Bachelor of Science (1st Class Honours and University Medal)

University of Sydney

Admitted in 1984 as a candidate for the combined Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Electrical Engineering, and chose not to complete the engineering half — which is why the electrical and drafting subjects sit alongside the computer science below. High Distinctions in all three years of computer science, and in first year physics and chemistry.

Awards

  • University Medal, 1988.
  • University Postgraduate Research Award, 1988, upon graduation.
  • E. Trenchard Miller Memorial Scholarship, 1984–87. It terminated when I transferred off the combined Engineering/Science degree into Honours.

Subjects

Sydney set its first and second year science subjects at several levels, so the “(Distinction)” and “(Advanced)” in a subject’s name is the level of the course taken, not a result. The result is the second column.
