When new courses are introduced to the curriculum, old courses may be phased out. You can check your UNSW Engineering school below to determine if there are any transitional arrangements and changes that will affect you.
DESN1000 & ENGG1000
From 2022 onwards, ENGG1000 will be renamed to DESN1000. Students who were required to complete ENGG1000 and have not taken the course must complete DESN1000. If you have taken ENGG1000 already, you are not required to complete DESN1000.

If you have already completed CEIC2004 (for CEICAH students) or CEIC3005 (for CEICDH students), ignore DESN2000. Otherwise, enrol in DESN2000 in T2 from 2021 onwards.
From 2022 onwards, the FOODJH Food Science and Technology and FOODKH Food Science and Nutrition stream requirements were revised. Students who started in 2021 or earlier will continue to follow the Handbook requirements for the year they commenced their degree, while students who start from 2022 onwards must follow the new requirements. Please refer to the relevant Handbook entries for program/stream information.
Should you require any enrolment assistance, or wish to transfer to the new stream requirements, please contact your Academic Advisor.

Comments |
From 2021 COMP1531 will replace COMP2121. COMP1531 is now the pre-requisite for MTRN2500 instead of COMP1511. |
