UNSW Foundation Program → B Data Science 2026 Aug intake - any advice?
Hey everyone, I got an offer for Bachelor of Data Science at UNSW but I need to do the UNSW Foundation Program first for 1 year.
A few things I’m trying to figure out:
- Difficulty/grading: How hard is it to actually meet the progression requirement to get into Data Science? (They said I need to meet a gpa of 7.5)
- Subjects: For Data Science, which streams/subjects should I pick in Foundation? Is it Standard or Extended program that most people do?
- Experience: Is the workload manageable if you’re working part-time? How are the classes/lecturers?
- Pathway: Does everyone who passes with the required grades actually get into their degree, or is it competitive again?
If you did Foundation then transferred into CS/Data Science, I’d really appreciate hearing what it was like.
Thanks!
