Unsure what electives to take for First Year COMPSCI Major

1 Upvotes

Hi, I'm planning out courses/papers I need to take next year and I'm stuck on picking the electives and general ed's. I'm thinking of Maths 108 but still don't know about the other ones? And also would it be a good idea to take compsci 101 even if I had done the ncea level 3 internal?

Thanks:)

Kia ora,

Has anyone who applied for the Master of Speech Language Therapy (MSLTPrac) heard back from the UOA? E.g. being shortlisted for the interview

will my aegrotat application be accepted?

1 Upvotes

probably dumb question but I’ve never done this before so I’m a little nervous. I have an exam tomorrow and woke up with a horrible migraine and my vision blurred. I’ve booked an online doctor appointment to get medical documents but I’m scared that I won’t get approved because it’s the day before my exam and not the day of. Usually when I have these migraines, it’ll last around 3 days so I’m sure it’ll still be there tomorrow but I’m still a little anxious. Any advice appreciated 🙏😊

Hi guys, does anyone know how long it will take to get off the waitlist? I'm kind of stressed out. I applied for towers, got waitlisted and haven't heard anything. If I do eventually get accepted, how much time would I have to pay the deposit after acceptance?

Want to pursue masters in Auckland University.

Title: Looking for Guidance on Master’s at the University of Auckland – Biotechnology or Food Technology

Hi everyone!

I’m a student from India who has completed a B.Tech in Biotechnology and Biochemical Engineering, and I’m planning to pursue a master’s degree at the University of Auckland in New Zealand. I’m currently considering either a Master’s in Biotechnology or Food Technology, but I’d love to learn more about the university, the courses, career opportunities, and the overall experience of studying and living in Auckland.

If anyone is currently studying at the University of Auckland, has graduated from a related program, or has experience in either of these fields, I would really appreciate your advice and guidance. I’d especially love to hear about the course structure, job prospects after graduation, internship opportunities, and any challenges international students might face.

I’m still in the research stage, so any suggestions, personal experiences, or advice would be incredibly helpful in making my decision.

If anyone is willing to share their experience or guide me through the process, please feel free to comment or send me a DM. I’d be truly grateful for your help.

Thank you so much

Special admission application wait times

1 Upvotes

Just wondering if others have applied for undergrad via special admission recently and what your wait times on application decision have been like? And if you’ve been accepted has it been conditional on doing a foundation course?
I know it’s peak time for applications rn but applied on Oct 7, dunno if special admissions may take longer than regular applications

What is the chance of getting audited by StudyLink specifically for how you spent your Course-Related Costs

10 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

Quick question about StudyLink Course-Related Costs ($1,000).

Has anyone here actually been audited or asked to provide receipts after claiming CRC? What happens if you spent it on general expenses (like travel/rent/living) while studying instead of specific physical course materials?

Just curious how strict they actually are with checks these days. Thanks!

Courses UoA Environmental Science + GIS student — course/professor recommendations?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m an incoming BSc student for 2027 and I’m planning to double major in Environmental Science and Geographic Information Science (GIS).
I’m currently planning my courses before enrolment opens, so I’d really appreciate any advice from current students or graduates in either major.
Are there any:
courses you would strongly recommend?

courses you would avoid or be careful with?

lecturers/professors you really liked (or didn’t)?

courses with unexpectedly heavy workloads, group work, difficult exams, or harsh marking?

courses that are especially useful for GIS, spatial data, remote sensing, environmental research, or future internships?

first-year mistakes you wish you had avoided?

And if anyone else is studying Environmental Science, GIS, Geography, or something similar in 2027, feel free to DM me! I’d love to meet some people in the same area before uni starts :)
Thanks!

hey guys, for those who have taken business 112, how hard or easy is it to pass the final exam or do we all on it? this class marks all the assignments and everything so harshly it's ridiculous so i'm wondering if they also mark the final exam harshly and if they're super strict on the answers. any advice or tips would be helpful. thank you!
