how long do you guys spend at uni for engineering course? i know there is alot of courses, but im assuming they are around the same level.


and if you do combined degree (arts), how long would you spend also?

Engineering degrees at UNSW are generally 5 years minimum (full time). I think a combined arts degree would be 5.5+ years.

i thought most single degree engineering courses only have a duration of around 4 years...at UNSW, UTS, USYD and UWS
you have to expect long hours though....maybe around 26 hrs mainly due to 3 hr labs.

Commerce is about 12 hours a week. Science/engineering can expect double that.

UTS I believe is 5 years standard, because they do a year of (paid) work placement during the 4 year course.

at unsw

engineering/arts 5 years
you take 4 courses per session
each engineering course is between 4 and 6 hours/week
most arts courses are 3 hours/week
in total (pre 2006 enrolment) you take 10 arts courses, the rest engineering

expect to take a lot of abuse from the engineering students for being an artsy f4g.

Most engineering degrees outside UTS are 4 years.
Combined engineering at all unis is 5-5.5 years, and UTS straight engineering is 5 years.
It's all in the UAC guide.

Not really. Most CSE students I know envy the abundance of white people in my politics tutes.
Most students I know at USyd aren't racists.
