OK, so basically I have 2 main interests, computer science and shares (the wallstreet kind). If I pursue this course, will I be able to do both? Does anyone do this course or know about this and can give me some advice (UNSW)?

I'd reccomend B Commerce/Computer science over advanced mathematics if you are interested in computer science. Choosing finance (or a similiar field of Commerce/business) alongside CS or Software Engineering is a bit strange in my opinion but i have a friend wanting to do that, if you are passionate in both fields and want a computing related job in finance then go for it! In terms of the course itself though computer science is a lot more theory based and you should consider Software Engineering instead of Computer Science. At UNSW the early subjects between CS and SE are similiar so you have time to decide and transfer.

If there was a course for B-commerce/computer science I would jump on that immediately, but sadly it doesnt exist :( , but can you study computer science as a major for science (maths)?

I'm not really familiar with engineering, but is it possible to transfer a few weeks/months into the course??

There was one last year? http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/informat...ate/programs/computer-science/COMPA13529.html

I don't think so im pretty sure the major for Science (advanced mathematics) IS advanced mathematics... Probably not possible to transfer like that, they would tell you to pick subjects which are common and apply for a transfer the next semester or year. You are probably better off ringing or emailing someone at UNSW to find out about this stuff, it must be different for 2013.

EDIT: Looks like you can do it. http://www.handbook.unsw.edu.au/undergraduate/programs/2013/3529.html http://www.handbook.unsw.edu.au/undergraduate/plans/2013/COMPA13529.html

Can't you just major in Computer Science in the science degree through BComm/BSc(Adv)?

urgh, so should I do a commerce/science degree as opposed to commerce/science (advance maths) to do computer science?

That's what i'm not sure about

EDIT: just checked http://www.uac.edu.au/documents/undergraduate/table-of-courses.pdf
theres only commerce/science or commerce/science (advanced maths)
