    In need of serious "late round" help!

    Just put your preferences in the order you want them, and you dont need to put the same course that you accepted on your preference, understand? You have already accepted it regardless if it is on your preferences in the late round. So if you want to consider something else fill your...

    Help! a tough decision

    I would take UWS B.Business (Applied Finance) due to four reasons. 1. Will cost you alot less - Insearch is 10k+ to my knowledge, whilst UWS is still pricing HECS at the lower 2005 rate, so maybe 5-6k 2. You can still get subjects exempted if you take the right ones! Statistics, Acc1, Acc2...

    Differences between USYD and UNSW for B Comm

    UNSW has the best commerce degree followed by UTS B.Business. UNSW has the biggest finance faculty so I don't see how you can say USYD is better. Also, I've been told that USYD is very theory based. Depends what you are looking for... uni life would definitely be USYD. If you want a...

    Marketing is the shittest core subject.

    Im doing marketing this summer and after having already four subjects this year, this subject is the first that has put me to sleep every lecture (so far, which is three). Possibly more the content but even when the lecturer makes a joke to keep us alert its usually lame. Last lecture I woke...

    combining accg with law

    I disagree that the CA is more internationally recognised than the CA. Here in Australia, the CA has more prestigue than the CPA. CPA is more for people in commerce industry as oppose to the accounting industry. I know the only place that the CPA is considered a better qualification is USA...

    combining accg with law

    Where i work, a graduate in both law and com is paid a slightly higher salary. But in terms of having an advantage over everyone else depends on the type of accountancy you will be doing. The only real advantage i can see is if you went into tax (which would be what i would do if i combined...

    Accounting for insolvency & International Accounting

    Accounting for insolvency is a joke of a subject. Frank, the coordinator of the subject tried selling it to the Accounting 2 class. Seems like you make stupid movies, although noone fails, it doesnt count to any major but you can sneak away with a small business accounting sub major if u...

    melboune cup vs. IPT exam

    I did the hsc last year and the ipt exam also clashed with melbourne cup. The examiner asked whether we wanted to listen to it and he will add 10 minutes onto the end of our exam. Obviously we had to put pens down but it was a good breather.

    B Business

    Many people just use the double degree B.Business/B.Computing as a pathway to the single degree B.Business. If you do the double degree and major in accounting you will be accrediated by CA and CPA (CA is better). With the person that mentioned the cadetship, Im currently undertaking one...

    Finance and working overseas

    Well im not sure if this is really your cup of tea but you said you want to travel, an accounting major will allow you to do this. Auditing would have to be to most free occupation in the world, especaily due to IFRS. Its the same everywhere you go, you not always behind the desk, its 50/50...
