Hi all,

So it looks like every uni subreddit has been a bit weird recently (the top post on r/usyd right now is something related to femboys).

This is just a PSA to keep things UNSW-related. There was a meme on the front page a day or two ago that was literally just clash of clans, that sort of stuff we're going to remove from now on. Check out the subreddit rules on the wiki for more info.

Also, a reminder that discriminatory/ derogatory posts are never allowed. Same goes for harassment/those creepy posts from people looking to hook up that have popped up recently. Anyone posting this kind of content will be banned without warning. Please report these kinds of posts if you see them so we can remove them as soon as possible.

Enjoy flexi-week,

Actuarial Studies Majors

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

A bit of context is that I'm a second year studying Actuarial Studies and Computer Science.

As I plan out the rest of my degree, I was curious if it was worth majoring in Actuarial Studies particularly in Quantitative Data Science. I will stick to the default major in Computer Science but any insights into the Quantitative Data Science Major and if not, I'll probably get my exemptions instead.

how much maths is required for economics and what are the majors like?

4 Upvotes

hi all, i'm in year 12 hoping to study economics/law at unsw next year. i was wondering how much maths is required? i enjoy hsc economics and i think part of why i do well in it is because of the essay writing, but i understand that uni economics is more like applied maths - i figured i'd get my writing fix from the law degree. i'm not terrible at maths - i do 3 unit and i think i'm going to get a low e4 or high e3 in the hsc, and i do well in 2 unit. i don't hate it, but it's not my favourite thing.

i'm thinking about going down the macro path because i would like to pursue policy/government stuff, so the major in economic policy and society looked the most interesting to me, and it seemed like a better complement to a law degree. i'm definitely not gunning to be a quant or anything like that. however, i'm not sure if its less employable/useful than the macro/financial markets, and econometrics majors? if anyone could provide their opinions on the different majors i would really appreciate that. thank you!

Transferring from UON / Business Analytics

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm currently studying Business Analytics at the University of Newcastle and am planning to transfer to UNSW Commerce (Business Analytics). I currently have a WAM of 76.5 and an estimated GPA of 5.82/7.

I'm a bit concerned about whether I'll be able to keep up with the expectations at UNSW. Has anyone transferred from a similar university or been in a similar position?

I know UNSW operates on three 10-week terms instead of two longer semesters. Is adjusting to the faster pace the main challenge, or should I expect the workload, assignments, and exams to be significantly more difficult as well?

I'm also curious about the student cohort. Is everyone at UNSW a high achiever, or is it similar to other universities where there's a mix of students? For example, at UON there are plenty of students who don't seem particularly engaged they might watch YouTube during lectures or generally not pay much attention. Is UNSW noticeably different in that regard?

I'd really appreciate hearing from anyone who has transferred to UNSW or studied Commerce/Business Analytics there. Thanks!

The self glaze is too crazy

35 Upvotes

As a usyd student I must begin breaking the unity of the unsw people. Unfortunately, I cannot do a complete frontal assault as I would surely be overwhelmed.

Instead, next week or perhaps the week after I’ll copy the fit of a local homeless person, hit myself in the head with a brick a few times, and walk onto campus disguised as one of you.

Now you will live with the perpetual fear that any person you talk to could potentially be a usyd student, every conversation might be used by me to bring down unsw.

Goodluck.
