Looking to do engineering. Haven't done methods.

[james.ryan647]

Hello,
I currently doing year 12 VCE and I've always wanted to study architecture but I've changed my mind in my final year. I'm now looking to study some sort of engineering after enjoying physics this year. I have a huge problem; I'm not doing methods.
My subjects are as follows:
English, physics, business management, history revolutions, further mathematics, and VISCOM which I did last year (38 study score).

What are my options for courses? I know I have next to no chance for first round offers for engineering as I haven't done methods. Is there another way in? I'm willing to do a summer course of methods to get into an engineering course. My preference for universities are Monash or RMIT if possible.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Would definitely recommend having a chat to your careers counsellor at school! They should be an expert in helping out with cases such as these

So, I think you have a few options. One of them being, have a look at and put down other universities - if I'm not mistaken, some require any Maths, instead of Maths Methods. Pretty sure Vic Uni does this. But, I'd probably only lean towards doing this if you're actually set on doing Engineering
Another option is to start a different course, and then after a semester/year, if you're still keen on doing Engineering, transfer over (provided you've completed the necessary pre-reqs).
I think a number of universities also offer a diploma program or something similar, from which you can transfer/move into the Bachelor's degree when you've finished.
There's also the option of doing another degree (eg: Science), then completing Engineering as a post-graduate course.

Really, there's a fair few options, all with their own benefits and risks. I think you'd really benefit from speaking to your careers counsellor, as they'll more than likely be able to give you the best advice.

All the best
