USYD Economics vs UNSW Economics (1 Viewer)

[Spoken12]

Basically, which is better?Also at USYD it's under Arts + Social Sciences, at UNSW it's under Business... does that make any difference to anything? Vocational prospects? General degree things? Etc etc

 

[Demise]

They're both great, take a pick in regards to travel time, social life needs, cost, etc.

 

[Spoken12]

So it doesn't matter that USYD it's under an Arts + Social Sciences degree?

The change is more or less an administrative issue.Course content is the same.

So there's no impact on vocational prospects? There's no difference once you're done? It won't be looked down upon?

Be careful then. If you don't choose your majors properly you will effectively waste a year. I did. Was going to triple major in Acct, Finance and Econ, but then only minored in Acct, so I have a double major in Finance and Econ, the same as if I had done just regular BEcon.

Yeah, don't worry, I was in the same boat and it was the right choice to make at the time, but with hindsight I wasted an extra year by doing the Comm component when I was only interested in the Econ. Of course you don't have hindsight, so I'm sure you'll be fine.

 

[Bored_of_HSC]

UNSW you'll have to do some compulsory accounting + finance subjects iirc.

But meh, it won't be *that* bad. t

 

[Omnipotence]

Finance isn't compulsory.
