engineering, but is a science award.
Psychology is under Science.

Computer Science / Psychology is BSc/BSc

Thanks sunny.
But what do you mean by a "science award"....As in it is still regarded as a degree under the branch of science?

Yep pretty much...CSE is under the Faculty of Engineering, but doing Comp Sci doesn't get you a Bachelor of Engineering (as you would expect from the Engineering faculty), you can get a Bachelor of Science...

OK...LoLz...one more question...

Would doing the Computer Science/Psychology degree be regarded as a double degree or a double major under science? It would make sense as to why it is a double major. (because it is under the same branch..thats is, science. But it would also make sense if iut was a double degree, as both courses fall under a different faculty..?

Thanks in advance.

OK thanks. That was really helpful...ehhh, yet quite confusing at the same time. What then, is the difference between the 4 yr double degree course and the 3 yr double major course? I am specifically asking for the psychology part. Would the 4 yr programme be any better than the 3 yr one or is it essentially the same?

I'm asking a lot here and appreciate the help. Thanks.
