2011 High School Students: Start University Now!
UNSW Computing course for year 10-12 students
In 2011 a limited number of talented high school students will be offered the opportunity to enrol at UNSW and take COMP1917, our advanced first-year university level course in computing.
Get university credit for free
This is not an HSC subject substitution, but a genuine university computing course with the same content, assignments, and exam as taken by first-year Computing, Science, and Engineering students at UNSW. Students who subsequently enroll in a UNSW Computing or Engineering degree will receive credit for the course.
How it works
Students watch lectures at home on DVD and then attend weekly tutorial classes at UNSW or one of the alternative locations listed on the website. Classes run from March to June. No previous programming experience is required, mathematical insight is useful.
How to apply

The Tiny Print: For high school students in Year 11 in 2011 (Year 10 and 12 applications will be considered if there are sufficient places and HSC studies allow the time) • UNSW does not charge fees for this course. Any associated costs will not be covered by UNSW (transport to/from the classes, etc) • Computer labs will be used, but a laptop will be beneficial • The Tutorials will be held Wednesdays 4:00-6:30pm. Monthly lecture days will run at UNSW from 4:00-7:00pm. Applicants must be able to attend all of these. The other Lectures will be viewed weekly via DVD, YouTube or iTunes • Students who obtain 85 or higher in the course automatically qualify for the elite computing program if they also gain entry to UNSW • Passing this course is regarded as strong evidence of aptitude for those intending to apply for UNSW entry via the FEAS process • We intend to record the tutorial class and material and post it on the internet in the same manner as the lectures • Guardian's permission must be obtained. UNSW will not be responsible for the students outside of class time and have limited liability during class time • Successful applicants may be required to supply a potato • Other UNSW policies apply (rules about cheating, copying assignments etc).
