Hi, guys. I have decide to apply this course Bsc Computer Science ( Multimedia and Game Development ) from SIM-UOW of upcoming intake. Base on the website information.

I holding a poly dip in EI which takes me to final year. But I worry that, if straight year 3 I may suffer. As my past programming knowledge not good as use to be. So, thinking of going to 1.5 year advance standing instead. Can I? But.....if go year 3? And have some bridging moulde, I may consider to go direct too.

In total, I need to take 4 course for I.5 year and 8 courses for year 3. But, the website only show total of 11 module only (4 in year 2 bridging +7 in final year). Seem like short of one. Am am correct? Please correct me if wrong. I abit confuse.

[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif Narrow]Entry Level

[/FONT][FONT=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif Narrow] 1 Year Advanced Standing
[/FONT] 16 Courses


1.5 Year Advanced Standing
12 Courses

2 Year Advanced Standing
8 Course


If check the programme curriculum below it seem like shortage of one
module in year 3. It should be 8 course or 8 modules.

"Year 3 only 7 modules.......???"

And the rest of the question I need to ask in below:

Q1) How is the study structure for part-time?
Q2) How many modules to enrol for per semester? And per semester is how many months?
Q3) How many classes I need to attended per week and per module?
Q4) Contact hour for each module? Any one know?
Q5) Cost for each module?
Q6) Of course, how about starting pay, prospect without exp? As compare to
DSS?
Q7) Any current student care to comment about course?
Q8) Is most of the module got alot programming?
Q9) Beside gamming industry, where else can I go?
10) Is there any bridging module for 1.5 year or year 3 advance standing?


Sorry for the long question. As I need to obtain as much information as possible. Thank you.

Year 3 the Project module is spread over 2 semesters, hence you see only 7 modules.

Q1) You attend lectures first 2 weeks per sem, followed by tutorials/labs once to thrice a week depending on module and schedule (holiday clashes). Be prepared to burn some Saturdays.
Q2)2 modules per semester, one semester consists of roughly 3 months
Q3)See Q1
Q4)3 hours per lecture/tutorial
Q5)Monetary cost? Don't understand this question. Should be as reflected in the course brochure
Q6)No one has any idea about it yet. I do know that jobs are hard to find though, despite what newspapers and online sources say about jobs in the industry.
Q7)Be prepared for the ride of your life. Are you game for it?
Q8)Yes, every semester confirm must do programming. The language of choice will be C++.
Q9)This Bsc is specialized in games and multimedia, so I don't think you can go elsewhere, unless the company thinks that your degree is a good fit for their job requirement.
Q10) Should have bridging modules, but I'm not too sure about the specifics.

[SquallLH]

oh ho, CSCI321 students!
FYP results out liaoz lor! Grad liao lor

 

[simranjitsandhu]

I just got my letter of acceptance for April Full Time Intake. I got the 1.5yr waiver. Anyone else going for it?

 

[Asphodeli]

Any senpais can tell me how to calculate GPA for the degree? Will it be stated on the transcript?

 

[Guest_User]

any yr 3 dss students can share what fyp is about? can do own topics or lecturer give then must choose? individual or grp work? what are the example topics?

 

[superman2006]

Up~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

[SquallLH]

any yr 3 dss students can share what fyp is about? can do own topics or lecturer give then must choose? individual or grp work? what are the example topics?

FYP methodology is basically the same for all 3rd year UOW students.
You'll get a list of topics that is fixed for your Area of Focus.
It'll be group project with a team of 5 or less. You'll not get to choose your group member (although, there's way to circumvent the measure to a certain degree)

As for the example topics, you'll have to ask the DSS students as each AOF has its own separate topics from the other AOF.

For BIT students, the topics have not been changed for the past 1 year from what I understand.

 

[simranjitsandhu]

i got the list of subjects , entering ft in apr 09 from 1.5yrs onwards , i see that the second last semester of yr 3 there is a project 1 , and the last semester has project 2 . So are there two projects in the final year? this doesn't gel with the sim website.

Well, you start your FYP by the end of second last sem.
That's why you see two projects, which is basically one spread over 4 mths

 

[darkchamber]

Ok any students care to shed some lights about the course? I know it's very intensive coz I've been there, done that. Just want to know how the curriculum goes. And would also like to know what kind of GPA can go in there... coz i just received my final year results and it pulled down my overall gpa...

 

[meltz]
