Hi all,

Looking to do a course in one of these I thinkat Curtin. Don't what my dream job or anything is to be honest. I as a Y12 graduate, still trying to choose the right option. Maybe IT manager, director or something, not even sure but I do like the IT and business field.

Currently thinking of Murdoch if I get the scholarship I don't want to do IT or Computer Science. But the low rate of people doing it and it not being certified by Australian Computer Society is putting me a bit off. Not even sure if the ACSs accreditation is even that important.

Curtin course on the other hand is accredited by the ACS and the double major is what I can see to be closely related to the Murdoch course however I think there is more coding involved. I was told to not just look at the scholarship side of things as that can be paid of easily but choose something that's actually good and will get me a job or help me have a good experience at Uni.

Any help, advise and suggestions are much appreciated!

    certified by Australian Computer Society

    Does anyone even check this? I studied a Bachelor of Computing and never once in any job or even when I recruit myself now is any of these degrees checked against ACS. Then again all the Universities I studied at for all my degrees are accredited :/

      How do you know they aren't checking?

      I think the accreditation is primarily for international students seeking residency visas.
      Worthless as an indicator of course quality.

        That would make sense. Certainly a lot of questionable institutions out there.

    I do have some businesses of my own in marketing and in construction which I manage and run, and as a Y12 graduate

    Sorry can you elaborate? You've just graduated highschool, and you've got some businesses of your own?

      Yes I run my own marketing agency and construction business. Started as a side hustle in Y11 but now managing that also, only a bit of work every so often.

        OK. Thought as much. Very impressive.

    In terms of employment outcomes, there will be no differences in these qualifications. Nobody hiring digs in to the courses etc. they will just listen to what you have to say about it in an interview. After your first job, not even that.
    I can’t tell you if they will be fun times, but I did a course with only 30 students and had a great time, albeit decades ago when uni life was quite different.

    I’d take the scholarship if available.
