What courses does UTS offer that can lead to a career in programming. Are there any that combine programming with maths?

 

[Dingo2004]

Bachelor of Science in Information Technology, Diploma of Information Technology Professional Practice.
- this course can also be combined with International studies or Laws (but not business.. business has its own combination with B Computing.. which is wierd.. why dont dey just do B Computing / B Laws too den... LOL )

Bachelor of Science in Information Technology Innovation.

Bachelor of Computing / Bachelor of Business.

Bachelor of Mathematics and Computing.

Bachelor of Information Technology.
- needs interview and all dat shit..

therefore the course that sounds like you most wanna do is Bachelor of Mathematics and Computing.. which requires a UAI of around 79ish.

but if u do BScIT/Dip IT PP....u can do upto 24 credit points (electives) outside the IT faculty...u MUST to a minimum of 12 outside the IT fac during 2nd yr or later...so u cud do maths as an subjects as electives!

The following courses at UTS can lead you to a career in programming:
- BSc in Info Tech (strong focus - depending on sub-major can lead to very strong focus)
- BSc in Info Tech Innovation (semi focus, but depends on electives)
- BMath/Comp (semi focus)
- BBus/BComp (semi focus - depends on sub-major)
- BEng in Software Engineering (very strong focus)

If you want to do maths as well then:
- BSc in Info Tech (with Maths sub-major)
- BMath/Comp
- BEng in Software Engineering


Hope that helps!

LOL

That's because that course leads to a more business managerial focused role. You don't really end up being JUST a programmer from that course (hardly any of the people do). But of course it is another course you could do.

Does software engineering involve really hard maths? like a continuation of extension 2. Also is there any site with past exams for this?

 

[Dingo2004]

engineering is all about maths and physics mate
maths is harder than 4U ..
but if u want to do heaps of maths.. you should do B Mathematics and Computing..

its a 3 year course with both maths and computing subjects

The maths in both courses is around about the same. The Maths/Comp course does some statistics and modelling stuff as well as maths. The maths maths part of both courses is around about the same.

The first semester Engineering maths subject is about 3/4 unit level, while the second semester Engineering maths subject is 4 unit +. That's what I've heard anyway and looking at the topics covered by the subject descriptions as well.
